Some really excellent choices here and it's a tough choice to name one scene but I would have to go for the end scene in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest when Chief smothers Randle McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), absolutely harrowing and Chief didn't want him to live life as a zombie and killed him.

There's a very moving scene in the John Ford film , The Searchers .
Ethan Edwards , played by John Wayne , has for years looked to exact revenge on the Indians who killed his brothers family and also kidnapped his niece . He finally finds those Commanches responsible for those crimes and he also finds that his kidnapped niece , Debbie is still alive and being held captive by them . What makes the scene very moving is that your not quite sure if Ethan Edwards Will harm Debbie when he finds her, or rescue her . You're not sure because he has so much hatred for the Indians and he believes that she, after living with them for years , has become one of them . Anyway , big john and his buddies , raid the Indian village and during the commotion he sees his niece , frightened , running away ,it appears he is very angry as he chases after her . She falls to the ground , he then climbs off his horse and picking Debbie up he raises her above his head and says with obvious love " Let's go home , Debbie" Classic film . Possibly the greatest western ever made . It's my Fathers favourite film . I must have seen it at least 10 |

The courtroom scene from the untouchables where they switched the jury's was pretty good with de Niro and Costner.

 I've never been called 'Sloppy' before ! 'Skippy' plenty of times but never Sloppy! I'm really well Culvin and thank you for asking, all is very good with me and I'm off to Spain on Monday for 10 days, it's about 27C there so will crash out on the beach reading a couple of books and no doubt a couple of cold beers will be imbibed with a few mates so looking forward to getting out of London for awhile. I hope all is well with you Culvin  |

By:

Hope you have a great time in Espana , and while your drinking your beer make sure you don't spill any of it otherwise you may well be known as sloppy , ha ha . Take care , you chit chat legend. |

Reading through this thread made me think of an interview I saw many moons ago with the Director David Lynch, in which he makes reference to the “eye of the duck” (EOTD) scene. The pivotal scene, or fulcrum which provides symmetry and throws the body of the film into some kind of sharp relief.
So in the spirit of the EOTD i’ll choose this from my fav Lynch effort … Lost Highway https://youtu.be/qZowK0NAvig |

When James Coburn blows himself up at the end of "A Fistful of Dynamite". I couldn't believe it. He could have made so many more films

But seriously:
The final scene of Cinema Paradiso The words of Hitler's secretary at the end of Downfall Also like the choices for Cool Hand Luke and Paths of Glory |
|
By:
Cinema Paradiso - the final scene when Salvatore watches Alfredo's reel and discovers it comprises all the romantic scenes that the priest had ordered to cut from the movies.
Moon - When Sam (unaware that he is a clone) manages to phone home to speak to his wife Tess but the phone is answered by his daughter who says that Tess died some years ago and then shouts "Dad, there's someone on the phone asking about Mum" The Lives of Others - when the Stasi agent opens the book and sees that it is dedicated to him |

TBH I think there is a lot of cowardice in this thread.
I'm pretty damned sure quite a few of you got very teary eyed at various points in the Toy Story series, but are scared to admit it on a public forum. This is 2019 men, admitting it on such a welcoming and friendly forum as chit chat is no shame. This is a safe space, there are no insults or mocking here!  |

The suspence in the first 15 mins of Inglorius Bastards with the jews hidden under the floorboards while the Jewhunter Nazi played a game with the Farmer knowing all the time they were there was unreal - that's got to be up there as well.What a film that was .

'The Road' - when they find the bunker
'Forrest Gump' - when Tom Hanks says 'Is he...?' about his child possibly being stupid 'Sense And Sensibility' when the magnificent Emma Thomson breaks down learning that Edward (Hugh Grant) isn't married and two from 'The Shawshank Redemption' The tarmac roof/beer scene and when Red visits the tree and finds the box |

When I was a kid and I saw King Kong (1932film) , I got very upset and I cried when King Kong was killed .He was a big naughty monkey , but I loved him .
I watched the film quite recently for the first time in over 20 years and I was surprised to find myself thinking it was a bit rubbish . I still love Kong , though . |

One scene that confused me was Jennifer Jason Leigh's reaction to the guitar smashing in 'The Hateful Eight' - It didn't appear to fit the scene. Why would her character be THAT concerned about it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjOKyC1pGDE The truth is that it was a borrowed and priceless 1870's Martin guitar that was supposed to be swapped, but wasn't! The reaction is genuine... and also priceless. |

When I first saw "The Master" in Salem's Lot that made me jump!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLLW5jFcRtI Les Miserables always gets me. Jacknife was a film I found very moving too, although don't recall a particularly scene moving me, rather the films as a whole. |

Béatrice Dalle as 'Betty Blue' and the last part of the film where she descends into a life of insanity is very tough to watch. I did like the film a great deal but it's not one I would ever care to see again having said that.

One more, "Let him have it". The scene lasts less than a minute

Yeah that toystory was a chocker
That reminded me of another The Time Traveler's Wife- Where he briefly appears from the woods and his kid sees him and runs to fetch his wife who just arrives in time before he disappears I thought that would have been even better if she didnt make it in time |

Carousel (1955) Julie Jordan's (Shirley Jones), Sweetheart , Billy Bigelow, (Gordon MacRae) has just been Shot and killed , during an attempt to commit a robbery , a robbery he attempted to raise money so he could marry Julie , and care for their unborn kid
As he lays dead in the street , Julie , holds/hugs him , and then With her cousin , Nettie , by her side , she begins to sing ' You'll never walk alone'. " When you walk through a storm hold your head up high and don't be afraid of the . ." She's too upset to sing anymore , so Nettie, sings the song for her . " When you walk through a storm hold your head up high and don't be afraid of the dark At the end of the storm is a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind , walk on through the rain ,tho your dreams be tossed and blown . Walk on , walk on, with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone you'll never walk alone " It's a real tearjerker, and myself being a Liverpool FC fan , gives the scene further emotional power . |
