Which scene from a t.v.show/movie really touched you?

[nirvana555]

I wish I knew how to post the scenes but I don't. I'm doing some research on heartfelt moments. I was taken aback on the finale of Breaking Bad when Jesse's daydreaming of doing his woodworking then the scene switches to real life. Of course you need to know what happened before.....What are some of your favorites?

1. The scene from Breaking Bad in Ozymandius where Walt is begging for Hank's life

As bad as he had become, there was true desperation/humanity in his ultimately unsuccessful pleas

[nirvana555]

3. Once again the brilliance of Breaking Bad perfectly illustrates the duality of the

Human spirit. That scene torn me up....

2. Dances With Wolves

when the fierce Sioux warrior Wind In His Hair went up on the mountain and shouted down his 'good-bye' in Lakota to the Kostner character:

"Dances With Wolves. I am Wind In His Hair. Do you see that I am your friend? Can you see that you will always be my friend?"

5. I've never seen that movie. This is what I'm looking for... Films I know

I should see but for some reason haven't yet. Thank you

4. "The Stackhouse Filibuster" from The West Wing.

A 78 year-old liberal Senator from Wisconsin is in the 8th hour of a filibuster to halt voting on a medical benefit bill unless a provision can be added for autistic children.

One of the West Wing staffers realizes without being told that the Senator has a grandchild with autism, but hadn't wanted to mention it due to possible concerns of exploiting his own grandchild.

The West Wing staffers, including and especially the grandfathers, rush some sympathetic Senators to the floor to ask Senator Stackhouse for information about autism and possible treatments. It's a procedural move designed to give the exhausted Senator a rest, but it leads to the bill being re-opened and the provision being added.

I'd post a Youtube link, but I don't have the time right now...

6. My sister can't believe I've never seen The West Wing. It' another one I'm going to

Have to do a marathon on along with The Wire.... Thank you

[Aristus]

9. Your sister would probably agreed with me that

it is one of the best TV shows ever. (No hyperbole, there... )

At least the first four seasons, anyway. Created, and largely written by Aaron Sorkin, the writing, the characters, and the dialogue are all first rate. It was an unashamedly smart, and proudly liberal show. It re-introduced viewers to the notion that public service can, and should be, a noble calling. (Quite a difference from what we're seeing from Congress these days...) Running from 1999-2006, it helped me through the darkest years of the B*sh pResidency.

Sorkin left the show after Season 4, and the quality of the writing fell. Also, it became a plot-driven, rather than character-driven drama. Still, I have the first four seasons on DVD and watch them all the way through 2-3 times a year. It was an amazing piece of television...

16. So many moments

Leo's funeral. Not only a tribute to the character also for John Spencer. No acting in that scene.

Toby going to the mat for the homeless vet. Mrs Landingham telling Charlie why she can't enjoy Christmas.

Leo telling Josh, "I've been down in that hole and I know the way out."

[vanlassie]

25. When CJ's bodyguard Simon Donovan was shot and killed.

[UncleYoder]

7. "Lt. Col. Henry Blake's plane was shot down,

over the Sea of Japan. It spun in. There were no survivors."


Walter "Radar" O'Reilly

[nirvana555]

8. I tear up thinking about that one. I saw it..... N/T

[charlie and algernon]

10. Danny Devito and Kevin Spacey talking about dreams in "The Big Kahuna"

And then Danny DeVito talking about what it means to have character

[Ranchemp.]

11. The final scene in I Am Legend.

and Andre, A True Story.

Ending never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

[lastlib]

12. The ending of "Billy Jack"!

[Taverner]

13. The end of "Six Feet Under"

[mrmpa]

14. This scene from The Sixth Sense........

when Cole tells his mother about his ability to see Dead People. He is able to connect his mother to his ability by speaking about his Grandmother. Toni Collette is just amazing to watch in this scene.

[RiffRandell]

15. On ER when Noah Wylie (Carter?) held his stillborn son and his wife didn't want to see him.

I wasn't even a mother at the time but I was crying my eyes out. I think the Mom eventually saw him but it was so sad. They were both so heartbroken.

I was also touched when Walt tried saving Hank and telling Skyler where the bodies were. I was crying when he was watching Walt Jr. getting off the bus.

17. Babe

"That will do, Pig. That will do."

[Jenoch]

18. Mary Tyler Moore Show

The funeral for Chuckles the Clown.

'A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants.'

[nirvana555]

19. Wow... Six feet under, the sixth sense...yes... The season finale of sfu is often

Considered the best ever and I may agree. My god there were so many scenes in sfu that just reduced me to rubbish.... David barely able to walk at Nates funeral (Michael c hall so should've at least been nominated for an Emmy for that one show). And that particular scene in the sixth sense was amazing.... I pretty much cried through the whole finale of breaking bad but I agree, when Walt was looking at jr. From afar....omg...

20. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

When Jim Prideaux takes out Bill Haydon.

Up to that point everything has a very sophisticated air. Massive betrayal, never mind George will still pay off Haydon's girlfriend and boyfriend as a gentlemanly gesture.

Prideaux is a true believer, Believer in Britain, in the good Faith and in old Friends (he warned Haydon before he went to Czechoslovakia. In the end he will assert a primal justice and squeeze the last breath out of Haydon (Alex Guiness/book version).

After a long journey of high dialogue and subtle nuanced characters wondering the landscape good ole Jimbo takes his college lover and long term hero into his hands and balances the scales with our animal side.

21. Peggy Sue Got Married, Contact and Goodbye Again

there are a couple of scenes in the first one. I don't want to spoil it for you if you haven't seen the movie, but the first is where Peggy Sue's grandmother calls and she answers the phone, then later when Peggy Sue goes to visit her grandparents and has a heartfelt conversation with her grandmother. Makes me cry buckets whenever I see it.

In Contact, when the alien speaks with Jodie Foster and he looks like her father who passed away when she was a child.

The last one is near the end of movie between Ingrid Bergman and Tony Perkins. Have your handkerchief or tissues ready!

[nirvana555]

23. Spoilers are what I'm looking for! Thanks for being considerate but if

A movie or tv show has been out for years it can't be spoiled for me. I'm specifically looking for scenes. I know and love the Peggy sue scenes you're talking about and completely agree. I've never even heard of goodbye again. So I'll put it on my list. Thank you!

22. Crocodile Dundee...

...was a forgettable movie, but I love the scene in which Mick walks down a NYC street for the first time, attempting to greet each and every one of his fellow pedestrians, only to be ignored. It's charming and sad.

[nirvana555]

24. I love that crocodile Dundee scene too. Thanks :-) n/t

[Inkfreak]

26. This Boys Life. The entire movie.

I related to everything in it. It still moves me everytime I watch it. My stepfather was not a good man.

[nirvana555]

27. That's another one I've never seen and always wanted to. Thanks for the suggestion!

[Sissyk]

28. When Gus (played by Robert Duval)

dies in Lonesome Dove.

29. Boris, in the Bond film "Goldeneye":

"I am in-VEENCE-able!!!"

(yeah, sometimes I feel like that when I do something brilliant on the computer!)
