This is sad *facepalm*

The scene in the last Harry Potter film when Harry goes to the forest to face Voldemort.

The ending of The Shawshank Redemption

[Sister Helen]

I don't watch this show very much, but there is a scene that I loved:



Background - the Booth character had injured his arms and he had no strength in them, so he couldn't free the Bones character from the hook with his hands.  So he used he put his head through the loop of her arms and tied wrists to lift her wrists over the hook.

Best scene ever.  And with one of my favorite actors as the bad guy.  Pure bliss.

Gladiator end scene

[Mercannis]

Two movies immediately come to mind, Men of Honor with Cuba Gooding JR and Braveheart.

Braveheart- The speech on the battlefield and the execution at the end of the movie.

Men of Honor- The entire movie was a rollercoaster of emotions.

I´m finally watching B5 (still on season 1). Some very good ones there. Sinclair´s speech as to why humanity must go to the stars is my favorite so far, with G´kar´s ant talk to Catherine Sakai second.

Others: Adama on the hills of Africa, the last flight of the Galactica, Derek Reese taking John Connor to see Kyle as a child, the epilogue of Avatar The Last Airbender,...

 The whole of the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' episode 'The Body'. Really sad and harrowing and moving stuff. Having been through something very similar, I was amazed at how well the programme dealt with the subject matter, particularly when supposedly 'realistic' tv shows haven't done it nearly as well. There are particular scenes where Buffy seems 'numb' to what's happened, as though it's distant or unreal, and keeps going over in her mind how it can be changed or rectified; and that's exactly how I felt after the same thing happened. One of the best episodes, imo, even though it isn't one I'd care to re-watch.

The scene with Vigo Mortensen's character and his son at the end of The Road.

That was a tearjerker, though I cried more reading the book.

I must be missing whatever gene makes everyone respond to Joss Whedon stuff so much.  I liked Firefly as an adventure series but it didn't grab me.

I'm not a fan of Buffy, and I had never seen an episode before, or since.   But one day I happened to catch this ep, and I knew I was watching something very unusual for TV.    (didn't know the title of the ep either, but I guessed it was the same one).

This episode is a standout in a great series. The show dealt with death all the time, at least the deaths of supernatural beings and the like. Death was no big deal in most episodes. But Joyce Summers wasn't dead at the hands of a Monster Of The Week, it was a brain hemorrhage. The episode didn't have any music track at all, there was no maudlin faux-sentimentality, it was stark. It focused on the very random and complicated reactions of the surviving characters. Dawn's reaction was especially moving, as was Anya's, as I had mentioned in my first post. But also the way Willow was obsessed with finding the right thing to wear, that she was frustrated by how silly her clothes were, and Xander's feelings of powerlessness. And Buffy herself, feeling like she had to be strong for everyone, and her initial "fantasy scenario" when she first discovered Joyce's body, and her inability to cope with what she was seeing. The episode is hard for people to watch, because it's a LOT like what happens in real life when a person dies suddenly and unexpectedly. We're used to TV shows inserting a comfortable layer of fiction, a sense of being an observer, but this episode makes you feel like you're there with them. It really is among Joss Whedon's best work.

Great post, that sums up the brilliance of the episode exactly.  The fact that it was a usually 'supernatural' show dealing with death in such a realistic, even naturalistic way, contributed even more to its impact. It was such a shock to see a programme about demons and monsters suddenly change tack in this way and have nothing fantastic in it beyond Buffy's hopeless desire to 'save' Joyce. One of those rare bits of writing that managed to be brutally honest and very sensitive at the same time. Great television.

Also, yes! Blackadder Goes Forth, what an ending. When No Man's Land changes to a field of poppies at the very end, when Darling and George say how scared they are and there's no comedic comeback from Blackadder. I mean, a comedy show about about World War One was never going to end well, was it? But again, it was so brilliantly done, and didn't shirk from showing the reality of the situation just because it wasn't going to be funny. My mum really disapproved of BGF when it first aired, she said it 'made light' of one of the most horrific times in recent history; but my sister and I persuaded her to watch that last episode with us and she had a complete change of heart.

Not all, but here are a few:

Farscape:
"Won't Get Foolded Again" - When Crichton encounters his mother in the bar.
"Die Me, Dichotomy" - Aeryn's Death
"Dog with Two Bones" - I was fine until Crichton yelled "no".

B5:
Sheridan's death.
Neroon's death.
Ivanova almost dying.
Marcus's death.

Saving Private Ryan - The opening scene on the beach, when Mama Ryan drops to the ground, Wade's death and Captain Miller's death.
Victoria & Albert - When Victoria reacts to Albert's death.
XMen - Opening scene when Magneto loses his parents.
The Manchurian Candidate (1962) - From the moment Shaw kills his wife through to the end.
Black Hawk Down - Several times throughout the film.

 I remember making a list of movies that have made me cry. It ended up being 3 pages long. I know, I'ma sucker, but some of the more notable examples I haven't seen metnioned: 

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas- The ending was so depressing and unexpected, I was bawling for a good 15 minutes afterwards. United 93-  The bravery of the people on board in the face of such a hopeless situation, made even worse when you know the actual outcome beforehand. 
Click- The ending where he's dying, but runs after his family just so he can tell them to put family first, and then dies in the arms of his family. 
Blood Diamond- This moving is too depressing. 
American History X- Right after Edward Furlong learns the error of his ways, his mistake comes back to haunt him and ends up killing him. 
Gran Torino- Clint Eastwood, the jaded and racist war vet comes to love and accept his Hmong neighbors, I thought the father relationship with the kids was so touching, especially seeing his actual kids being such tools. The was so b'aww(l) worthy, he sacrifced himself to begin the road to cleaning up the neighborhood.

[Han Shot First]

The last veteran in this trailer from the documentary Chosin, about the Battle of the Chosen Reservoir, where 15,000 US Marines and a battalion of Royal Marines were surrounded by 120,000 Communist Chinese during the Korean War, but successfully broke out of the encirclement carrying most of their dead and wounded, and mauling 7 of the attacking divisions along the way.




Sad that so few people in the United States know anything about Chosen, considering it was probably the most epic fight against the odds in US military history. The 'Chosin Few' as the veterans are called, deserve more recognition.

I remember that.  Any chance to put David Boreanaz and Adam Baldwin on screen together is a win in my book.  After their fight at the end of Angel.
He's like the second best thing on Chuck.
Bones is like the only Crime drama I can stomach.  it feels more intelligent and when I do watch it I care about these people.

If you get the chance you should watch it with commentary.  Its a chance to pick apart Whedon's brain.  The things he came up with for just that one episode is amazing.
"reason there is no music in this episode is I didn't want the audience off that easy.  Music would give them something pleasent to latch onto and I didn't want that."
I never look forward to see it but I can't skip it EVER.  Its not an enjoyable episode to say the least but its not to be ignored.
