i agree 100% It's definitely gotta be one of the most emotional moments in the trilogy.

Nothing was more moving than that part. Where Obi Wan was just exhausted almost hyperventilating besides how awful and scared and disappointed he must've felt inside, during the duel with Anakin.

That scene was the only moment in the movie where my eyes welled up a bit a moment after hearing Obi Wan say it. It was like he was definitely sure he had failed Anakin, as if there was no doubt about it. Nodding his head assuredly while saying it, on top of saying it twice in a row. It was just like jeez. It was definitely a downer. They had the most profound friendship I've ever seen on film (over Samwise and Frodo, imo) only for it to turn into one of the most deadliest rivalries.

It was quite boring actually. They both tried too hard. And I STILL can't believe you placed that over Frodo and Sam. You sir, have no judgment in character.

"The Chinese Connection" s/ Bruce Lee.

Towards the end, just after finally avenging his teacher, Bruce lets police arrest him and while he walks out of the building, with officers about him, he stops right outside front door of the school and stares emotionlessly at an infantry aiming rifles at him. He then yells out the top of him lungs and dashes toward the militia men and goes out in a blaze of glory.

He jumps into the air and the film pauses while he's mid-air and all you hear is a barrage of bullets with the honorable sounding score. Then the flick fades out.

The big boss right?

Oh and for me the green mile although there are others as well.

The final scene in Requiem for a Dream. While the characters aren't technically dead, they've been systematically destroyed by the common foe of the film: addiction. The imaginary embrace between Harry and his mother, where they tell eachother they love eachother is among the most heart breaking, haunting and tragic moments I've ever experienced in a film.

William Wallace at the end of Braveheart.

^ That was one hell of a a memorable scene.

I'm not sure about the last lines yet. BUt you guys should check out the death theme in the new film Elvis and Anabelle. The premis is a teenage mortician falls in love with a beauty queen who comes back to life. Sounds hokey, but the cinematography actually looks pretty cool and Max Minghella is playing Elvis (art school confidential was awesome!) Check out the website: elvisandanabelle .com

I was bored and went to the elvis and anabelle site. I was just going to check it out but I ended up spending alot of time there. I really like how we have an effect on the trailer. I really liked the death one. I kind of got an Edward Scissorhands feel and the acting talent seems just as spot on. If you have not checked it out, I would encourage it.

Last scene in American History X.

Juliet's stab scene.

Order 66........... is all I have to say.

SPOILERS FOR ALL MOVIES LISTED:

Boromir in Lord of the Rings-Not the first time I watched, actually after I got into the whole series more and the stories in general, I looked back, watched it again and went damnit, he was a good leader, just a prick.
Also, Theoden's demise.

28 Days Later- The father of Hanna. He was so cool and I was actually suprised they killed him off.

The scene in Hidalgo where hes about to kill Hidalgo then they win the race.

The end of Gladiator.

The end of Star Wars Ep. 1- I LOVED MAUL DAMNIT.

The end of the Last Samurai.

Heath Ledger in the Patriot and also when one of the militiamen kills himself when seeing his son and wife killed by the Brits.

Somewhat the end of Menace II Society

Maybe more later......

During the final battle in 'Glory', when Colonel Shaw charges into oncoming fire, knowing it to be suicide, but did it to motivate his troops.

Seeing the looks on the faces of the soldiers and how they react is one of the greatest movie scenes, I have ever seen

I always tear up a bit whenever I watch it.

Leon in Leon The Proffesional, one of my favourite movies and actors making me so sad and happy all at once

When Ricky gets shot in Boyz N the Hood.

I would have to say that a bunch that have been listed are all great candidates, but I just watched The Guardian, and I have to say it would have to be Rendell's death at the end, the music that was playing, the scene, the bond between the two, I just found it very emotional...

Hargiten (sp?) in Sin City
Angel in Rent

No one has mentioned the elephant man? anyone seen that movie? Very very sad ending.

Also Mufasa's death scene ranks in there, and Arnie in t2. Sad sad scenes.

I like the concept of this thread, but then again it's going to spoil anything if anyone was wanting to see a movie listed in this thread. 🙄

Anyways, mine is for Ladder 49.

Spoiler:
I don't know his exact words, but Jack, the firefighter and main character was caught in the burning building and they couldn't get to him and he was just telling Mike Kennedy over the walkie-talkie to tell Linda that he loved her and to take care of the kids and stuff. I cried so hard.

And the other one was from Lord of the Rings, which I won't put spoilers around it because most everyone has read the books or seen the films. It's when Frodo is ready to sail into Valinor and he is going around to Sam, Merry, and Pippin and giving his goodbyes. That was really sad.
