Eternal Sunshine: Wow. Pretty much most of the memory scenes.

I'll probably have a lot more soon. Still so many movies I need to see (in fact I made a whole list of them )

[Traitorfish]

OK, rather than asking what other people though, you made a list... well, judging by your choice of viewing, you know a lot more about movies than me, so fair enough. My idea of a powerful scene is where Mean Machine Angel uses his power-robo-arm to smach through someone's face, or where a ninja uses his ultra-ninja-power to jump over a 50-foot wall and land on someone's head.
I'm... I'm not smart...

Well the point of the thread was to list what you thought were the most powerful/emotional movie scenes.

[Traitorfish]

Yeah, I know, I ws just joking around.

[Shoeberto]

Requiem for a Dream's ending really did a number on me.

[Venom]

Spinal Tap, the arguement between the singer and the guitar player.

[look_out_below]

Hmm lets see

Bicentennial Man-the whole jumping out the window and consequence window fear scenes, the ending scene

Edward Scissorhands-when the inventor dies

The Rocky Horror Picture Show-just because that movie is so bizarre you'll never forget (no matter how much you might try)

Schindler's List-the whole thing

i probably know more but cant remeber what they are

[Traitorfish]

Actually, I have a few ideas: the scene at the end of The Shawshank (sp?) Redepmtion, and that bit in We Were Soldiers (though I think it's a deleted scene) were Mel Gibson's character is talking to the poltician guy, who says that the US will drive them back home, and Melony gives a little speech about them 'already being home'. I don't know why, exactly, but that was quite good.

American Beauty: Suicide at the end

I just saw that movie last night, and there was no suicide.

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

[SIZE="1"]LOTR: Too many to count

[GooeyToast]

I meant when Kevin Spacey is murdered by his wife *shoots self*

[tailz]

yeah lotr had allot but the best was when the rohirim arived at the pelenor fields

[Skarr]

Royal Tenenbaums: Richie's suicide and Royal's funeral

It moved me...

[Cuchulainn]

I meant when Kevin Spacey is murdered by his wife *shoots self*

He was murdered by the repressed homosexual neighbour. Did you actually even WATCH the movie?

Actually the man murdered him not because the man himself was homosexual, but because he thought his son was having homosexual relations with Kevin Spacey's character.
