Most emotional scenes in film

[antemortem]

Identify some of the most emotional scenes in film or television that you've personally seen. Emotional doesn't necessarily mean you cried, but you could've been deeply invested in the scenario and effected by the outcome(s).

One of the most emotional moments in a film for me was in Shaun of the Dead. It may have been a comedy film, but when one of the main characters, Ed, was attacked by a zombie and smoked his final cigarette before he changed, it was upsetting.

There are a million but one that sticks out from me after just catching up on Game of Thrones

GoT Season 4 spoilers are coming.

Spoiler:

When Ygritte dies ;_; When Jon smiles when he sees her. And their last talk. Oh. God. I've seen the scene 4 times and i've cried 4 times. I just loved the character so much and that last moment with Jon when they talk about the cave. And when she says, "You know nothing Jon Snow." One last time as she dies in his arms.... OH GOD. Gonna go cry now

I was in college when I read this part in the book and I was nearly in tears (and I never cry at things like films and books). I dreaded the moment in the T.V show and it delivered the same reaction as the book did.

Hmm, lemme see, I suppose...

Spoiler:

- The part in the first season of Game of Thrones when Ned is beheaded was a little emotional. It was far more emotional than the Red Wedding.
- When Wash is impaled by an enormous spear in Serenity and dies instantly. I was so shocked that I had no time to be emotional the first time I watched it, but it rips my heart out every time I re-watch it.
- Toy Story 3. The incinerator scene. Even I got a little scared and teary eyed then.

Two scenes come to mind. One is from my childhood, when Artax dies. Like OH MY GOD and the music and the very quiet, still horse and... How could they put this in what was supposedly a children's movie? I was traumatized. This whole movie is very freaky of course, but this scene in particular made me cry like nothing else.

'kay that was a lie. One television scene has caused me to cry even harder, and for days afterwards I couldn't even listen to the song playing after that scene without tears welling up haha. It's, surprise surprise, the ending of season 2 in Doctor Who. It just came so abrupt and felt so wrong. I mean, it wasn't just sad, it was like you were hurting with them and just feeling how unfair and wrong it was- ok I'm starting to rant like a proper whovian and shipper now. Here's the scene, in any case. Heartache on major level for a fan of the show as it was at that time :D
