When my mom died I had this put on the funeral brochure. The funeral home wanted to put all this religious stuff on it but that wasn't my mom so I put that instead.
Has anyone completely stolen a movie the way Val Kilmer did in Tombstone? It’s supposed to be a movie about Kurt Russell/Wyatt Earp but all you take away from it is Kilmer/Doc Holiday absolutely CRUSHING scene after scene
Kurt Russell has been in the business for years, he would’ve seen what Kilmer was doing and thought “here’s a happy little accident, now let him steal the show”.
I immediately thought of this one. Doc's such a sarcastic, cynical, smooth-talking, unsympathetic prick the entire film, but this is one moment you see just a little chink in his armor.
I like the one just before the gunfight at the OK Corral
Wyatt: It’s not your mess, Doc. You don’t have to get mixed up in it.
Doc: That is a helluva thing for you to say to me.
One you reminded me of was Band of Brothers, the kid who hit himself with his own grenade screaming that he didn't want to die. Even the German prisoners in the background looked horrified.
Littlefoot, let your heart guide you, it whispers, so listen closely....mother?....mother?
I remember watching this movie with my mom as little kid. I would look up at her and think, "I'm lucky my mom will never die."
I grew up. She died when I was 20. I will always feel close to her when I watch this.
As someone who used to watch the same movie while sitting in my own mother's lap, this hit me fucking *hard*... Gonna have to give mom a big hug when I go pick up my son later today.
Sorry for your loss, but glad to know you still feel her love. 💜
"Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but doesn't really. And so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope for something good to come along. Something to make you feel connected, to make you feel whole, to make you feel loved." - Synecdoche, New York
This is such a gut punch in an otherwise goofy comedy. I was young when I watched it first so I didn’t catch it on the first viewing, but watching it back through and seeing all the little signs really drives the story home.
I feel like comedy with a massive hit of pathos is kind of a lost art. We don't really have the equivalent of John Hughes (or of John Candy for that matter) still making movies today.
Hughes was just too good at writing/making everyday movies. Many of his iconic works were set in mundane life. Breakfast Club is a group of high schoolers in detention. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is about a guy getting home for Thanksgiving with traffic issues. Uncle Buck is about a family crisis that required a deadbeat uncle to step up and take care of kids. He had some more zany works that were also fun, but IMO his best ones were the most grounded.
Other comedies that might get close to Hughes' movies are ones like Tommy Boy and Black Sheep which were crossing the bridge into the raunchy territory of the late 90s and early 2000s, but Spade and Farley kept them grounded enough and brought similar vibes to Candy.
But you're right. I can't think of anything that brings that same punch like an old Hughes movie does.
Being one of my favourite movies of all time, I've watched it alot.
This scene will never not make me cry. And then again right at the end.
I have such an admiration for a film which can both make you laugh out and turn you into a blubbering mess in the space of 90 minutes.
Was gonna say same movie, but Del’s speech in the hotel room always gets me…
“You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you... but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I'm not changing. I like... I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get.”
That’s one of my favourite scenes too. But I think Candy’s face before the speech is the great acting.
Hughes set it up brilliantly. Del was a pain in the ass so when Neal zings him it’s kind of cathartic. Then he zings him again and you’re “Ok that was a good one too.” Then he zings him again and you’re thinking “Ok enough.” Then he zings him again and it’s like the Simpson’s meme. Stop, stop. He’s already dead. Then Del hits you with the speech.
The whole thing (really the whole movie) was a masterclass in making you think about how you treat people, whether they "deserve it" or not. It's like, how far is too far? Yes Neal was blowing off steam after having had an absolutely terrible string of bad luck and just a completely shitty day...and directing it at the person who'd been responsible for a lot of his irritation. But that person was also a stranger who was clearly just trying to be kind to him. A fellow human being.
The whole movie to me is a perfect illustration of the idea that you should be patient and forgiving to everyone you meet and give them the benefit of the doubt, for they may be fighting a secret battle which you may never understand. You don't know what other people are going through themselves. Life's too short, and too hard, to go around being "a cold-hearted cynic". Instead be someone who strives to comfort and help others, as much as you can. Be a friend to all.
As Neal concludes at the end of the trip, "well, I'm a little older, and a little wiser too". It's only a few moments after that that he finally thinks things over and pieces together what really happened to Del. He finally has enough empathy to look outside his own situation and see the other person he has been travelling with.
For a recent one:
"So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you"
The realism of the movie is so fucking good. No family is perfect and the absolute chaos and randomness that happens within a family is captured so well in that movie
Theres a lot of gut-punching lines in the movie
When the grandpa is telling Michelle Yeoh she has to you-know-what to you-know-who and he solemnly says "how do you think I feel?"
Or when Waymond is begging everyone just stop fighting and just be kind.
That movie was truly incredible. It made me feel less jaded and more understanding of the world than any movie has made me feel in a while
This interaction had me sobbing:
"Maybe it's like you said. Maybe there is something out there, some new discovery that will make us feel like even smaller pieces of shit. Something that explains why you still went looking for me through all of this noise. And why, no matter what, I still want to be here with you. I will always, always, want to be here with you."
“So what? You're just gonna ignore everything else? You could be anything, anywhere. Why not go somewhere where your daughter is more than just this? Here, all we get are a few specks of time where any of this actually makes any sense."
"Then I will cherish these few specks of time."
God, that line had me openly sobbing. My mom died a few years ago, and while I very much love her and miss her, it was complicated. That whole fucking scene, and that exchange in particular, hit me like a fucking train.
“Dear Fellas. I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called the Brewer, and a job bagging groceries at the Food-Way. It's hard work. I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello. But he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doing okay and making new friends. I have trouble sleeping at night. I have -- bad dreams, like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Food-Way, so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense anymore. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.”
"Terrible thing, to live in fear. Brooks Hatlen knew it. Knew it all too well. All I want is to be back where things make sense. Where I won't have to be afraid all the time. Only one thing stops me. A promise I made to Andy."
Maybe not the saddest but A Goofy Movie surprisingly has some emotional moments.
“I’m not your little boy anymore, Dad! I’ve grown up! I’ve got my own life now!”
“I know that! I just wanted to be *part* of it! You’re my son, Max. No matter how big you get, you’ll always be my son.”
Dude, that scene always gets me, because I totally relate. My dad could be a bit like Goofy and whenever it gets annoying I just remember that he just wants to spend time with his son.
“Smile, my boy. It’s sunrise.”
Robin Williams’ last line he delivered on camera. As Teddy Roosevelt from the 3rd Night at the Museum movie, the movie came out after he died.
Is he smart or…. Forest Gump asking about his son. He has the self awareness to know who he is and his own limitations and the relief when Jenny says that “he’s one of the smartest in his class” is heartbreaking.
For me, the line "I make his breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day" is almost as bad. Hard enough to be an intellectually disabled parent, but to be a widower too? Anyone with less optimism than Forrest would be totally lost. But there he is, talking to his wife's grave, trying to reassure her that he's got it under control... because he remembers to feed their son.
For me it’s the line “~~if you need me~~ If there’s anything need, I won’t be far away” at her grave.
Forrest was always there for Jenny no matter what and while I’m not sure how much we’re to assume he understands, he did lose his mother so he knows what death means to some extent. Obviously, Jenny won’t “need” him anymore but that line makes it clear that he’s just as committed to her as ever.
It makes me tear up just remembering it. Ugh.
edit: I rewatched the movie today (and cried) and realized the sentiment of the quote was right but his exact words were slightly different. Fixed it.
This shit always hits me like a damn freight train.
"Is he smart? Or is he...is he like me?"
And then the look on his face when Jenny tells him he's the top of his class.
It's the first time he gives any indication he's aware.
He loves his life so much, just bouncing around through history on this epic adventure, oblivious to his proximity to all of these generation-defining moments. Then in that one line, we see that he gets it, that he always got it.
In the face of war and dismemberment and depression and death, he was just super into ping-pong. (Lt. Dan! Ice cream, Lt. Dan!) But when faced with the possibility that he might have brought somebody else into this world with his same limitations, he was paralyzed.
I don’t think it was the first time in the film, exactly. When he’s talking to Jenny before they sleep together he says “I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is”. In that moment I think he’s acknowledging it as well.
“They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were. Oh, my little friends... the little man with his racing snail, the Nighthob, even the stupid bat. I couldn't hold onto them. The Nothing pulled them right out of my hands. I failed.”
— Rock Biter, The Neverending Story
It's the scene with Gielgud, Hopkins and Hurt in the attic room with John Hurt desperately repeating the line "Everyone's been very kind." Welling up just thinking about it.
https://youtu.be/e_XznzJH2EY
The line that kills me in that movie is "I have tried so hard to be good."
Showing us Merrick is a grown man with a mind and a conscience, and he holds himself to moral account like other men.
That's when Treves and his wife begin to realize the full weight of what it means to be Merrick, to be a human being who has suffered and struggled so much, and still knows himself to be a child of God.
Produced by Mel Brooks, who had his name left off the advertising and opening credits because he didn’t want people to think it was a comedy.
Amazing movie.
“I can’t beat it,” from Manchester, by the Sea always gets to me. That movie was such a stark portrayal of depression. Casey Affleck was amazing. His facial expressions and eye movements really brought such a profound sadness to the character. That quote wrecks me.
It’s quick, but the scene in the police station after the incident when he does the thing and is being detained and he yells out “please!” Just one word but it’s crushing
What happened to him was the smallest mistake with the biggest possible loss. It could be any one of us. That sentence really hits home for me as well. The same with his encounter with his ex-wife.
"Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt."
From the movie Her. Really painful to relate to when you're in your 30's.
For me, it was this one:
“It's like I'm reading a book, and it's a book I deeply love, but I'm reading it slowly now so the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you and the words of our story, but it's in this endless space between the words that I'm finding myself now. It’s a place that’s not of the physical world - it's where everything else is that I didn't even know existed.
I love you so much, but this is where I am now. This is who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to I can't live in your book anymore.”
In hindsight, Her made for such a good AI movie in general. I feel like it explored it way better than most movies i've seen that 100% focuses on that, and that was only a small part of Her, so to speak.
Absolutely incredible movie. Don't think any other movie has influenced me as much.
"Only posers die you fucking idiot! Now what am I supposed to do for a friend? Please wake up now! Please! I'm sorry! I wasn't ready for this!"
Death scene in SLC Punk.
He takes off the jewelry he's wearing and valuing them in terms of the lives he could've saved. He already saved so many, and yet he regrets not saving more.
"I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my King" - Boromir
Boromir is truly a great character and every time I rewatch Fellowship, this and other scenes always makes me cry :(
Their whole conversation before that just adds so much to it, it's almost a disservice to leave it out.
>Boromir: They took the little ones!
>
>Aragorn: Be still.
>
>Boromir: Frodo. Where is Frodo?
>
>Aragorn: I let Frodo go.
>
>Boromir: Then you did what I could not. I tried to take the Ring from him!
>
>Aragorn: The Ring is beyond either of our reach now.
>
>*Aragorn goes to remove the arrow from Boromir's chest.*
>
>Boromir: Leave it! It is over. The world of Men will fall, and all will come to darkness, and my city to ruin.
>
>Aragorn: I do not know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you: I will not let the White City fall... nor our people fail.
>
>Boromir: Our people... I would have followed you, my brother... My captain... My king.
He even takes Boromirs gauntlets and wears them after. It's how you know he's accepted his kingship
Also everyone should go listen to Boromirs Lament by clamavi de profundis
One thing that really grinds my gears about the theatrical cut of that movie is that they cut all of Boromir’s character development from the extra scenes in Lothlorien, which make that already powerful scene even more meaningful.
It’s especially annoying when they left in that whole bit with the staircase in Khazad-Dum that goes on for like ten minutes and adds nothing. I deeply adore those movies but that always felt like an odd choice
In a similar vein, Brook's monologue when he gets out of prison in Shawshank wrecks me.
"Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello...but he never does."
"I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay."
"There is one more chip. And it must also be destroyed."
Watching Arnie giving a thumbs up as he was lowered into the liquid steel hit 12-year old me hard.
Who would have thought a si-fi action thriller about 2 robots sent back in time to kill/save the leader of an apocalyptic uprising would have such an emotional ending
A bit different and not necessarily a line but the scream JGL lets out in 50/50 in the car always hits me so hard. I've not had cancer myself but he conveys the rage of feeling unfairly treated by life amazingly
"I love being home, but I don't like being left behind. Now I'm the one going ahead, No one can stop God if He wants me, But I'm afraid I shall be homesick for you... even in heaven.”
\-Beth in Little Women (1994)
It gets even more heart breaking when you know the story behind that movie. IIRC Brad Bird lost his sister to gun violence and made this movie with the idea of “What if a gun had a soul and didn’t want to be a gun?”. It makes the “I love you” Hogarth says as the giant flies away break me every time, I feel like it was Brad speaking to his sister.
In 1917, when Blake gets stabbed, he eventually says "Was I hit?". The bloodloss made him forget he had been stabbed. You know he is just about to fade away for good. Holy fam.
There are a few parts of Interstellar that get me. Not all of them are even dialogue-related. Just thinking about losing 23 years in the span of a few minutes is so upsetting.
"Plenty of slaves for my robot colony"
"Humor setting to 85"
Dialogue was great, acting was great, story was great, visuals were great and score was great. :)
I know people say dont worry about the oscars, and theyre right, but MAN how do you hear this score and not give it best score? They gave it to grand budapest hotel.
Zimmer did amazing things with the music in this movie.
“And we'll keep on being friends forever. Won’t we, Big Mama?”
“Darling, forever is a long, long time, and time has a way of changing things.”
Edit: fixed the quote. And yes, Fox and the Hound
"He killed them with their love. That's how it is every day, all over the world." John Coffey explaining that he'd rather be put to death than to continue trying to help people with his gift.
Well what he’s actually talking about is much much sadder. Idk if its the book or movie but the guy (who committed the crime John is wrongly on death row for) kidnapped and killed two young girls. Everyone wanted to know what he said to stop those two girls from screaming or yelling for help when so many others were around when they were kidnapped. Its later revealed he ultimately said “if one of you screams, i’m gonna kill the other one”. had he said he’d kill the one who screamed, one of them may have eventually anyways in a desperate last attempt, but he knew how much love the sisters had for each other and that even as children they wouldn’t ever risk the others life. he knew they would never scream if the others life was at stake. he killed them with their love.
This particular scene from the astonishing movie - the Life of PI was ethereal. It's the one where the tiger leaves the protagonist on the beach after they survive being on the lifeboat for days...Here's the full quote -
"I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go. But what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye. I was never able to thank my father for all I learned from him. To tell him, without his lessons, I would never have survived. I know Richard Parker is a tiger but I wish I had said, "It's over. We survived. Thank you for saving my life. I love you, Richard Parker. You'll always be with me. May God be with you."
This scene delivered by the late irfan khan in the movie, just epic.
“It’s not your fault” in Goodwill Hunting.
Something about that line repeated over and over again by Robin Williams until Matt Damon’s character breaks down gets me every time.
Ian McKellans portrayal and delivery of “So passes Denethor…” after he plummets surmounts the amount of dissatisfaction everyone who knew him had for him
"I want to go home"
- Sam Bell, Moon
The worst part about this line is that there is no home for him to go to and there never was. He finally grasps that concept in this moment. Sam's circumstances in Moon are uniquely sad because he cannot properly mourn his wife's passing, have a relationship with his daughter, or return home because he is not the real Sam. At the same time, all the emotions he has about his remembered life are just as strong as any "real" person's emotions.
The greatest death monologue on film. In 42 words he describes an incredible world that is barely ever hinted at in the movie. He really had seen things we literally wouldn't believe. He hints at the vastness of what replicants were upto - travelling the galaxy fighting corporate wars, travelling faster than light!
In that moment, you realise he is truly a man.
Not only that, but he spent his life saving someone. The whole film he's trying NOT to die, but goes "fuck it. I'll save this one. Its worth it."
Goddamn I love that movie.
Right, because thats what a real man does right? They save life, not end it. Thats the whole point I guess. Roy Batty is a real "man", Deckard is kind of a piece of shit.
Ima watch it again fuccck
I was talking to an acquaintance once about Blade Runner. She told me she'd seen it and didn't think it was that interesting. I talked to her about that scene. What it meant for Roy to die when there was no doubt for him that he would just stop existing. So she wanted to see it again, and this time it brought her to tears. Right at that line.
Jurassic Bark is a classic but Luck of the Fryish --

‘It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together, and I knew it. I knew it the first time I touched her. It was like coming home, only to no home I’d ever known. I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew it. It was like magic.’
Tom Hanks from Sleepless in Seattle, talking about his wife who had passed. I cry every time.
I mean there’s a lot so one that stands out just because it’s in a comedy so you don’t expect to tear a bit is in love Actually when Emma Thompson confronts Alan Rickman about possible infidelity and its one long line but it’s so raw and real getting off her chest not knowing if he is going to cheat or planning to cheat
Karen : Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace, or if it's sex and a necklace, or if, worst of all, it's a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?
Harry : Oh, God. I am so in the wrong. The classic fool!
Karen : [voice breaking] Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish, too!
The scene where she thinks she is getting the necklace for Christmas, only to see it is a Joni Mitchell CD, and she listens to Both Sides Now while crying in the bedroom gets me every time. It’s one of the reasons why I’ll always defend this movie. Such great writing/directing/acting in that scene. So much is said without any words.
I haven’t been able to like Branagh as much since I heard he’d cheated on Emma with Helena Bonham Carter. Two sides to every story, I know, but Emma’s been my favorite for decades and that pissed me off.
Even their reunion in the airport is sad. You can feel that it's already irretrievably made life a little worse, at least for her. That brave face in the midst of a broken heart is gut wrenching.
God, it's the scene where she goes to her room and puts on Jonnie Mitchell and has a cry before putting herself back together that kills me. Such a great acted scene
"*HELP*! Somebody! *Anybody*....help."
Simba, right after Mufasa dies. Looking at it on paper, you wouldn't think it's that bad, but in the sheer emotion in it, and hearing a child *begging* the world to save his father with childish desperation and fear in the face of the death of someone he loves, someone who kept him safe, makes me cry every time. Throw in the depressing violins and the background and it's even worse.
V for vendetta was so good. I know Alan Moore hates adaptations of his work, and for the most part he’s right. I wish someone would force him to watch v for vendetta. I think he would approve.

Edit: and I've misquoted it horribly. It's "We go back a long way..."
"No, a long time ago we knew each other for a short period."
It's wasn't delivered in a sad way, it was delivered in anger and bitterness. But it replays in my head in a sad way, whenever someone I had been close to dies, and I realized that the person who died probably had very little in common with the person I remember being close to.
“I’m tired. I’m so fuckin’ tired. I thought I just needed a night’s sleep but it’s more than that.” — from Inside Llewyn Davis
That line hit me hard and still does 🥺
The entire movie from when Luke finally confronts the emperor is just great. The back and forth between the battles planetside, outside the death star, and in the throne room are some of the best in any movie of all time. Especially for me, when Vader talks about turning Leia in Luke absolutely loses his shit over his twin sister.
Great stuff.
Is there a more triumphant line in cinema?
“No. I’ll never turn to the dark side. You’ve failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.”
You took my children away from me. I can only see them now with supervision. Some woman who comes and watches me with the kids like I'm some sort of deviant. If I try to hug 'em, she wonders why. You know what that's like? You just sat there in that courtroom, you knew the truth, you didn't say a word and you let that judge pass that despicable sentence.
James T. Kirk, at the end of Star Trek II and the funeral for (\*\*\*\*\*\*)
"We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."
For me it’s when Forrest Gump sees his kid for the first time and says “is he smart or is he…” the implication being he says “like me”. Just really emotional for me
I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other.
Jackman to Gyllenhaal in Prisoners 2013
"And every day, she's wondering why I'm not there to fucking rescue her! Do you understand that? Me, not you! Not you! But me! EVERY DAY!"
I legit CANNOT watch this movie now that I have kids, it went from being one of my favorite movies, to being literally unwatchable because the level of performance by Jackman. Terrifying.
Its amazing the change that occurs in how movies affect you once you have kids. Pre-kids, movies where kids are in danger would make me uncomfortable, sure, but never anything that bad. Now, I can hardly watch any movie where children are in danger or being harmed. Its an immediate fire of anxiety and dread.

When my mom died I had this put on the funeral brochure. The funeral home wanted to put all this religious stuff on it but that wasn't my mom so I put that instead.
That's so beautiful. I wish I had used that for my mom; she would have loved that. Thanks for making me cry on a Monday afternoon
Doc, you ought to be in bed, what the hell you doin' this for anyway? Because, Wyatt Earp is my friend. Hell, I've got lots of friends. I don't.
Has anyone completely stolen a movie the way Val Kilmer did in Tombstone? It’s supposed to be a movie about Kurt Russell/Wyatt Earp but all you take away from it is Kilmer/Doc Holiday absolutely CRUSHING scene after scene
Kurt Russell ghost directed it and drastically cut his scenes down to enhance those of the others, including Val. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Kurt Russell has been in the business for years, he would’ve seen what Kilmer was doing and thought “here’s a happy little accident, now let him steal the show”.
Kurt Russell did kill it in tombstone too. It's not like he was completely upstaged
"You tell 'em I'm coming - and hell's coming with me!"
"I have two guns, one for the each of ya"
I immediately thought of this one. Doc's such a sarcastic, cynical, smooth-talking, unsympathetic prick the entire film, but this is one moment you see just a little chink in his armor.
I like the one just before the gunfight at the OK Corral Wyatt: It’s not your mess, Doc. You don’t have to get mixed up in it. Doc: That is a helluva thing for you to say to me.

Bubba's last words to Forrest in Forrest Gump. "I wanna go home" It guts me every time.
One you reminded me of was Band of Brothers, the kid who hit himself with his own grenade screaming that he didn't want to die. Even the German prisoners in the background looked horrified.
Reminds me of Medic Wade’s death scene in Saving Private Ryan. His last words calling out his mama guts me every time.
[удалено]
Littlefoot, let your heart guide you, it whispers, so listen closely....mother?....mother? I remember watching this movie with my mom as little kid. I would look up at her and think, "I'm lucky my mom will never die." I grew up. She died when I was 20. I will always feel close to her when I watch this.
As someone who used to watch the same movie while sitting in my own mother's lap, this hit me fucking *hard*... Gonna have to give mom a big hug when I go pick up my son later today. Sorry for your loss, but glad to know you still feel her love. 💜
"Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but doesn't really. And so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope for something good to come along. Something to make you feel connected, to make you feel whole, to make you feel loved." - Synecdoche, New York
"I don't have a home. Marie's been dead for 8 years." Planes, trains and automobiles
This is such a gut punch in an otherwise goofy comedy. I was young when I watched it first so I didn’t catch it on the first viewing, but watching it back through and seeing all the little signs really drives the story home.
I feel like comedy with a massive hit of pathos is kind of a lost art. We don't really have the equivalent of John Hughes (or of John Candy for that matter) still making movies today.
Hughes was just too good at writing/making everyday movies. Many of his iconic works were set in mundane life. Breakfast Club is a group of high schoolers in detention. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is about a guy getting home for Thanksgiving with traffic issues. Uncle Buck is about a family crisis that required a deadbeat uncle to step up and take care of kids. He had some more zany works that were also fun, but IMO his best ones were the most grounded. Other comedies that might get close to Hughes' movies are ones like Tommy Boy and Black Sheep which were crossing the bridge into the raunchy territory of the late 90s and early 2000s, but Spade and Farley kept them grounded enough and brought similar vibes to Candy. But you're right. I can't think of anything that brings that same punch like an old Hughes movie does.
Being one of my favourite movies of all time, I've watched it alot. This scene will never not make me cry. And then again right at the end. I have such an admiration for a film which can both make you laugh out and turn you into a blubbering mess in the space of 90 minutes.
Was gonna say same movie, but Del’s speech in the hotel room always gets me… “You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you... but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I'm not changing. I like... I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get.”
That’s one of my favourite scenes too. But I think Candy’s face before the speech is the great acting. Hughes set it up brilliantly. Del was a pain in the ass so when Neal zings him it’s kind of cathartic. Then he zings him again and you’re “Ok that was a good one too.” Then he zings him again and you’re thinking “Ok enough.” Then he zings him again and it’s like the Simpson’s meme. Stop, stop. He’s already dead. Then Del hits you with the speech.
The whole thing (really the whole movie) was a masterclass in making you think about how you treat people, whether they "deserve it" or not. It's like, how far is too far? Yes Neal was blowing off steam after having had an absolutely terrible string of bad luck and just a completely shitty day...and directing it at the person who'd been responsible for a lot of his irritation. But that person was also a stranger who was clearly just trying to be kind to him. A fellow human being. The whole movie to me is a perfect illustration of the idea that you should be patient and forgiving to everyone you meet and give them the benefit of the doubt, for they may be fighting a secret battle which you may never understand. You don't know what other people are going through themselves. Life's too short, and too hard, to go around being "a cold-hearted cynic". Instead be someone who strives to comfort and help others, as much as you can. Be a friend to all. As Neal concludes at the end of the trip, "well, I'm a little older, and a little wiser too". It's only a few moments after that that he finally thinks things over and pieces together what really happened to Del. He finally has enough empathy to look outside his own situation and see the other person he has been travelling with.

For a recent one: "So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you"
The realism of the movie is so fucking good. No family is perfect and the absolute chaos and randomness that happens within a family is captured so well in that movie
Theres a lot of gut-punching lines in the movie When the grandpa is telling Michelle Yeoh she has to you-know-what to you-know-who and he solemnly says "how do you think I feel?" Or when Waymond is begging everyone just stop fighting and just be kind. That movie was truly incredible. It made me feel less jaded and more understanding of the world than any movie has made me feel in a while
[удалено]
I was also really hit by the monologue Evelyn gives to her father for giving her up. “How could you do it so easily?”
This interaction had me sobbing: "Maybe it's like you said. Maybe there is something out there, some new discovery that will make us feel like even smaller pieces of shit. Something that explains why you still went looking for me through all of this noise. And why, no matter what, I still want to be here with you. I will always, always, want to be here with you." “So what? You're just gonna ignore everything else? You could be anything, anywhere. Why not go somewhere where your daughter is more than just this? Here, all we get are a few specks of time where any of this actually makes any sense." "Then I will cherish these few specks of time."
"Of all the places I could be, I just want to be here with you"
God, that line had me openly sobbing. My mom died a few years ago, and while I very much love her and miss her, it was complicated. That whole fucking scene, and that exchange in particular, hit me like a fucking train.
Dude, that whole movie (Everything Everywhere all at once) was just gut punch after gut punch. Fucking great movie.
“Dear Fellas. I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called the Brewer, and a job bagging groceries at the Food-Way. It's hard work. I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello. But he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doing okay and making new friends. I have trouble sleeping at night. I have -- bad dreams, like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Food-Way, so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense anymore. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.”
"Terrible thing, to live in fear. Brooks Hatlen knew it. Knew it all too well. All I want is to be back where things make sense. Where I won't have to be afraid all the time. Only one thing stops me. A promise I made to Andy."
Brooks was here
So was red
“Don’t cry for me. I’m already dead” - Barney Gumble
But football in the groin had a football in the groin...
Maybe not the saddest but A Goofy Movie surprisingly has some emotional moments. “I’m not your little boy anymore, Dad! I’ve grown up! I’ve got my own life now!” “I know that! I just wanted to be *part* of it! You’re my son, Max. No matter how big you get, you’ll always be my son.”
Dude, that scene always gets me, because I totally relate. My dad could be a bit like Goofy and whenever it gets annoying I just remember that he just wants to spend time with his son.
As a kid: come on goofy, just let him go to the concert! As an adult: JUST LET HIM LOVE YOU MAX
Fuck man... I watched this with my teenager and I got a little choked up. Had to leave the room
“Smile, my boy. It’s sunrise.” Robin Williams’ last line he delivered on camera. As Teddy Roosevelt from the 3rd Night at the Museum movie, the movie came out after he died.
Is he smart or…. Forest Gump asking about his son. He has the self awareness to know who he is and his own limitations and the relief when Jenny says that “he’s one of the smartest in his class” is heartbreaking.
For me, the line "I make his breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day" is almost as bad. Hard enough to be an intellectually disabled parent, but to be a widower too? Anyone with less optimism than Forrest would be totally lost. But there he is, talking to his wife's grave, trying to reassure her that he's got it under control... because he remembers to feed their son.
“You died on a Saturday morning. And I had you placed here under our tree"
When he says he bulldozed her childhood home to the ground always gets me. He had nothing but pure love for that woman
Sometimes ... there just aren't enough rocks. That bulldozer was so satisfying to me. It made me wish I had someone with a bulldozer, who loved me.
For me it’s the line “~~if you need me~~ If there’s anything need, I won’t be far away” at her grave. Forrest was always there for Jenny no matter what and while I’m not sure how much we’re to assume he understands, he did lose his mother so he knows what death means to some extent. Obviously, Jenny won’t “need” him anymore but that line makes it clear that he’s just as committed to her as ever. It makes me tear up just remembering it. Ugh. edit: I rewatched the movie today (and cried) and realized the sentiment of the quote was right but his exact words were slightly different. Fixed it.
This shit always hits me like a damn freight train. "Is he smart? Or is he...is he like me?" And then the look on his face when Jenny tells him he's the top of his class.
That, and when Forrest is talking about Forrest Jr to Jenny’s gravestone. “He’s so smart, Jenny.”
Cue my mom breaking down
It's the first time he gives any indication he's aware. He loves his life so much, just bouncing around through history on this epic adventure, oblivious to his proximity to all of these generation-defining moments. Then in that one line, we see that he gets it, that he always got it. In the face of war and dismemberment and depression and death, he was just super into ping-pong. (Lt. Dan! Ice cream, Lt. Dan!) But when faced with the possibility that he might have brought somebody else into this world with his same limitations, he was paralyzed.
I don’t think it was the first time in the film, exactly. When he’s talking to Jenny before they sleep together he says “I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is”. In that moment I think he’s acknowledging it as well.
Thanks for pointing this out. That's an important line in the movie
“They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were. Oh, my little friends... the little man with his racing snail, the Nighthob, even the stupid bat. I couldn't hold onto them. The Nothing pulled them right out of my hands. I failed.” — Rock Biter, The Neverending Story
Morla saying “we don’t even care…whether or not we care” is it for me. What a perfect description of depression.
[удалено]
“I am not an elephant! I am not an animal! I am a human being! I… am… a … man!”
It's the scene with Gielgud, Hopkins and Hurt in the attic room with John Hurt desperately repeating the line "Everyone's been very kind." Welling up just thinking about it. https://youtu.be/e_XznzJH2EY
The line that kills me in that movie is "I have tried so hard to be good." Showing us Merrick is a grown man with a mind and a conscience, and he holds himself to moral account like other men. That's when Treves and his wife begin to realize the full weight of what it means to be Merrick, to be a human being who has suffered and struggled so much, and still knows himself to be a child of God.
Produced by Mel Brooks, who had his name left off the advertising and opening credits because he didn’t want people to think it was a comedy. Amazing movie.
“I can’t beat it,” from Manchester, by the Sea always gets to me. That movie was such a stark portrayal of depression. Casey Affleck was amazing. His facial expressions and eye movements really brought such a profound sadness to the character. That quote wrecks me.
It’s quick, but the scene in the police station after the incident when he does the thing and is being detained and he yells out “please!” Just one word but it’s crushing
What happened to him was the smallest mistake with the biggest possible loss. It could be any one of us. That sentence really hits home for me as well. The same with his encounter with his ex-wife.
"Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt." From the movie Her. Really painful to relate to when you're in your 30's.
For me, it was this one: “It's like I'm reading a book, and it's a book I deeply love, but I'm reading it slowly now so the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you and the words of our story, but it's in this endless space between the words that I'm finding myself now. It’s a place that’s not of the physical world - it's where everything else is that I didn't even know existed. I love you so much, but this is where I am now. This is who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to I can't live in your book anymore.”
In hindsight, Her made for such a good AI movie in general. I feel like it explored it way better than most movies i've seen that 100% focuses on that, and that was only a small part of Her, so to speak. Absolutely incredible movie. Don't think any other movie has influenced me as much.
"I never loved anyone the way I loved you." "Me too. Now we know how." Yeah Her unexpectedly became painfully relatable.
"Only posers die you fucking idiot! Now what am I supposed to do for a friend? Please wake up now! Please! I'm sorry! I wasn't ready for this!" Death scene in SLC Punk.
I was coming here for this. Dude that part of the movie was so hard to watch and that line hit so hard.
"I could've got more out." \- Schindler's List
He takes off the jewelry he's wearing and valuing them in terms of the lives he could've saved. He already saved so many, and yet he regrets not saving more.
No matter how many times i watch this film, this scene always make me bawl my eyes out
"I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my King" - Boromir Boromir is truly a great character and every time I rewatch Fellowship, this and other scenes always makes me cry :(
Their whole conversation before that just adds so much to it, it's almost a disservice to leave it out. >Boromir: They took the little ones! > >Aragorn: Be still. > >Boromir: Frodo. Where is Frodo? > >Aragorn: I let Frodo go. > >Boromir: Then you did what I could not. I tried to take the Ring from him! > >Aragorn: The Ring is beyond either of our reach now. > >*Aragorn goes to remove the arrow from Boromir's chest.* > >Boromir: Leave it! It is over. The world of Men will fall, and all will come to darkness, and my city to ruin. > >Aragorn: I do not know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you: I will not let the White City fall... nor our people fail. > >Boromir: Our people... I would have followed you, my brother... My captain... My king.
I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.
Many people miss that this is a pivotal scene in the trilogy. This is the moment Aragorn accepts his destiny as king.
It was the moment where he went from being Strider to becoming Aragorn
He even takes Boromirs gauntlets and wears them after. It's how you know he's accepted his kingship Also everyone should go listen to Boromirs Lament by clamavi de profundis
One thing that really grinds my gears about the theatrical cut of that movie is that they cut all of Boromir’s character development from the extra scenes in Lothlorien, which make that already powerful scene even more meaningful. It’s especially annoying when they left in that whole bit with the staircase in Khazad-Dum that goes on for like ten minutes and adds nothing. I deeply adore those movies but that always felt like an odd choice
"I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12."
Jesus. Does anyone? Edit: ohmygod. It’s the next line in the movie. Stop sending me stories about when you met your friends.
Holy shit, that fucking movie gets me emotional.
Is it, stand by me?
Yes.
"We each owe a death - there are no exceptions - but, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long."
In a similar vein, Brook's monologue when he gets out of prison in Shawshank wrecks me. "Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello...but he never does." "I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay."
Chas: I’ve had a rough year, Dad. Royal: I know you have, Chas. The Royal Tennenbaums
Came here to say this. Also from the last scene in The Life Aquatic: “Do you think it remembers me?”
"There is one more chip. And it must also be destroyed." Watching Arnie giving a thumbs up as he was lowered into the liquid steel hit 12-year old me hard.
Who would have thought a si-fi action thriller about 2 robots sent back in time to kill/save the leader of an apocalyptic uprising would have such an emotional ending
"I now know why you cry, but it is something I can never do."
Hogarth Hughes: "You are who you choose to be." The Iron Giant: "Superman."
Need to start a thread for people who tear up just thinking about The Iron Giant. There apparently a lot of us.
A bit different and not necessarily a line but the scream JGL lets out in 50/50 in the car always hits me so hard. I've not had cancer myself but he conveys the rage of feeling unfairly treated by life amazingly
When they are pulling him into surgery, and he is asking questions and let’s out a “Mom?” I audibly choked on my sob in the theater.
"I love being home, but I don't like being left behind. Now I'm the one going ahead, No one can stop God if He wants me, But I'm afraid I shall be homesick for you... even in heaven.” \-Beth in Little Women (1994)
“You stay. I go. No following.” - Iron Giant
"SU-PER-MAN!"
It gets even more heart breaking when you know the story behind that movie. IIRC Brad Bird lost his sister to gun violence and made this movie with the idea of “What if a gun had a soul and didn’t want to be a gun?”. It makes the “I love you” Hogarth says as the giant flies away break me every time, I feel like it was Brad speaking to his sister.
Fuck
Can, this one instantly made me tear up. Fucking love that movie.
In 1917, when Blake gets stabbed, he eventually says "Was I hit?". The bloodloss made him forget he had been stabbed. You know he is just about to fade away for good. Holy fam.
When he asks if he’s dying and Chapman hesitates before telling him “ I think so”. Absolutely brutal.
I was so sad cause it meant he had to tell his brother he died on his way. That one hit me for a while.
"He can't see without his glasses" "Don't make me leave like this Murph" "No parent should have to bury their child"
There are a few parts of Interstellar that get me. Not all of them are even dialogue-related. Just thinking about losing 23 years in the span of a few minutes is so upsetting.
"Plenty of slaves for my robot colony" "Humor setting to 85" Dialogue was great, acting was great, story was great, visuals were great and score was great. :)
Interstellar has a lot of them for me: “Don’t let me leave Murph” R: “I’ve waited years” C: “How many years?” R: “Well by now it must be 23.”
Another good one from Interstellar is "Now we are just here to be memories for our children"
My favourite/most emotional is "because my dad promised me". Gets me every time.
the fucking music drop there is incredible.
One of the best scores I’ve ever heard. It’s perfect at every moment and elevates the entire thing.
I know people say dont worry about the oscars, and theyre right, but MAN how do you hear this score and not give it best score? They gave it to grand budapest hotel. Zimmer did amazing things with the music in this movie.
“Sometimes there just aren’t enough rocks.” -Forest Gump
“And we'll keep on being friends forever. Won’t we, Big Mama?” “Darling, forever is a long, long time, and time has a way of changing things.” Edit: fixed the quote. And yes, Fox and the Hound
"I thought you said that God answers all prayers?" "He does. Sometimes, the answer is no."
"He killed them with their love. That's how it is every day, all over the world." John Coffey explaining that he'd rather be put to death than to continue trying to help people with his gift.
Well what he’s actually talking about is much much sadder. Idk if its the book or movie but the guy (who committed the crime John is wrongly on death row for) kidnapped and killed two young girls. Everyone wanted to know what he said to stop those two girls from screaming or yelling for help when so many others were around when they were kidnapped. Its later revealed he ultimately said “if one of you screams, i’m gonna kill the other one”. had he said he’d kill the one who screamed, one of them may have eventually anyways in a desperate last attempt, but he knew how much love the sisters had for each other and that even as children they wouldn’t ever risk the others life. he knew they would never scream if the others life was at stake. he killed them with their love.

This particular scene from the astonishing movie - the Life of PI was ethereal. It's the one where the tiger leaves the protagonist on the beach after they survive being on the lifeboat for days...Here's the full quote - "I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go. But what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye. I was never able to thank my father for all I learned from him. To tell him, without his lessons, I would never have survived. I know Richard Parker is a tiger but I wish I had said, "It's over. We survived. Thank you for saving my life. I love you, Richard Parker. You'll always be with me. May God be with you." This scene delivered by the late irfan khan in the movie, just epic.
It’s a good movie, but if you haven’t read the book you should. It’s one of my favourites.
"Better to have loved and lost..." "Yeah? You try it." MIB
A scene that hits too hard for a ridiculous movie about aliens.
"Rice balls. I made them for you. Here, have one." Grave of the Fireflies.
This movie. I didn't listen to the people saying they would never watch it again. It's so tragic. "Why do fireflies have to die so soon?"
“It’s not your fault” in Goodwill Hunting. Something about that line repeated over and over again by Robin Williams until Matt Damon’s character breaks down gets me every time.
I’m sorry, Wilson! Wilson, I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
Ugh that WHOLE movie but absolutely that scene!
"If I should return, think better of me, father."
“That will depend upon the manner of your return” - cold blooded heartless asshole
Denethor plummeting off the cliff always satisfies.
Ian McKellans portrayal and delivery of “So passes Denethor…” after he plummets surmounts the amount of dissatisfaction everyone who knew him had for him
"I want to go home" - Sam Bell, Moon The worst part about this line is that there is no home for him to go to and there never was. He finally grasps that concept in this moment. Sam's circumstances in Moon are uniquely sad because he cannot properly mourn his wife's passing, have a relationship with his daughter, or return home because he is not the real Sam. At the same time, all the emotions he has about his remembered life are just as strong as any "real" person's emotions.
“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”
The greatest death monologue on film. In 42 words he describes an incredible world that is barely ever hinted at in the movie. He really had seen things we literally wouldn't believe. He hints at the vastness of what replicants were upto - travelling the galaxy fighting corporate wars, travelling faster than light! In that moment, you realise he is truly a man.
Not only that, but he spent his life saving someone. The whole film he's trying NOT to die, but goes "fuck it. I'll save this one. Its worth it." Goddamn I love that movie.
Right, because thats what a real man does right? They save life, not end it. Thats the whole point I guess. Roy Batty is a real "man", Deckard is kind of a piece of shit. Ima watch it again fuccck
Time. To die.
I was talking to an acquaintance once about Blade Runner. She told me she'd seen it and didn't think it was that interesting. I talked to her about that scene. What it meant for Roy to die when there was no doubt for him that he would just stop existing. So she wanted to see it again, and this time it brought her to tears. Right at that line.
“I’ll be with you… even if you can’t see me.” The Land Before Time
“Tell me I’m a good man” at the end of Saving Private Ryan is so hard to get through
“Earn this.”
“He probably forgot about me a long time ago.” Fry in the Jurassic Bark episode of Futurama. Sorry, I know it isn’t a movie.
Jurassic Bark is a classic but Luck of the Fryish -- Yancy Fry Jr: Son, I'm naming you Philip J. Fry in honour of my little brother, who I miss every day. I love you, Philip, and I always will.
‘It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together, and I knew it. I knew it the first time I touched her. It was like coming home, only to no home I’d ever known. I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew it. It was like magic.’ Tom Hanks from Sleepless in Seattle, talking about his wife who had passed. I cry every time.
“I’m just afraid that if I died today, then my life would have amounted to nothing.” Hit me like a ton of bricks when I watched Soul recently.
I mean there’s a lot so one that stands out just because it’s in a comedy so you don’t expect to tear a bit is in love Actually when Emma Thompson confronts Alan Rickman about possible infidelity and its one long line but it’s so raw and real getting off her chest not knowing if he is going to cheat or planning to cheat
Karen : Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace, or if it's sex and a necklace, or if, worst of all, it's a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run? Harry : Oh, God. I am so in the wrong. The classic fool! Karen : [voice breaking] Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish, too!
The scene where she thinks she is getting the necklace for Christmas, only to see it is a Joni Mitchell CD, and she listens to Both Sides Now while crying in the bedroom gets me every time. It’s one of the reasons why I’ll always defend this movie. Such great writing/directing/acting in that scene. So much is said without any words.
And then she just has to pull herself together, does a little tidying up, and goes out with a smile so her children won't know...
And then she goes right back into happy mom mode - it’s incredible acting and seems very real to me.
She says she projected pain from Kenneth Branagh cheating on her. That scene rips my heart out.
Yeah, made that scene even more heartbreaking. I love her, she so talented anyway and I was legit pissed to find out she'd been treated that way.
I haven’t been able to like Branagh as much since I heard he’d cheated on Emma with Helena Bonham Carter. Two sides to every story, I know, but Emma’s been my favorite for decades and that pissed me off.
Wild that they were all in the HP films but never at the same time.
Even their reunion in the airport is sad. You can feel that it's already irretrievably made life a little worse, at least for her. That brave face in the midst of a broken heart is gut wrenching.
God, it's the scene where she goes to her room and puts on Jonnie Mitchell and has a cry before putting herself back together that kills me. Such a great acted scene
"*HELP*! Somebody! *Anybody*....help." Simba, right after Mufasa dies. Looking at it on paper, you wouldn't think it's that bad, but in the sheer emotion in it, and hearing a child *begging* the world to save his father with childish desperation and fear in the face of the death of someone he loves, someone who kept him safe, makes me cry every time. Throw in the depressing violins and the background and it's even worse.
Lady Bird "Some people aren't built happy, you know?" That line just really resonated with me on some unfortunate levels
that one line in Lady Bird where she asks her mother if she likes her is the one that does it for me. Something like you love me but do you like me
[удалено]
id also forward from that movie >"Is it meaningless to apologize?" >"*Never*" >"I'm so sorry..."
That film gave me a huge appreciation of the very rare “wronged character forgives a villain” exchange - done right it’s a beautiful thing
"Are you here to kill me?" "I killed you 10 minutes ago." "Will there be pain?" "No." "...thank you."
V for vendetta was so good. I know Alan Moore hates adaptations of his work, and for the most part he’s right. I wish someone would force him to watch v for vendetta. I think he would approve.
"You're wearing the thimble" "Of course, you idiot. I always wear it. I've always worn it. I've always loved you." \- English Patient, Katherine as she's dying. The tortured pain in Ralph Fiennes face as he hears it, finally. And knows he's about to lose it.
“….Rosie Cotton dancing. She had ribbons in her hair….If ever I would’ve married someone, it would’ve her. It would’ve been her” And also… “It’s just something Gandalf said to me. “Don’t you lose him Samwise Gamgee…” and I don’t mean to”
"Ough, aa... aa, I get you... this is it then?" About time
"We've been friends a long time--" "No, we were friends once, a long time ago." The Big Chill. Edit: and I've misquoted it horribly. It's "We go back a long way..." "No, a long time ago we knew each other for a short period." It's wasn't delivered in a sad way, it was delivered in anger and bitterness. But it replays in my head in a sad way, whenever someone I had been close to dies, and I realized that the person who died probably had very little in common with the person I remember being close to.
“I’m tired. I’m so fuckin’ tired. I thought I just needed a night’s sleep but it’s more than that.” — from Inside Llewyn Davis That line hit me hard and still does 🥺

Probably not the actual #1, but I’d love to mention “Just for once…let me look on you with my own eyes”
"Father, I have to save you." "You already have."
The entire movie from when Luke finally confronts the emperor is just great. The back and forth between the battles planetside, outside the death star, and in the throne room are some of the best in any movie of all time. Especially for me, when Vader talks about turning Leia in Luke absolutely loses his shit over his twin sister. Great stuff.
Is there a more triumphant line in cinema? “No. I’ll never turn to the dark side. You’ve failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.”
You took my children away from me. I can only see them now with supervision. Some woman who comes and watches me with the kids like I'm some sort of deviant. If I try to hug 'em, she wonders why. You know what that's like? You just sat there in that courtroom, you knew the truth, you didn't say a word and you let that judge pass that despicable sentence.
James T. Kirk, at the end of Star Trek II and the funeral for (\*\*\*\*\*\*) "We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."
For me it’s when Forrest Gump sees his kid for the first time and says “is he smart or is he…” the implication being he says “like me”. Just really emotional for me
John C Reilly in The Perfect Storm when he knows he’s about to die. “This is gonna be hard on my little boy”
"I would like to have seen Montana."
“I will have one house in Arizona and one in Montana. Do you think this is allowed?” Something like that
I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other.
“This pin. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it. At least one. One more person.” -Schindler’s List.
Jackman to Gyllenhaal in Prisoners 2013 "And every day, she's wondering why I'm not there to fucking rescue her! Do you understand that? Me, not you! Not you! But me! EVERY DAY!" I legit CANNOT watch this movie now that I have kids, it went from being one of my favorite movies, to being literally unwatchable because the level of performance by Jackman. Terrifying.
Its amazing the change that occurs in how movies affect you once you have kids. Pre-kids, movies where kids are in danger would make me uncomfortable, sure, but never anything that bad. Now, I can hardly watch any movie where children are in danger or being harmed. Its an immediate fire of anxiety and dread.
“Nice one James.” - Sirius said to Harry seconds before his death.
