Sophie's Choice - when she is forced to choose which of her children will live and which will ultimately be killed.

Dances with Wolves - two scenes: 1)when they shot the wolf who befriended the character Costner played and 2) when Dunbar was leaving the tribe and his former adversary Wind in His Hair was yelling his friendship for Dunbar.

Rhapsody in August - one of the most touching films (IMHO, yes I know "horrible reviews") that Kurosawa ever made. The scene always get to me where the grandmother is running into the rain, to search for her husband who was in Nagasaki when it was bombed. This is years after the bombing...she hears thunder and believes it is the bombing, so she goes to search for her husband.

When I was a kid the three movies that brought me to tears were all Disney movies. BAMBI when his Father was killed; DUMBO when he was separated from his Mother; and OLD YELLER.
As an adult I think the Heman Wouk mini series of WINDS OF WAR and WAR AND REMEMBRANCE had some of the most memorable and sad scenes of just about any movies I can remember. In the very last segment of W.And R. where Natalie Jastrow finally realizes that she has been betrayed by the Nazi that she thought was her friend and she realizes what is going to happen to her and her son is beyond comprehension. The thing that really hit me in that scene is that for millions of families in WW2 it was reality.

That.....that scene is by far the worst scene in a movie, other than Bambi (no joke) that I have seen. You have no idea...when I first saw that movie & that part came up....I literally cried so hard I couldn't breathe. I'm glad you mentioned that movie & that scene in particular.

I just finished watching Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father.
Wow. I've never been affected like this by a film.

LOL, I was thinking, good decision. If you go with him it won't last anyway. Fall into love fast fall out of love fast. Maybe I analyse things too much but fidelity is more admirable then a fling. She loved her husband so why leave him for an affair. Then telling her kids when she died what had happened was not smart. I would not want to learn if it happened to my mother, just saying. As you can tell it is not a favorite movie of mine.

This.

Especially when it's based on a true story...
