Tear Jerker / Film C to G

• Calendar Girls generally keeps an upbeat tone, despite one of the main characters having to deal with the death of her husband. Then, near the ending, comes this line.
  Annie: I'd rob every penny from this calendar if it would buy me just one more hour with him.
• The short film Cargo (can be watched here) combines Zombie Infectee and Motivation on a Stick for one hell of an effect.
• Quite a lot of moments in Casper can definitely qualify here, but particularly when Kat falls asleep:
  Casper: Kat?
  Kat: Mm-hm?
  Casper: Can I keep you?
  Kat: Mm-hm.
  Casper: -kisses Kat's cheek-
  Kat: Casper? Close the window. It's cold.
  • Casper then curls up at the bottom of Kat's bed and falls asleep too.
  • When Kat finds out about Casper's backstory and how his Mad Scientist dad went nuts trying to revive him , and again when Casper becomes a real boy for some hours because he chose to revive Kat's dad rather than himself. Bonus points for the appearace of Kat's Missing Mom's soul.
• In-Universe in Japanese mystery film Castle of Sand. As the detective explains to his coworkers the sad story of Eiryo Waga—abandoned by his father, becoming a wandering beggar along with his leprous father, separated from his father by a well-meaning policeman, only to reject the policeman's attempts to be a father figure as well as rejecting his real and gravely ill father—the detective breaks down and starts to cry.
• Chariots of Fire is a slow build, beginning with the opening credit scene on the beach and Vangelis' score, but culminates in the scene where Sam Mussabini, barred from the Olympic stadium, only learns that Abrahams has won the 100m when he sees the British flag rise over the stadium from his dingy hotel room. *Hat punch!*
• The documentary Children Full of Life, about a Tokyo school teacher whose two priorities are "everyone should be happy" and that his students learn empathy because he fears "people respect life less and less every day".
  • Part one A boy's grandmother recently passed away, and his "notebook letter" encourages another girl to talk about her deceased father.
  • Part two A bullying incident (which the teacher cannot abide) prompts another girl to talk about being the target of bullies.
  • Part three The kids are building rafts, and when one of them gets in trouble for being too noisy his friend sticks up for him even though he is terrified of standing up to authority.
  • Part four A boy's father passes away suddenly, and the students, remembering their classmate's experience in losing her father, write letters of condolence and encouragement.
  • Part five In the last days of the school year (and anticipating going to separate classes when they return for the next grade), the kids use their schoolyard to write a giant letter to their classmates' fathers in heaven, telling them that their children are going to be okay because their friends are with them.
• The expression on the Tramp's face, at the end of Chaplin's City Lights.
• The first few lines in City of Angels, between Seth and the little girl, especially the "Someday she'll understand" part.
  Susie:' Are you God?
  Seth: No. My name is Seth.
  Susie: Where are we going?
  Seth: Home.
  Susie: Can Mommy come?
  Seth: No.
  Susie: She won't understand.
  Seth: She will...someday.
  • Maggie storms out on Seth, leaving him looking as shattered as a seemingly emotionless angel can. This is sad enough as is...and then they start playing "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan, with Maggie getting into her bed, asking the invisible Seth, "Let me see you...just stay...just stay until I fall asleep."
• The Chinese film CJ7: Near the end, when Dicky and his father Chow's lives finally begin to take a turn for the better, Chow is killed in a construction accident, prompting Dicky's alien pet, CJ7, to try and revive him over and over again. Finally, Chow appears at his house, unaware of what has happened and he and Dicky find out CJ7 sacrificed all of its energy to revive Chow. As they attempt to save its life, CJ7 gives Dicky one final message: Continue with your school work.
• A Clockwork Orange has one scene where Alex is beaten up by two of his old friends.
• Cocoon: When the old geezer who was against that fountain of youth the whole time takes his just deceased wife into the pool, but the power of the pool is gone.
• The Color Purple (1985)'s last act in general is both heartrending and heartwarming.
• The Constant Gardener. Dear God, where to begin? Perhaps the Lost Love Montage where Justin remembers falling in love with Tessa while sitting alone in her garden, crying.
  • Poor old Tim Donohue trying to dissuade Justin from unearthing the conspiracy behind Tessa's death and the other related death; when Justin naturally refuses, Tim sadly remarks "We'll both be dead by Christmas. Mine's Cancer... my pain is controllable..."
  • The aftermath of the bandit attack on the village.
  • Ham's bitter speech at Justin's funeral, which also crosses over with his Moment of Awesome.
  So who has got away with murder? Not, of course, the British government. They merely covered up, as one does, the offensive corpses- though not literally; that was done by person or persons unknown. So who has committed murder? Not, of course, the highly respectable firm of KDH Pharmaceutical, which has enjoyed record profits this quarter, and has now licensed Zimba Med of Harare to continue testing Dypraxa in Africa. No, there are no murders in Africa. Only regrettable deaths. And from those deaths we derive the benefits of civilization, benefits we can afford so easily... because those lives were bought so cheaply.
• Crossing, a film about North Korean refugees. Its depiction of how people live in that country actually managed to get a theater crying. It definitely succeeds in portraying Kim Jong-il as an Always Chaotic Evil Overlord with 0% Approval Rating...
• The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was full of them toward the end. For instance, Daisy came back to the nursing home, and saw Benjamin at the piano. She said, "I'm Daisy," and he said, "I'm Benjamin".
  • The first ten minutes of the movie (i.e., the Gateau anecdote) can leave you in tears.
  • Toward the end of the movie, when Daisy is walking with 80-year-old Benjamin, who now looks like a toddler and has become so young he can hardly walk.
    "I watched as he forgot how to talk...how to walk..."
  • When Benjamin (appearing to be in his early 20s) walks into Daisy's dance studio and sees her again for the first time in a decade, then sees their 12-year-old daughter. Especially the part where all he can do is just shake hands with her and say hi.
    Caroline: "This Benjamin was my father? And this is how you were going to tell me?!"
  • An aged Daisy reclines on the bed with Benjamin, who looks 6 and is in his pajamas, as she reads to him the same children's book that had been to read to them 60-something years earlier by Daisy's grandmother.
  • Benjamin's death scene, when he dies as an infant in Daisy's arms.
    "At that moment I knew... he knew who I was..."
  • The proverbial "curtain call", when we see a final zoom in to every central character.
  • The deaths of Benjamin's crewmates after their battle at sea. Captain Clark's death is especially hard-hitting, as well as Pleasant's.
• The end of The Dam Busters where Richard Todd, as Guy Gibson, says he has to write some letters and the scenes of the empty rooms and empty seats in the dining hall as the travel clock slowly ticks to a stop. Made even more poignant by the fact Richard Todd was an officer in the Paratroopers during World War II (he declined the offer to play himself in The Longest Day) and so had personal experience of having to write letters to the families of those that had died under his command.
  • Also Gibson's dog being hit and killed by a car and him looking at the scratch marks on the door and dropping the lead into the wastepaper basket, and knowing (perhaps from the book) that he was going to have his dog buried at the same time as he was due to be going into the attack against the dam, so that if he was shot down they would both be going into the ground at the same time.
• Dancer in the Dark is so emotionally devastating that some people admit to not even being able to finish the movie because it is just that heartbreaking to watch.
  • The last third is guaranteed to bring the audience to tears as Selma is torn down in front of the audience and the movie ends with Selma finally singing a song without daydreaming and being hung from the neck.
• The Dancer Upstairs, especially the suddenness of the extremists machine-gunning the wounded schoolgirl they had seemingly left behind. They had left her so that they could take them both out when the investigator was over her. He backed up in time but felt guilty for doing so. The entire movie is principally how charismatic cult/extremist leaders recruit and target young children specifically for the things law enforcement will sometimes overlook because they're underage.
• The final scene of Dances with Wolves, Dunbar and Stands With A Fist leave the tribe to protect them from searching U.S. soldiers. As they depart, they hear Wind In His Hair, one of the Lakota tribe members most hostile to Dunbar when he initially made contact with the tribe, shouting proudly from a hilltop that he is Dunbar's friend and always will be. The final text doesn't help the tear flow, either.
• The little girl in the documentary The Dark Side of Chocolate with the open wounds in her legs. Also the little trafficked boy crying. It's sad that this goes on and so many don't know about it.
• The Masterpiece Theater movie of David Copperfield: Peggotty tells David through his door that he's going to be sent away to school, but that she'll always love him.
• There's a relatively little-known indie film called Dear Wendy. In the last few scenes of the film, the group gets into an altercation with the law, and each member of the pacifist group is individually shot dead, with the exact path of each bullet being nearly scrupulously detailed, up to and including each bullet's path through the body of each victim.
• Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son about His Father will break your spirit, leave you without Kleenex for months and smile at the wonder of the human spirit.
  • The entire film, literally.
• In the 2008 movie about Jewish refugees in Belarus, Defiance, one of the four brothers learns from survivors from a neighboring town that his wife and son are dead. His reaction is heartwrenching.
  • Later in the movie, the Jews are enduring a harsh winter out in the forest where they've made their home. With no food, everyone is slowly weakening and losing hope. So Daniel Craig leads his beautiful white horse out away from the camp, pats its snout one last time, and shoots it.
• The ending of De-Lovely when Cole and Linda Porter sing "In the Still of the Night" as the camera pulls back and they fade to black.
• The Descendants (the Clooney movie, not the Disney one) is about the dark side of Paradise : Matt King's wife is dying of cancer, and then he finds out she had an affair with another man. His daughter's dumbfounded frustration with her father for not knowing this is designed to tug at the heart strings. Folks, there's a reason why this won an Oscar.
• Dinner for Schmucks, where Tim finds the pictures of the mouse dioramas of Barry and his ex-wife.
  • "I called her Pudding..."
• The section in DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story where Steve is told that he's not a pirate.
• Doctor Dolittle has the song "Like Animals," where Rex Harrison as Dolittle expresses how non-human animals are treated cruelly.
• Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, right after the challenge match at the karate convention. We've been taken on a tense thrill ride, as the seconds count down to the appointed time limit... and with only about three seconds left, Bruce Lee wins, followed by a swell of celebratory music and a rotating pan around Lee as the crowd realises what he's done.
• Drop Dead Fred
  • The main character has just taken medicine to get rid of Fred, then overhears her husband on the phone, finally realizes he's cheating on her, turns away with her world spinning around her... and then Fred, on the floor and still in pain, reaches out to her with compassion on his face: "Come."
  • The whole scene where Lizzie frees her younger self from where she was tied to the bed, then Fred tells her that she has to go now and he can't go back with her now. "Look, you've got you now. You don't need me, not anymore. So... goodbye."
• In The Duchess, when Georgiana has to give her out-of-wedlock child to her lover's family, and has to be all but dragged away by her friend - who, incidentally, became the mistress of Georgiana's husband mostly because his power enabled her to get her children back from her abusive husband.
• Eastern Promises: Not the only moment in what was overall a very dark movie, but the contents of Tatiana's diary (both translated by various characters and in voiceovers) are wrenching. Also, just how damn pitiful Kirill is when he's about to drown his baby half-sister.
• Any scene in The Elephant Man that involves people being mean to Merrick. Especially the stuff in Europe.
  • "I used to read The Bible every day, I know it very well — the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer. The twenty-third psalm is very beautiful — it's my favorite." "Why didn't you tell me you could read?" "You did not ask me... You wanted me to speak, but I was afraid."
  • Merrick's last sleep, with "Adagio for strings" and beautiful monologue (from Tennyson's poem): "Never, oh! never, nothing will die. The stream flows, The wind blows, The cloud fleets, The heart beats. Nothing will die.".
  • Treves' expression when he first sees Merrick.
• Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas has a number called "When the River Meets the Sea." It's a hymn-like song about death, which is already bad enough, but the instrumental coda is somehow even more depressing still. Which is far more powerful effect than they probably intended for the scene where Emmet puts the fateful hole in his mother's washtub, which is definitely worrysome but should not make the audience cry.
  • And then we cut straight to Emmet and his friends practicing their upbeat number for the contest. Mood Whiplash that would give that spring song from Bambi a run for its money.
• The end of Empire of the Sun, where the lead kid finally reunites with his parents... despite, right before that, he doesn't recognize them and almost missed on finding them forever.
  • For that matter, the tragedy of all the war had done to him, and how that fact is brutally driven home in that moment, because for all that they find each other again, in a very real way he isn't the kid they lost at the beginning of the war. The child they remember, the child he once was, is lost forever.
  • The way 'Suo Gan' (which is what Jamie is singing in the cathedral at the very start of the film) begins playing over the final scene. It's even more of a tearjerker when you find out what it actually is - it's a Welsh lullaby about a mother soothing her child.
  • Earlier on, the scene following the air raid on Lunghua when Jamie, suddenly tearful and scared, tells Doctor Ransome that he can't remember what his parents look like. Goddamnit, young Christian Bale.
  • Towards the start, most of what happens between Jamie getting separated from his parents and meeting Frank and Basie. Seeing him wondering, alone, around Japanese-occupied Shanghai is utterly heartbreaking. The fact he's wearing his school uniform just drives it home - he's just a lost, scared kid. The scene where he gets separated from his mother is pretty hard to watch, too: he stands on top of a car, watching her get pulled away by the crowd, screaming "MUMMY!"
• At the end of End of Days, Satan possesses Jericho's body and attempts to rape Christine. With some encouragement from her and from Jericho's own looking for redemption for not protecting his wife and child, he impales himself on a sword from the statue of Saint Michael, which stops Satan long enough from consummating with Christine till after midnight. Just before he dies, Jericho sees a vision of his wife and child waiting for him on the other side.
• The bits in Equilibrium when Preston first sees the sun rise off of the medication and Mary's execution can't help but force you to choke up a little bit. Obscurely contrasting with an hour and a half of Crowning Moments of Awesome makes them all the better and proves Christian Bale's versatility as an actor.
• The weeping Baby from Eraserhead is somewhere between this and horrific. There's also the state of Henry's apartment.
• The last half hour of Everybody's Fine. After suffering a heart attack on the plane home from visiting his daughter in Las Vegas, Frank (Robert De Niro) has a dream where his kids, as their younger selves, reveal their long-standing issues to him. He later wakes up with his three children he'd visited throughout the movie at his bedside and wonders where the fourth, David, is. He never answered the door to his apartment or returned Frank's phone calls, so he doesn't know why he's not there. Throughout the movie, it's made known that David has been arrested in Mexico for drug possession charges and his kids have been keeping the information from him until they know more about what's going on. Then his daughter tells him that David died of an overdose. After that, the movie is just a non-stop orgy of tears.
• The end of Evil Dead 2. After everything Ash has gone through, from being forced to kill his girlfriend, to having to cut off his own right hand, you'd think he'd get a break. Cue him being thrown into the past, wailing pitifully as he's being regaled as a savior from the sky and realizing he still hasn't escaped.
• Fearless (2006):
  • I did not win!
  • While we're at it "It's not about me any more" and "We stand strong"... and the rest of the last 20 minutes of the movie.
• Fearless (1993) is a movie that starred Jeff Bridges playing a survivor of a horrific plane crash.
  • Throughout the whole movie, he seems to be stuck in a state of not really feeling alive (in fact, through most of the movie, he comes off as kind of an asshole). He periodically has flashbacks showing what happened in the events leading up to the crash, starting with showing the passengers just moments before the plane starts having trouble. Each progressive flashback gets closer and closer to the point of impact, until the very last one at the end of movie, where it shows both the impact itself, and the few moments leading up to it. The final scene is one of the most emotional scenes in a movie. Just so you know, among the passengers on the plane were the protagonist's business partner and friend (the person he was sitting next to initially), two sisters who were taking their children on vacation without their husbands, a young boy who was travelling alone (and was played by a real-life survivor of the crash that this story was based on), and a mother who had her almost two-year-old son with her. Her baby is ripped from her arms and killed, one of the sisters, along with her children, die, and the business partner/friend is also killed, along with many others.
  • "I'm alive! I'm alive!" It's a moment filled with both elation and gut-wrenching grief.
• Three words: Field of Dreams.
  • "Hey Dad? You wanna have a catch? I'd like that." Brace for tears.
• The English narration of past events in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children was done so beautifully and simply that it was heartbreaking in its own right, but especially this one line: "Someone I love went back to the lifestream too."
  • Also, the final moments of the movie, watching Aeris walk away, then turn so we can finally see her face, the little farewell wave from Zack, and the final lines: "See? Everything's okay." "You're right. I'm not alone." The combination of Cloud finally smiling, surrounded by the children he has helped cure, being congratulated by his team-mates and some closure on Aerith. All this happening in that god damn church. The orchestral piece Cloud Smiles that plays during the scene tops it all off, as it is just fucking beautiful.
  • When Cloud drops his phone into a pool of water, we watch it slowly sink, as we hear messages from all his friends. Then, when it finally reaches the bottom:
  Aerith: I never blamed you. Not once. You came for me. That's all that matters.
• The Final Girls is surprisingly emotional for a slasher film. The main character Max is grieving her mother who has been dead for three years, and when Max and her friends get sucked into an Expy of Friday the 13th called "Camp Bloodbath" which just happens to star a younger version of Max's mom...lets just say that you won't be able to listen to the song "Bette Davis Eyes" again without a few small tears running down your cheeks.
• The ending of The Florida Project packs a powerful punch with the fate of its central characters.
• The death of Weebo in Flubber. Think the death of a non-humanoid robot isn't heartwrenching? Think again.
• Amy hitting Igor in Fly Away Home, with the thud and the way she screams after she hits him, terrified that she's hurt him badly.
• After a brotherhood moment in Flyboys when The Squad stuck up for their friend.
• In For a Few Dollars More, the scene where El Indio sends the wife and his baby son of his victim to be sacrificed
• Sparrow's death in The Forbidden Kingdom.
• The Fountain:
  • After the main character's wife dies, and he's sitting in his bedroom and absolutely sobbing, while tattooing his wedding ring on his finger since he'd lost it before her death. Actually, the whole ending of that movie too. Heartbreaking.
  • The moment where the main character sees the vision of his wife which has been haunting him for decades switch simultaneously with his wife's depiction of Isabella of Spain is particularly painful. Especially the moment when he smiles and says, "I'm going to die". The little laugh at the end.
• Four Lions, a Black Comedy about inept suicide bombers, stays upbeat until the last ten minutes. Earlier in the film, ringleader Omar tells his son how martyrs die smiling. By the end, all of his friends have died for nothing, including naive Manchild Waj, who was terrified. He walks into a chemist and blows himself up, but not before saying his last words to a colleague standing nearby.
  Omar: Now, you stay here. And you tell them I was smiling.
• Idgie telling Ruth one last story in Fried Green Tomatoes.
  • And oddly (or perhaps not, all things considered), that final shot of the Whistle Stop Cafe, dilapidated and weathered and abandoned, with the whole town gone. It just seemed to encapsulate everything Idgie lost, everything we loved about her town.
• An old Spencer Tracy movie called Fury. His character had been arrested in a case of mistaken identity and a lynch mob stormed the town jail and set it on fire, killing his dog and narrowly missing killing him as well. Then again at the end, when his girlfriend talked him out of framing them for his "death" and he gave an impassioned-but-bitter speech about how he'd always thought of America as a place where you could find justice.
• Gallipoli.
  • Frank (Mel Gibson) just can't quite run fast enough to get back to the trench with the order to stop the attack, and has to watch all his mates going over the top to their doom.
  • He doesn't see it, but instead hears the whistle blown by the Major to start the attack, causing him to collapse howling in despair. Who would've thought the sound of a tin whistle could be so traumatic?
  • Also during that scene, the soldiers awaiting the order to go, all writing last letters to loved ones and fixing them to the sandbags with their bayonets, then hanging their valuables - rings, watches, lockets - on the bayonet handles. Wordless and quite beautiful.
  • Just...
  Archie: What are your legs? Springs. Steel springs. What are they going to do? Hurl me down the track. How fast can you run? As fast as a leopard. How fast are you going to run? As fast as a leopard! Then let's see you do it.
  • C. E. W Bean's accounts of Gallipoli were polished up to publish and might not have been a completely accurate and impartial reflection of events...but that bit? Completely true - there was a young Australian soldier (Wilfred Harper) who was last seen running for the trenches without a rifle, like 'a schoolboy in a foot-race'.
  • [1] The soundtrack really doesn't help...
• Gentleman Jim: After "Gentleman" Jim Corbett (Errol Flynn) defeats legendary undefeated boxer John L. Sullivan (Ward Bond) for the heavyweight title, Sullivan goes to Corbett to congratulate him and gives him his belt in a touching and gracious show of sportsmanship. Corbett returns in kind:
  "Thanks again, John. I hope when my time comes, I can go out with my head held as high as yours. There'll never another John L. Sullivan."
• Ghost Town. The scene where the main character finally submits to the ghosts requests and goes around telling their survivors what they wanted to say is surprisingly touching for what was a riotous comedy up until then.
• The Battle of Fredricksburg, as depicted in the film Gods and Generals, when the Irish Bridgade of the Union army encounters an Irish regiment of the Confederate army. Ordered into an impossible meat-grinder of a charge, the Union brigade is cut down in swathes. At the height of the slaughter, the Confederate commander, overwhelmed by the sight of so many of his countrymen dead by his own hand, breaks down into Manly Tears. When one learns that some of the officers on either side had formerly fought together in the Rebellion of 1848, having fled to America to escape British reprisals, it becomes almost heartbreaking.
  • There's a few similar scenes in the sequel, Gettysburg, in which the officers discuss those on the opposing side with whom they had previously served, some even being close friends, which are very moving.
  • The river scene where Union and Confederate soldiers trade coffee and tobacco elicited this so subtly, words cannot describe it.
• The German film Good Bye, Lenin!
  • Alex's mother finally leaves her room and walks the now-Westernised streets of what was East Berlin.
  • And when Alex is riding home in the taxi and the taxi driver is his childhood hero, the cosmonaut Sigmund Jähn.
  • At the end, Alex is showing his mother another fake news tape, and she says it's wonderful, but she's looking at her son, not the TV... she knows that he has been faking these news reports for her, and she knows that it's just a sign of how much he loves her.
• Goodbye, Mr. Chips. "I thought I heard you saying it was a pity... pity I never had any children. But you're wrong. I have. Thousands of them. Thousands of them... and all boys."
• Good Morning, Vietnam: The What A Wonderful World scene. Those shots of Vietnam's lush jungle and rice paddies and villages, and then shots of said peaceful villages being blown to bits. The shot of the lone bloody sandal sitting on the ground among the wreckage.
  • Cronauer finds out he's getting discharged, and why. As he races out to confront Tuan on his treachery, the onetime friend in turn rips Cronauer's eyes open to the reality of the situation...
  Adrian Cronauer: That's not the fucking point! You understand me? I fought to get you into that bar! And then you blow the fucking place up! Listen... I gave you my friendship... and my trust! And now they tell me that my best friend is the goddamn enemy!
  Tuan: (in tears, showing himself) ENEMY? What is enemy? You killing my people miles from your home. We not the enemy! You the enemy!
  Adrian Cronauer: (tersely) You used me to kill two people! Two people DIED in that fucking bar!
  Tuan: Big fucking deal! My brother is dead. And my other brother, who be 29 years old, he dead! Shot by Americans! My neighbor, dead! His wife, dead. WHY? Because we're not human to them! We're just little Vietnamese!
• The Good Son with the crazy kid played by Culkin...Would any mother make that same decision?!
  • What, let him die? Seeing as it was a choice between him and the kid who was more of a son to her than he was, then.....
• Gorillas in the Mist - After watching Diane Fossey (played Sigourney Weaver) gradually gain the trust of the mountain gorillas, to see her sobbing over the decapitated corpse of her favorite gorilla Digit is heartwrenching. "They took his hands... they took his head... They took his HEAD!" Tears everytime.
• Grace of My Heart has a scene in which Edna, the songwriter main character, a songwriter, has retreated to a hippy commune after her musical career has stalled and the the troubled Manchild love of her life has walked into the ocean while stoned out of his mind. She's visited by former mentor Joel, (John Turturro) who takes her and her adopted and actual children to a motel to eat pizza and be away from the commune for a bit. In the middle of the night, Joel finds her moping by the pool and tells her she needs to pull herself together, stop grieving and generally accept that she's better than she thinks she is. In response, she (understandably) gives him an increasingly furious "The Reason You Suck" Speech, pointing out to him that he's got no right to tell her what to do, that as a Record Producer he's continually exploited her talent and that he'd be nowhere without her. Instead of fighting with her, Joel completely agrees with her, which disarms her so much that she gets more and more furious she gets until she finally collapses and weeps.
• In Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator, Chaplin plays a man who gets mistaken for the movies expy of Adolf Hitler at the end. Because of that, he ends up having to give a speech in front of everyone who followed the dictator. His speech is so amazing, and so beautiful... And then you remember what the real Hitler did. If you really want to turn into a sobbing mess, watch this version.
• The final scene in The Great Ziegfeld, when Ziegfeld's stage extravaganzas flash before his eyes before he expires.
  I've got to have more steps. I need more steps. I've got to get higher — higher.
• Grumpier Old Men: "Looks like God remembered you, Pop"
• Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Especially when you know the backstory behind the relationship of Ms. Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.
• The ending of Gwoemul.
