Most powerful scene from a movie or TV show?

SPOILERS FOR THE WIRE BELOW:

I watched The Wire recently and the scene where Stringer visits D after he takes the years really stood out. Really moving and sort of haunting.

Have you any scenes from movies or TV shows that have really stuck with you?

Sad scenes from comedies are particularly moving. I guess because they're so unexpected.

Which leads me to...

The final scene of Blackadder Goes Forth.

Archeron

One of the scenes from Stigmata where Patricia Arquette wakes up after a possession and she is crying. She says "why am I so sad, I feel like my heart is breaking" and she conveys it so well that you can't but feel it too, though there is no logical reason for being sad.
Always one I remember.

MJ23

Bull McCabe in the priests house in The Field. Telling the the story of the day his mother died.
Superb.

Ihatecuddles

The end of Ladder 49.

when he tries so hard to break through the wall, thinking that he can escape on the other side...only to find it's surrounded by smoke. His face when he sees the flames on the other side of the window. He tells the captain to tell him wife and kids he loves them. Then Shine your light by Robbie Robertson plays, I cry like a baby and I'm pretty much made of stone!

Shine Your Light is a great song btw

Ihatecuddles

Oh and The Royle Family.

Barbara brushing nannas hair
Denis in labour in the bathroom and Jim comes up to her
Nanna dying

I f*cking love that show.

Vito Corleone

When Homer's Mom had to go back into hiding.

Call me Al

Sophies Choice, where she has to choose which of her two children to keep with her and which to give away in the German ww2 death camp. Torturous scene brilliantly acted by Meryl Streep.

George Orwells Animal Farm

Even though its a cartoon, the scene where Boxer the horse is being taken away in the Death Wagon and the screams from Benjamin as he chases after it will stay with me forever.

Basically the whole second half of Requiem for a Dream is gut wrenching and horrific creating a sense of emptiness and despair.

*Artillary stops booming

"Its stopped!
Mabye the wars ended?"

"No, it means we are about to attack.
Not even our generals are mad enough to shell their own men.
They feel its far more sporting to let the Germans do so!"

There's something in my eye

Can we please use spoiler tags for big, ya know, spoilers for the rest of the thread?

This would be a great powerful scene

(contains spoilers if you havent seen West Wing)

9 minutes of TV perfection that builds to an amazing conclusion

The scene from "The Champ" with Ricky Shroeder and Jon Voigt......
"Dont Go Champ"

Jesse finding a child in the ruins of a crackhouse in Breaking Bad.

"Code 4" in Southland left me devastated. It came out of nowhere.

The discovery of a body (

Laine, hanging in his office

) in Mad Men.

The final scene of Six Feet Under.

DazMarz

The final scenes of Frasier. Yes, the quality had dipped in the final few seasons, but it was still spectacular. I remember watching this, and I was crying. Not just because of the emotional twinges of the scene, but because this was the curtain coming down on one of the greatest comedy series ever. We will probably never see the likes of it again. Pure genius and brilliance.

The line that always gets to me is: "For 11 years, you've heard me say 'I'm listening'. Well, you were listening too. And for that, I am eternally grateful. Goodnight, Seattle."

Pretty every minute and hour of Breaking Bad

Uncle Mclovin

The Shield (possibly season 6)

Shane vendrel takes the life of his daughter and wife before killing himself as he feels its the only option left for them.

Heart wreching scene and perfectly acted.

Unbelievable series.
