Most powerful scene from a movie or TV show?

The Wire -Proposition Joe Vs Marlo.

"Close your Eyes, it wont hurt none"!

phatkev · 17-12-2013 02:31AM

the Wire really has somany but I'll always remember this scene, Omar Little- "when you Come at the king, you best not miss"

The Sopranos-

When Silvio and Adrianna go for a ride is some of the best TV I've ever seen

KyussBishop · 17-12-2013 02:31AM

The end of the original 'The Wicker Man' - haven't come across many endings like that.

The final scene of Six Feet Under.

This. Wonderfully filmed and perfectly soundtracked.

Jack telling Kate ''We have to go back'' in Lost.

The moment fans realise they actually do get off the island and that they are watching a flash-forward instead of a flashback.

Remember being stunned watching it.

This scene actually had me cry each time I watched it for ages

The Wire definitely has some powerful moments, not too many more hard hitting then this

This one has to be well up there too from a movie

There are literally so many I'd be here all night

Surely someone has mentioned Champ? Rudy?

I felt like sh*t when one of the lads from The Shield got killed

by a grenade

Smidge · 17-12-2013 02:41AM

Also the "Opera" scene in "Philadelphia"
Few other very sad scenes in that movie, you'd have to have a swinging brick not to be moved by that movie:)

Anybody else spent the last 30 or so minutes watching clips of John McGinley?

bodhrandude · 17-12-2013 02:46AM

i posted this before in the film forum somewhere but this is my favourite from True Romance with Christopher Walken as the badass Mafia man and Hopper's character who is basically fcuked.

Dances with Wolves when the wolf is shot

Last of the Mochicans when the Indian is killed and his father sees it.

Reiketsu · 17-12-2013 02:54AM

Breaking Bad's "Ozymandias" episode. Couldn't cope

The opening episode of the Shield was one that springs to ming. Very much a case of WTF!
edit! The brothers in arms on West Wing wasn't bad either!

Definitely one of my favourites

Have to say the scene in the shed in Wolf Creek was fairly powerful and not in a good way, genuinely unnerving film.

Alfred Borden · 17-12-2013 03:01AM

Absolutely loved this scene, so powerful, just knew everything was going to go wild after this

SimonTemplar · 17-12-2013 03:10AM

ET "I'll be right here"

CMBurns · 17-12-2013 03:12AM

Another great one from Breaking Bad was the ending of season 3. The innocence of Gale combined with the sheer pressure Jesse had been put under to act made for brilliant TV. Couldn't help but feel sorry for both of them.

sureitsgrand · 17-12-2013 03:17AM

Loads of powerful scenes in Good Will Hunting, but I think the final few minutes top them all..

kryogen · 17-12-2013 03:20AM

Also a powerful scene, great from Frank. I wont put up one of his other most powerful scenes

More hard hitting tv from The Wire.

Brutal, deserved, but brutal

On a side note, the young actors in the wire, particularly Michael were fantastic

Actually, I want to warn people who haven't seen this, it may upset you if your a bit sensitive

Some scene though, says a bit more about Chris' character too, and what possibly happened to him as a kid maybe

willmunny1990 · 17-12-2013 03:29AM

Well there is three main ones for me personally.

When Mick dies in Rocky 3:

And when I was younger these two always got to me:o

When Mufasa dies in the Lion King:

When Drako died in Dragonheart:

J. Marston · 17-12-2013 03:33AM

Littlefoot's Mother dying

.

An Riabhach · 17-12-2013 03:39AM

The Omen (original version)
The priest being killed in the graveyard and the photographer being decapitated-both great yet horrifying scenes and the music is deadly.

Song For A Raggy Boy
The scenes where one little boy is buggered(please excuse my word choice) by a xtian brother and where another little boy is beaten to death by the head priest-both scenes made me want to put my foot through the TV screen.

The scene near the end,where the teacher (played by Aidan Quinn) beats and kicks the livin sheit outa the bastard head priest-really enjoyed that scene.

horsebox09 · 17-12-2013 03:43AM

the fact somebody had the balls to do this, unbelievable:

can't forget this either:

Band of Brothers is still the pinnacle of TV for me

CM24 · 17-12-2013 03:53AM

Honourable mention- Last scene from Homeward Bound where they don't think the old dog has made it home.

Don't know if we're allowed post from computer games but, Cid's backstory from Final Fantasy 7 hit me right in the feels. Go 2 mins in.

AlanMcC23 · 17-12-2013 04:02AM

The lion king when mufasa died has always got me since i first seen it really sad

Also the warrior(tom hardy) ending was really underrated in my opinion

Jimoslimos · 17-12-2013 04:14AM

This scene from La vita è bella (Life is Beautiful)

The father knows he is being taken for execution but still to the last minute shields his son from the horrors of life in the concentration camp by pretending it's a game.

Mentioned a page previously, but I completely agree. I think the premise put a lot of people off and they missed out on some great acting.

The last minute or so of this scene is fantastic.

Another great scene for me was in Oz. The scene before they attempt to execute Cyril O'Reilly for the 2nd time. The moment the rest of the prisoners collectively start banging on their cell windows. If you watch the preceding series, a rare moment of unity catches you off guard. Great scene.

ardle1 · 17-12-2013 04:23AM

The Perfect Storm ending...Believe it or not! it's also my favourite movie, I've posted about it before(swear)
