Okay, this thread is for movies scenes that were so incredibly moving or well done that they stand out from the movie itself. This thread is about scenes that fully grabbed your attention, made you cry, made you sigh with exhaustion when they ended. I'm talking about the scenes that made you turn to someone and say, "wow."
There's a few that I could share, but I'll start with the scene that made me think to start this thread. This weekend my wife and I watched a French film about the life of Edith Piaf, La Vie En Rose. I know I know...a boring foreign film? Hear me out. A little background, Marion Cotillard won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her betrayal of the troubled singer. If you can stomach subtitles, her life was pretty interesting and it makes for a good movie despite what was left out of it (helping French troops escape Germans during WW2). While it was good movie, there's one scene that felt incredible. A real acting tour de force, the scene I'm referring to was created in one continuous shot.
If you're going to watch the movie one day, I wouldn't watch the scene but if not...here it is...
So what do you have? I suspect not many people had seen or remember this movie so I thought it would be a good one to start. There's one movie scene that I'm thinking of that I think will definitely make the first page.

Edith has convinced her lover, a world champion boxer Marcel Cerdan, to take a flight from Paris to New York to visit her.
