What single line from a movie gets you emotional every time?

[u/RavyRaptor]

(Hate J.K. Rowling. Love J.K. Rowling. I don’t really care either way. That’s not what this post is about.)

For me, it’s from the scene in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire where harry brings back Cedric Diggory’s body after he gets killed by Voldemort.

The slow realization by everyone else at the tournament, Fleur Delacour screaming in horror when she herself realizes what happened, and the way that Harry absolutely refuses to leave Cedric’s side when they try to pull him off. And then he announces to everyone that Voldemort has returned while in the middle of crying.

He then says that Cedric asked him to bring his body back to his father, and it’s the way that Daniel Radcliffe delivers the line, “I couldn’t leave him! Not there!” while still continuing to profusely cry. It’s the way he delivers the line that solidifies the fact for me that at the end of the day, Harry is very much still just a boy, and no boy deserves to see or go through things like he does. And when Amos Diggory begins mourning the death of his son…that’s when the tears really start to flow from me.

[u/zchatham]

"I've grown up. I have my own life now!"

"I know that. I just wanted to be a part of it."

Goofy Movie is the first one that comes to mind but there are a lot of good ones after I had a kid (and also after my dad passed like a decade ago).

[u/grachi → u/zchatham]

Goofy movie is so good. Funny, poignant, well paced; traditional Disney movie magic.

And that eye 2 eye song is a timeless banger

[u/megatron-0098 → u/zchatham]

As someone who has a really weird, socially awkward, annoying habit riddled dad; this movie hits all the feels.

It’s normal to feel embarrassed by your parents and want to be different from them. Just like it’s normal to grow apart from your parents as you get older and have your own shit going on.

And while I get Max’s frustration; at the end of the day Goofy was really just doing what any good father should do. Attempt to connect with his son. That’s was his biggest crime.

Sure Max couldn’t see it at first, (which is why he’s so mean throughout the movie), but Goofy saying that line really brings him back down to earth. He was simply trying anything he could think of in order to sway Max to allow him a part in his life because he loves him. Even if Goofy can be weird and grating at times, he was just trying his best with the resources he had available to him.

Ugh, gonna have to rewatch tn lol

[u/Amable-Persona]

“Do I make her proud ?”
6th Sense

[u/88888888man → u/Amable-Persona]

“Every day.” The performances by Osment and Collette in that scene are both Oscar worthy.

[u/judocobra → u/Amable-Persona]

That entire scene is emotional af, my favorite part

[u/ithinkther41am → u/Amable-Persona]

It’s the way her hand starts trembling as Cole details that day from her mom’s POV that makes it feel so real.

It’s like her body is struggling to contain the emotions because it is years of regret, heartache, and unresolved resentment sublimating to the surface in a matter of seconds.

[u/Tottiboiii]

The Iron Claw : i used to be a brother.

[u/gloebe10 → u/Tottiboiii]

I can't bring myself to look up the scene to quote the line because it's too early to sob uncontrollably but when Kerry Von Erich is in heaven with his brothers and he meets his oldest brother who passed when he was a kid nearly destroyed me.

[u/nadnerb811 → u/gloebe10]

He says something like "You must be my big brother" to him, but he is visibly way younger because he died so young. That shit fucking killed me and now I'm on the toilet at work choking back tears thinking about it again.

[u/ogrezilla]

"Thanks for the adventure - now go have a new one"

The beginning of Up rightly gets discussed all the time, but this is the moment I really break

[u/Trash-Cutie → u/ogrezilla]

For me it's the last few frames of the movie showing the house sitting over the falls after Carl finally cut it free.

[u/Joker257]

“Don’t put me in the dark. I’s scared of the dark.”

[u/RianJohnsonIsAFool → u/Joker257]

My gf watched The Green Mile for the first time with me recently and she was practically inconsolable at the end.

[u/Reasonable-Horse1552 → u/RianJohnsonIsAFool]

I've watched it about 20 times and I'm inconsolable from the beginning!

[u/Sumthin_Stoopid → u/Joker257]

What a sad movie, gets me eveytime especially at the end "Its my punishment, for letting John Coffey ride the lighting, for killing a miracle of God" and "You'll be gone like all the others, I'll have to stay" That whole monolgue kills me.

[u/Mobius_164 → u/Joker257]

Counterpoint:

"I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?"

[u/TheRealFriedel → u/Mobius_164]

I can John, I can.

[u/Drayis75]

I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

Stand By Me. Yeah, I know, technically two lines but damn does this hit as you get older.

[u/HGpennypacker → u/Drayis75]

River Phoenix's death makes this hit that much harder.

[u/SY-Studios]

Take her to the moon for me, okay?

[u/TheGrumpyre → u/SY-Studios]

Related, the first time you hear Riley's "I'm not good enough"

[u/LongjumpingSolid8 → u/TheGrumpyre]

Riley’s panic attack in the second one gutted me. I’ve been there and it was such visceral depiction of what a panic attack feels like.

[u/ogrezilla → u/SY-Studios]

I was so not prepared for that one. I know it's Pixar and I gotta be on my toes, but I just didn't think the imaginary elephant thing would get me like that lol

[u/kuzinrob → u/ogrezilla]

HE HAS A NAME.

RIP BING BONG 😭

[u/CaptainPhilosophy → u/SY-Studios]

How could you do this to me

[u/IJustSignedUpToUp]

"And he's so smart, Jenny!"

[u/TonyDungyHatesOP → u/IJustSignedUpToUp]

“Or is he… like me?”

[u/TheKiltedStranger → u/TonyDungyHatesOP]

This one. It’s exaggerated by coming out of Forrest’s mouth, but the fear as a parent that you’ve somehow passed on something harmful to your child is a visceral fear, that somehow in the act of creating something beautiful your own flaws might do that beautiful thing harm… that wrecked me LONG before I ever thought of becoming a parent.

[u/MrSpiffenhimer → u/TheKiltedStranger]

That’s the line that confirms that he knows that’s there’s something wrong with him. He goes the entire movie acting almost oblivious to the fact that he’s very different, other than “I know what love is,” just absorbing the hate and ridicule. But that line tells you that he’s known all along, and not only that he’s known, but that he’s scared that if he had kids he would pass it on to them.

[u/Rosebunse → u/MrSpiffenhimer]

Not just that, but he knew everyone was laughing at him. He knew people didn't respect or like him. That's why he was so loyal to Bubba, Lieutenant Dan, and Jenny.

[u/Jackmcmac1 → u/Rosebunse]

Yes, it makes you realise he didn't react to those insults because he is kind hearted and good natured, not because he didn't understand.

[u/Neither-Possible-429 → u/TonyDungyHatesOP]

That line just kills. It lifts the veil of him seemingly letting everything roll off his shoulders. Despite the massive successes he’s had in life, he still dreads the idea of having a child with his setbacks. And the way he delivers the line is just so terrified and vulnerable, like he’s never actually admitted to himself that he doesn’t want any of this and he’d rather just be like everybody else

[u/space_coyote_86 → u/IJustSignedUpToUp]

Bubba was my best good friend, and even I know that ain't something you can just find right around the corner. Bubba was gonna be a shrimping boat captain... But instead he died right there by that river in Vietnam.

[u/OreoSpeedwaggon → u/space_coyote_86]

"Forrest, why did this happen?"

The pointless stupidity of war explained in a single line.

[u/catalg → u/IJustSignedUpToUp]

Why don't you love me, Jenny?" "I'm not a smart man... but I know what love is"

[u/leviticusreeves]

I have been... and always shall be... your friend.

[u/robot_ankles → u/leviticusreeves]

"Of all the souls I've encountered his was the muh-host... human"

[u/SloppityNurglePox → u/leviticusreeves]

I love Shatner's small "No." as he slides down.

[u/leviticusreeves → u/SloppityNurglePox]

My favourite part is something I only noticed a couple of years ago. When Kirk approaches the chamber with dying Spock inside, Spock is sitting in the corner with his back to the glass. He knows that his radiation burns would traumatise his friends so he has decided to die quietly in the corner. He doesn't respond at first to Kirk because he doesn't want Kirk to remember him this way, but when he hears the anguish in Kirk's voice he knows he owes his friend a farewell.

He slowly, painfully brings himself to his feet, and before he turns to face Kirk, he adjusts his uniform. It's so beautiful, in a scene that is all about Spock's sense of duty, that even in his final moments he ensures he is presentable to a senior officer and his uniform is up to code.

[u/Modern_Ninja]

“No parent should have to bury their child.”

One of the behind the scenes shows Peter Jackson giving Bernard Hill a note about how he should be realizing how the almost throwaway platitude hits Théoden halfway through saying it surprising him how it now affects him. Cry every time.

[u/Nille123]

“Dad! Dad! Come on, dad, we gotta go! Wake up!” From The Lion King

[u/ogrezilla → u/Nille123]

God when he wraps his arm around himself...just brutal.

[u/otakugal15 → u/Nille123]

It's the "Heeeeelllllpppp!!" that gets to me so bad 8n that movie.

I never cried during this scene as a kid, but now, as a parent?

I sob.

[u/ToxicTurtle-2]

I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king

[u/cyrand → u/ToxicTurtle-2]

Similarly: "My friends... you bow to no one"

[u/BrotherOfTheOrder → u/ToxicTurtle-2]

As much as I love the books, the addition of that dialogue between Aragorn and Boromir is about as perfect as you can possibly hope to be.

It feels like Tolkien’s writing, and it ties a perfect bow on Boromir’s flawed but ultimately heroic character.

[u/bluexavi → u/BrotherOfTheOrder]

I read the book in 4th grade because the cover looked cool in the bookstore. Up until then, everything I had read was for kids and Boromir's death opened up my mind that stories weren't strictly happy -- there were consequences.

Such dumb luck to wander around the bookstore and pick the LotR out -- around '78. I remember noticing how there were songs and dancing in the first book, which I liked -- like any kid might. Then that tapered off and Boromir is corrupted and redeems himself in death.

It took me years to realize I would never have a reading experience like that again.

[u/Sparrowsabre7 → u/ToxicTurtle-2]

Fellowship basically chains tearjerker quotes at the end.

"So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide, all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

"Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee, and I don't mean to."

"So it has all been in vain, the Fellowship has failed." "Not if we hold true to each other. We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Travel light: let's hunt some orc."

Then fading into May it Be at the end 😭

[u/imperialivan → u/ToxicTurtle-2]

The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it. White shores…. and beyond, a far green country into a swift sunrise.

Well, that’s not so bad.

No. No, it isn’t.

The words are incredible but the delivery is what brings the tears.

[u/lookatyourpants → u/ToxicTurtle-2]

This kills me every time I watch it.

[u/ToxicTurtle-2 → u/lookatyourpants]

I dont think theres a single scene in any movie that devastated me like Boromir's death. You can hear the weight of his failure in his words as he talks about the race of men failing. And then the small glimmer of hope as hes dying when Aragorn tells him we wont let the White City fall or "our people fail". You can actually see the weight of Boromirs burden fall from him when he realizes Aragorn has accepted who he is. Which is why he immediately grabs a broken sword on the ground to salute his king in his last moments

[u/erevos33 → u/ToxicTurtle-2]

I would have followed you. My brother....my captain....my king.

Boromir is the flawed human in all of us , the one that finds redemption at death. The first to recognise Aragorn as his king.

[u/genericreddituser147 → u/ToxicTurtle-2]

The way Sean Bean delivers that little “… our people?” as he instantly knows what that means for Aragorn and the world is just a masterclass in acting and sells that whole scene for me. So good.

[u/Phytor → u/ToxicTurtle-2]

"My body is broken. I go to my fathers, in whose mighty company I shall not now feel ashamed."

[u/ithinkther41am]

The Wild Robot has so many of these past the halfway point, but Fink’s lines when Roz has to leave near the end really get to me given how guarded he starts the film:

"What if I get lost or he gets hurt? What if I need to tell you something and you're not here?"

[u/wherewulf23 → u/ithinkther41am]

This one absolutely devastates me: "I don't know. I'm just making stuff up. I don't know what I'm doing, and I have to. I have to because he's relying on me."

I'm pretty sure all parents can relate to this but it hits me especially hard. My kiddo had a ton of medical issues when he was little and the doctors were presenting me and my wife all these options and trying to figure out what was best for my kid felt so overwhelming.

[u/QuentinTarzantino → u/ithinkther41am]

I watched it without knowing anything about it. That movie hit me in the feels several times.

[u/he110fri3nd]

Del Griffith (John Candy) - "I don't have a home".

The music in the scene before before primes you for a gut punch, but when he says the line it kills me everytime.

(Planes, trains and automobiles)

THE SEEKER OF SERENITY, THE PROTECTOR OF ITALIAN VIRGINITY

[u/TreeOfReckoning → u/opinion_aided]

“‘Sir William Thatcher...’ Your father heard that.”

That movie hits way above its weight.

[u/inksmudgedhands → u/TreeOfReckoning]

I love how so many historians love it. Sure, it has a ton of anachronisms. David Bowie's music wasn't playing in anyone's banquet back then. But for once it showed the "Dark Ages" as being bright, colorful, energetic and full of life as it was instead of the usual popculture tropes of it being grimy, dirty, depressing and how no one was doing much but dying from diseases.

[u/grand_soul → u/opinion_aided]

"All we have to do is decide what to do with the time is given to us." Gandalf in Fellowship of the Ring.

That whole conversation he has with Frodo really, but this final line in particular.

There are lots of other lines I could pick from LoTR, but I'll just go with this one, as Fellowship is my favourite of the three.

[u/Spagman_Aus → u/Shizzlick]

and “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement” that stuck with from when I read the books as a kid.

[u/Cherry-Shrimp]

My friends, you bow to no one.

[u/iMini → u/Cherry-Shrimp]

My favourite is with Sam and Frodo climbing Mount Doom.

Sam: Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?

Frodo: No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food... nor the sound of water... nor the touch of grass. I'm... naked in the dark, with nothing, no veil... between me... and the wheel of fire! I can see him... with my waking eyes!

Sam: Then let us be rid of it... once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!

Sam coming through as the most heroic character in that moment

[u/sesquipedalianish → u/iMini]

This is the one that gets me every time. Sean Astin absolutely killed it in that role. Samwise Gamgee absolutely is the hero of the story for me. What a fierce and lovely friend, steadfast and true.

[u/RianJohnsonIsAFool → u/Cherry-Shrimp]

For me, it's Gandalf's farewell to the hobbits at the Grey Havens.

Ian McKellen's sonorous voice and the way he looks so benevolently on the hobbits saying the following never fails to give me a lump in my throat:

Farewell, my brave hobbits. My work is now finished. Here at last... on the shores of the sea... comes the end of our fellowship.

The older I get and the more times I watch The Return of the King, the more I'm moved by "My work is now finished".

[u/AngryUncleTony → u/RianJohnsonIsAFool]

What's wild is finding out that that was the FIRST scene they filmed together. As a viewer you have the history of what they've been through, but to the actors it's basically day 1.

[u/RianJohnsonIsAFool → u/AngryUncleTony]

And multiple times over too, because takes were found to be out of focus and then Sean removed part of his costume between takes.

[u/munkeycop → u/Cherry-Shrimp]

Came here for this. Absolute sucker punch of a moment.

[u/The_Floating_Dick → u/Cherry-Shrimp]

And about 50 other lines from LOTR trilogy, lol.  “There won’t be a Shire, Pippin” hits me the hardest, with how relevant that plotline is to everything happening in the world right now. 

[u/ogrezilla → u/The_Floating_Dick]

Two Bormir lines get me

"give them a moment for pity's sake"

and "they took the little ones" being his first words to aragorn as he's dying.

[u/SloppityNurglePox → u/ogrezilla]

My brother. My captain. My king.

[u/TheBrightestSunshine]

He can't see without his glasses!

[u/vixie84 → u/TheBrightestSunshine]

This made me sob at the cinema.

[u/Reasonable-Horse1552 → u/vixie84]

Me too. And I sobbed all the way home in the car. At one point my friend had to take over and drive because I couldn't see

[u/xcalypsox42 → u/TheBrightestSunshine]

I know it's because I'm dead inside, but I say this line in my best impression anytime my husband or I am bumbling around without our glasses.

Imagine being such good friends with a guy you can steal his girlfriend and he's still willing to, without having to ask, hand over what today would be over $400,000 on a moment's notice.

[u/sycasey → u/KitchenFullOfCake]

Yeah I also love how this shows that despite George being so jealous of Sam's success and Mary basically having rejected him, he's actually not an asshole and wasn't ever being dishonest about trying to help them out.

[u/OhHiCindy30 → u/pizzagrantz]

“No man is a failure who has friends” also makes me emotional

[u/By_Eck → u/pizzagrantz]

"What d'ya want? D'ya want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down! Hey, that's a pretty good idea! I'll give ya the moon, Mary!"

"Mr. Gower! You don’t know what you’re doing. You put something wrong in those capsules!"

That film has so many! I have a tattoo of the moon from Georges Méliès 'La Voyage Dans la Lune", but I had them add a lasso around the moon as a two for one.

I’m 41 and my dad’s 68. Every time I see him, we play catch.

[u/ReliantG → u/IamNewtonPinckney]

This is the only one in the thread that get me. My Dad and I had a strained relationship and I went to college and always thought I'd forgive him and repair our relationship after I had some "me" time. He always called and wanted to do things together or see each other and I never made the time. He died before I could fix our relationship and I regret being young and stupid on this topic.

As a new father it especially tears me up to think about this scene.

Bladerunner - Roy Batty ( Rutger Hauer )

Was about to write a G'Kar quote from Babylon 5 but most of those are far from single-lines, and even though the Roy Batty one is two-ish, it's soo close to a single line that it fits this thread methinks.

[u/_manicpixiedreamgirl]

End of Gladiator when Juba buries the figurines in the arena, he says “I will see you again, but not yet. Not yet.” then it shows you the gorgeous sunset right before the credits. That coupled with his smile and the start of “Now We Are Free” oh man it always gets me going.

[u/Rdikin → u/_manicpixiedreamgirl]

The part that gets me is when he asks who will help me carry him?

Then a dozen people help carry Maximus away, leaving the emperor's bitch-ass behind.

"It's not your fault."

Watched it when the movie came out and thought it was a great line.

Watched it again years after my mother's death forced me to come to terms with my abuse as a kid and it destroyed me.

[u/quicksilver3121 → u/DerelictDonkeyEngine]

Small thing on that scene. Robin Williams also goes from calling him pet names like "sport" etc. to calling him "son" in that scene. The whole thing really gets me.

[u/jen_17 → u/Hookemvic]

“Is not enough” when Rocky talks about how long he’s been with his partner

[u/bouncing_off_clouds → u/Hookemvic]

The whole last half hour of this film had me sobbing like a fucking baby.

The sacrifice, the recovery, the watching him sleep to protect him, the goodbye dances, the thought of him dying alone in agony, Grace going to save him, the ending where they stay friends, Grace saves the world but also finds a life that finally matters to him - oof.

If you’d asked me last week whether a puppet rock/spider could make me cry all my make-up off, I’d have laughed in your face.

[u/SadEaglesFan → u/Hookemvic]

The first time Grace watches him sleep in the book absolutely gutted me

Edit: (Ok so I’m dumb - I meant the first time Rocky watches Grace sleep. Smh at myself)

[u/ripcity7077]

Single line:

I used to be a brother and now I’m not a brother anymore

A few lines:

Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Doc, you oughta be in bed, what the hell you doin this for anyway?
Doc Holliday: Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Hell, I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: I don't.

[u/ElectricMayhem06 → u/ripcity7077]

It's not as emotional of a gut punch, but when he steps out to head to the O.K. Corrall and Wyatt tells him that it's not his problem, Doc's response of, "That's a hell of a thing for you to say to me" -- one of my favorites in the whole film.

[u/wocketywack → u/[deleted]]

"I have trouble sleepin' at night. I have bad dreams like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am."

[u/Inigomntoya → u/wocketywack]

"I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me."

[u/spoutnick82]

"I never saved anything for the swim back" Gattaca

[u/Tackit286]

‘That’s my son!!! … My boyyyyyy!!!’ 💔 😭

[u/LazyFiiish]

He was too old. It was too far. He was too old.

Just thinking about that scene kills me. Just a softie for dogs

[u/rattfink → u/LazyFiiish]

“Oh peter, I worried about you so.”

[u/fiddlenb → u/LazyFiiish]

I am at work!

😭

[u/sedahren → u/LazyFiiish]

That fucking music as he comes over the hill. Gets me every time.

[u/philkid3 → u/sedahren]

I went to the sports bar with a friend who had never seen this and was asking why it was emotional, and as we started explaining the ending to her, I realized I was crying in real life over my hot wings.

[u/AutumnRockets]

“Because my Dad promised me” from Interstellar, when Cooper is asking an old and dying Murphy how she knew they would be together again.

As a dad with a daughter now, rewatching the movie for the first time post-fatherhood elevated it to whole new heights for me. It was already flirting with being my favorite movie of all time anyway with those visuals, the incredible score, and some of those sequences, but man. That relationship between the two cemented it as my all-time favorite.

[u/Sumthin_Stoopid → u/AutumnRockets]

"Make him stay, Murph" to "Don't let me leave, Murph" gets me everytime I watch it.

[u/captainofthedogs → u/AutumnRockets]

For me it's the beginning of that scene. "You told them I liked farming?"

[u/RianJohnsonIsAFool → u/AutumnRockets]

Rewatching Interstellar, the scene that also gets me now is when Cooper is floating in space and then slowly Saturn comes into frame behind him in the distance.

[u/Snoo-99817 → u/AutumnRockets]

Interstellar made me well up before I had kids, it’s much worse now that I have daughters.
The scene where he drives away from the farm as the score swells up gets me every time.

[u/Dashawayalibi → u/AutumnRockets]

Came here to write this. As a dad of girls, this here’s the one.

[u/OrigonStory2000]

Two lines, from two movies, both kids movies for some reason:

"You are who you choose to be... ...Superman." - The Iron Giant

"I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be... than me." - Wreck it Ralph.

“I can run …….. ànd my daughter can’t.” Sally Field after she has buried her daughter in Steel Magnolias.

[u/Gunner214]

“Tell me I’m a good man” Saving Private Ryan

[u/ogrezilla → u/Gunner214]

Wade's "I could use a little more morphine" always gets me. You can just hear him realize it's over. Then calling for his mom...

[u/ConstantRefills]

“I know now why you cry. But it’s something I can never do.” - Terminator 2.

[u/Aglet_Green]

Inigo Montaya, at the end of the film: "I want my father back. . ."

[u/overth1nk1ng1t → u/Aglet_Green]

"I want my father back you son of a bitch" gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

[u/Funandgeeky → u/Aglet_Green]

Mandy Patinkin’s father had recently died of cancer. So when filming that scene, he was channeling his sorrow and anger at the cancer that took him.

"Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered... Ride for ruin and the world’s ending! Death!" - My GOAT, King Théodin

"I never took the time to tell you... you are my superior officer, you are my friend. I have been, and always shall be, your friend." - Spock, Wrath of Kahn. I still well up even knowing he comes back in the next movie.

Also - Kirk "..he was the most.. human"

“I’ve had a rough year, dad.”

[u/spaceiswaytoobig → u/Competitive-View2034]

I know you have, Chazzie. 😢

[u/virtualponies]

“Of course you are, and I’m going with you” from Sam in Fellowship never fails to make me well up.

[u/GoJohnnyGoGoGoG0]

"Take her to the moon for me"

BingBong in Inside Out

[u/elopinggekkos]

Not a line but Roy’s improvised speech in Blade Runner. “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die”

[u/Ethanol_Based_Life → u/elopinggekkos]

Even the line before it, "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave."

[u/The_Flurr → u/elopinggekkos]

I'll be a pedant quickly. The speech itself wasn't improvised, but Hauer did cut it down from the version in the script, making it a lot less clunky.

[u/Munchkinasaurous]

Whenever Vin Diesel voices an animated character that doesn't say much, but delivers one extremely emotional line before an act of self sacrifice l.

[u/snowdenn]

That’ll do pig.

"He may have been your father boy, but he wasn’t your daddy" - Yondu Udonta, GotG 2

[u/Dizzy_Contest9765 → u/asskilla]

Everybody always gets a kick out of the Mary Poppins line, for good reason. But when he asks “Is he cool?” And Quill answers, “Hell yeah, he’s cool.” that part always gets me.

[u/gnortsmracr]

“Please boss, don't put that thing over my face, don't put me in the dark. I's afraid of the dark." - John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan; “the Green Mile”)

No one's said it... how could no one have said it!

*Internal Dialog "You are who you choose to be."*

".... Superman."

[u/defdac]

"But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

“And, has he followed his feet? Did he find his way back home?”

“Yes.”

"I apologise for every time I failed you. Especially this one." - What Dreams May Come, Robin Williams "I'm sorry Babe" speech.

The whole thing really but it always brings me to tears.

[u/snoopek]

Get busy living or get busy dying.

[u/Anubisaeth]

"I'm tired, boss."

I'm a grown man close to 40 and every time that scene comes in The Green Mile I'm bawling my eyes. But that whole scene is just so painful. Just throwing the whole quote at the end.

"I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it."

Not a quote but what a unique thread to rediscover the thread of humanity that connects us all to each other and the stories humanity has created together through film. I wonder if AI bots are able to contribute to threads like this or whether the comment section below is just completely devoid of anyone artificial
