Your favorite moments in movies you love.

Your favorite moments in movies you love.

1) The ending of Dances With Wolves (Indian on cliff transitions to wolf on cliff.)

2) The moment when Columbus first sets foot on North American soil in 1492 - Conquest Of Paradise (still gives me chills)

3) The ending of the original Cinema Paradiso (laughing and crying at the same time - blew me away - and the crazy part is that the ending was not originally planned - the director was forced to come up with an alternative to shorten the movie. I am convinced that this ending won it the Academy Award for best foreign film.)

4) Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King - "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you."

5) The original Universal movie The Wolf Man When Larry Talbot asks the Gypsy why they are suddenly closing the festival and breaking camp in such a hurry and the Gypsy replies, "There is a werewolf in the camp." Woooooooo, shivers!

The Notebook, when Noah and Allie are fighting outside of his house. I see it as one of the best and rare expression of love. Couples fight often, because love is also confrontation and stand for yourself and your partner, above all when times gets hard.

How funny, I was about to say a scene from this movie when I saw your response. I love when Allie and Noah are young, laying in the middle of the street. He's opening up a side to her she would never explore on her own. I feel she started questioning things about her life she hadn't questioned before.

I loved that part too. He indeed opened a new world to her. She began to see the freedom that she never had .

Here's one that will cut onions if you are made of flesh and blood ... and it is true.

Once Upon a Time in the West is a fantastic film. The scene I particularly love is when McBain and his family are gunned down, the little boy runs out, and then the fantastic music starts up and those evil men start to step out and walk towards him. It’s a terrible but truly memorable scene.

Letters to Juliet is one of my all time favourite films. Absolutely love every little things about it. The characters, dialogues, plot, soundtrack, scenes, etc. However, my one favourite moment would be the final scene; where Charlie and Sophie profess their love for one another. Simply adorable.

I love in the movie A Walk to Remember when Landon asks Jamie to marry him for the fact that he's helping her realize the top thing on her list before she dies.

My favorite moment is from the movie 'Guardian Of The Galaxy 2'. The starting of the film when Groot dances without a care about where he is while the others are fighting the Alien is the best scene I have ever watched in any film.

One of my favs is Cookie’s Fortune, with Liv Taylor, Glenn Close, Julianne Moore, and Chris O’Donnell. I don’t want to give anything away because those of an older generation like me should really watch this movie. At the reading of Cookie’s will, it was found out that one of Willis’ grandparents was white and related to Cooki’s Husband. After hearing this Cookie’s white granddaughter jumped up with the happiest smile and squealed, oh Willis, does this mean I’m black too? This in no way is meant to be racist. This was a very happy discovery. Just watch the movie so you can laugh since this movie is so darn funny and a good clean movie for all ages!

The Fox and the Hound, that whole movie gets me every time.
