Talking about love is like dancing about architecture.
-Playing By Heart
Please, God, I want only for my son. I beg you. I will do whatever is your will. I will purchase ten kilos of the finest seed and I will find an American mosque and I will feed them to all the birds outside. I will let the birds cover me and peck out my eyes!
-House of Sand and Fog
Homer Parrish: I was afraid you wouldn't be able to stand up for me.
Fred Derry: I'd stand up for you, kid, til I drop.
-The Best Years of Our Lives
So in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I'd like to think this isn't weakness or... evasion... but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness.

This one is classic but Schindler's List gets me bawling every time.
That and, this is going a bit off topic, but some documentaries. In Psychology class my teacher would sometimes put on documentaries taken from inside mental institutions. Many of the *insert random curse words here* in my class would laugh at the patients while I usually ended up with tears in my eyes. I could never understand how whatever divine force landed us here could ever allow for people to live their lives like that..

And a picture worth a thousand words. When William Hurt sees the French boy running, then Geena Davis looks over at the cab, and beams at him, in the very final minute of ACCIDENTAL TOURIST. Never fails to get me. It replaced the previous heart-tugger, Audrey holding the cat in the rain in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS.

And let's face it, so much of the rest of the movie is pretty drawn out and arch. The dreadful Rooney performance that belongs in another movie (one the negatives have long been destroyed for), the strained faux romantic scenes with Peppard, and even Audrey isn't always at her best, relying on strangulated line readings. Yet we get there to that end, and it's devastating, the highest stakes. It suddenly feels like a universal experience.

THE SWEET HEREAFTER
I remember wrenching the steering wheel to the right and slapping my foot against the brake petal. I wasn't the driver anymore. The bus was like this huge wave about to break over us. Bear Otto, the Lambston kids, the Hamiltons, the Prescotts, the teenaged boys and girls from Bartlett Hill Road, Pete, Suzy, Laura, Rick, Sean Walker, Nicole Burnell, Billy Ansel's twins, Jessica and Mason... all the children of my town.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

DOODLE! Once again we are on the same wavelength. The Joy Luck Club is so underrated. And though it sounds cheesey, I have always wanted to see it as a musical on stage.
And from robbiej's scene: "Nothing but death can keep me from it!" I was a sobbing the first time I saw that in the theatre.
Though there is no dialogue, the final scene from Empire of the Sun leaves me an absolute hysterical mess. Just hearing that song gives me goosebumps every time.
And from Beautiful Thing:
Ste: Do you think I'm queer?
Jamie Gangel: It don't matter what I think.
There is so much tension and honesty in that scene, I can hardly bear to watch it because the memories just come flooding back. I feel as scared and nervous as the characters do.

Not exactly a line, but in SCHINDLER'S LIST when, at the end, Schindler is holding the ring that the prisoners have made him, and he starts crying, saying that the gold in that ring could have saved two more people. It gets me every time.
