SPRs slow stab has been mentioned a number of times. But the opening sequence in the Allied Cemetery is hard for me to watch. It clearly shows the lasting burden of war and survivor guilt. Not a true death scene per se. but very death related. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Band of Brothers, lots of sad ones. Two that come to mind, the church scene where the lost soldiers were faded out, and when Bill Guarnere got hit and lost his legs. Alcohol Tobacco Firearms Who brought the chips and dip? Jim | |||

Christ being whipped to death with all sorts of weaponry in Passion of the Christ. It was excruciating to watch. Entire films I just can't do again, A Clockwork Orange, and Irreversible. Both excellent films and 2 of the best I've ever seen but I don't want to watch either again. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Mel Gibsons new bride getting her throat cut in Braveheart was particularly sad and hard to watch for me. !~God Bless the U.S. Military~! If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off Light travels faster than sound, this is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak | |||

Yeah, that is a tough one to watch. | |||

I concur wholeheartedly and for the same reasons. I'd only add Tom Hanks at the end of Saving Private Ryan telling Ryan to earn it and Ryan visiting his grave hoping he'd done enough to. __________________________________________________________________ Beware the man who has one gun because he probably knows how to use it. | |||

If anyone can watch that movie throughout the end without shedding a few tears, I'd keep my eyes on them. That was one of the most emotional movies I've ever seen. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Yes, totally. I was crying like a little baby as I sat next to my wife watching that movie, thinking how I'd feel in Carl's shoes. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Plowing straight ahead come what may |
This scene haunts me for some reason...I can't bring myself to watch this again. ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

Same here - I tear up every time. Also, the last few minutes of "These Final Hours" Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Kirk: Well done Scotty. Bones: Jim, I think you better get down here. Kirk looks over to Spock's vacant seat on the bridge. Saving Private Ryan Upham: Tell us how to fix you.

Saving Private Ryan definitely. I can't watch the stabbing scene at all. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

It makes it even worse when you can understand what the German soldier is whispering to him: something like "it will be quick, don't fight me, it will be over soon". | |||
