I am brokenhearted by the last moments of the Titanic, when everybody hangs on for dear life to everything they can grasp to keep themselves from falling into the icy water. Father Byles' reciting of Revelation is particularly memorable.
God is subtle, but He is not malicious. (Albert Einstein)

shareDear verbumctf:
Interesting, as I am a TOC.
Dear sarizonana:
"Last of The Mohicans" (1992).
"The Egyptian" (1954) Akhnaton's death scene.
I am certain that there are other's.
Movies, hardly any. I'd say that in "Glory", when the black soldiers are gathered together singing on the eve of battle I find it very moving. For real, when I see old soldiers gathered together, like in Burns' "Civil War" when they show the 1938 Gettysburg gathering. Almost anytime I see gatherings of old WW2 and Korean vets, and now even Vietnam vets I range from misty to bawling. The interviews on "Band of Brothers" have the same effect.
