I have so many to name a few
1. When they finally have their hit song "My Girl" and the scene cuts to Al and Johnnie Mae I love their facial expressions

2. The scene in which David snatches the mic

3. When Mama Haze tell Otis she has cancer( I cry on that one) as well as when Blue tells Otis that Lamont has passed away.

4. The scene where Lamont and Otis are playing basketball and he asks his dad to step up and be his father.

5. The scene Eddie goes to davids house to convince him to come back for the reunion when david says "i wasnt fired i quit" lol

6. The Funeral for Melvin was so sad as they replayed past scenes, and the song by Smokey was great

7. The rehearsal when the group is back together for that brief period is touching.
This is just to name a few there are so many, One thing I would like to add I wonder does Otis feel guilt about not letting Paul or David rejoin the group maybe if he had the tragic things wouldnt have happened, and why didnt the other guys in the group ever override Otis in making the decisions anyway they could have left him and formed their own group. Hell can Otis even sing I have never heard him?

1. David with his "Assistant" in the Limo, "David Ruffin and the,...what's their name?"

2. David in the Stash/Crack House, telling the dealer he's a star and trying to give him tickets to a show for some drugs,...a show that's already happened.

I love this entire movie, but I will say the main scenes that have stuck with me are
1) David gets fired. His reaction was perfect! "Yall ain't nothing without me! I made y'all!" Lol, I still quote this to my friends even though most of them have no clue what I'm talking about.
2) When they were singing "Just my imagination " and looked up and Eddy was gone. I liked it cause that's one of my favorite songs and also it showed that Eddy is gonna have his best friend's back no matter what.
3) Paul's suicide. That scene gets me every time. The song "Papa was a rolling stone " playing and then the struggle that Paul is going through playing out on the screen and then at the end "boom!" It really is a sad part in the movie
