Moving movie moments

I'm a fairly steady person emotionally; happy and calm. I only cry very rarely these days, and when I do it is usually during a movie!

Here are some movie moments which make me cry:

Shakespeare In Love, the scene where Viola (Gwyneth Paltrow) and Will say goodbye.

Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King, the scene where King Théoden (Bernard Hill) dies with Éowyn (Miranda Otto) by his side.

The Shawshank Redemption, as Red (Morgan Freeman) narrates the final scenes.

50 First Dates, the last scene on the boat in Alaska, as Lucy (Drew Barrymore) embraces her daughter and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole sings Somewhere Over the Rainbow with his ukulele.

More to come as I remember them ...
