[spoiler:edc2fb109f]It's baby Jack's b-day, Brendan Fraser's character (Ben, Cox's best friend who had been diagnosed with cancer) comes back into town and starts hanging out with Cox again. Cox ends up leaving J.D. at the hospital and during this time a patient dies. Cox gets pissed at J.D. and the fact that he can't leave him alone to do anything. Afterwards, Cox and Ben pretty much hang out for the rest of the episode, Ben keeps urging Cox to forgive J.D. for the dead patient. At the end, J.D. and Cox are walking together.

Turns out the patient that died at the beginning of the episode was Ben, and they were heading to his funeral.

It worked out great, but you have to feel sorry for the guy who trained rigorously just so he could get 5 seconds of screen time and fall down.
He got to learn how to throw a sword around, threw said sword around in harrison ford's general direction, and not actually die in real life afterwards.

That situation is win.
i love how that scene is held up as a microcosm of american orientalism.
[spoiler:ab1a832f8f]Kill Bill - When The Bride faces off against the Crazy 88, and the sheer tension of her fight with O-Ren Ishii.
Pan's Labyrinth - The ending. So bittersweet. Also, that monster in the room with the feast on the table... yikes.
Fellowship Of The Ring - The entire film. I think the only time it runs out of steam is at the very end. Yeah, there's Boromir's death there, and that's very well done. But for me, up until the time they leave Lothlorien, the film was perfect through and through.
Return Of The King - "DEATH!" I was jumping in my seat in the cinema... and so was everyone around me. Also, "You bow to no-one."
Troy - Not a great film? Maybe. But when Priam stands weeping as his city goes up in flames... let's just say that it is some of the best acting I have ever seen.
Prince Of Egypt - The Plagues. Visually and aurally, the sequence is just stunning. When I saw it in the cinema, it was filled half with adults, and half with children. The entire room was utterly silent during the killing of the first-born. Also, when Moses parts the Red Sea - some of the best animation I've witnessed.
Kagemusha - The look on the impostor's face at the very end as he surveys the battlefield.
The Phantom Menace - Not a great film? Sure. But that lightsaber duel has, I believe, yet to be bettered. It doesn't have the lightning-quick grace of Anakin and Obi-Wan's duel in Revenge, it doesn't have the speed of Yoda's duels, and it doesn't have the emotional investment in Empire and Return. But it is awesome all the same, a certain rhythm or cadence that just fits so perfectly. Yeah, the laser doors were stupid. Qui-Gon's death was spoiled by Obi-Wan's yell in the trailer, and the announcement on the OST. But still, when the door opens and Maul is revealed, and the two Jedi confidently step forward... I thought it was amazing. And I still do.
Dog Soldiers - "...there is no Spoon."
Brotherhood Of The Wolf - Mani fights The Beast.
V For Vendetta - V's speech when introducing himself to Evey. That, and his "orchestra"...[/spoiler:ab1a832f8f]
Rohan on
...and I thought of how all those people died, and what a good death that is. That nobody can blame you for it, because everyone else died along with you, and it is the fault of none, save those who did the killing.
o shits, Futurama, in the Luck of the Fryish episode, the final scene when Fry learns the truth in the orbiting graveyard.
holy. shit. that scene. holy. shit.
That episode was sad. However I found that the episode with Fry's dog was more sad. When you find out that the dog actually waited for Fry his whole life just makes me sad, writing this is making me all sad and teary eyed.

Bernard Abbott: We're the United States Government! We don't deal with that sort of thing.
Martin Bishop: You're just gonna have to try.
Bernard Abbott: All right, I'll see what I can do.
Whistler: Thank you very much. That's all I ask.
and then Whistler goes to shake no one's hand. Really, that whole scene is great.

Man, I didn't think anyone else in the world liked Sneakers. I loved that movie. The music in it was great, too.
I still can't believe that Davy Jones' face was entirely CGI.
His face? Man, ALL of him is CG. Same with the crew. All the actors were dressed in the black jumpsuits. When I was watching the film in theater I was sure it was prosthetics enhanced by CG. But yeah, they're completely computer generated.
So I just bought the Firefly DVDs and am watching them for the first time. The most bad ass part so far was when [spoiler:1f72a7c175]the Alliance mole is holding River at gunpoint and Simon is trying to bargain with him, then Mal just walks onto the ship and shoots him.[/spoiler:1f72a7c175]
For some reason, I read that as "Passion of the Christ 2: Dead Man's Chest"
Wouldn't that be a great movie though?
Some people would find a reason to dislike it though. You have the torture of the worlds most-popular deity AND fantasy zombie/seamonster pirates. I think it's win/win.
In Of Mice and Men:
[spoiler:52d2348fdf]when George finds out when Lennie has done. And straight from there all the way through, "Will there be rabbits, George?" "Yeah Lennie, there'll be rabbits." Gary Sinise's acting there is just perfect - especially considering that has got to be a nerve-wracking line to deliver with as well-known and embedded in the popular culture as it is. I'm not a huge Steinbeck fan by any means, but that last scene is heart-breaking.[/spoiler:52d2348fdf]

Did anyone mention Patton's speech? I know it's not really the original or full, but the actual one he recited again for recording (which may or may not have been the same as the one he said to the troops) was lost in a fire.

I think my absolutely favorite scene in Firefly (Although this is subject to change as every time I watch the series I come up with a new 'favorite scene')
[spoiler:3062ff7a77]Is when Jayne betrays Simon and River and Mal has him outside the airlock as Serenity is taking off. The acting and dialogue in that scene was about perfect.[/spoiler:3062ff7a77]
Of course, there's the
[spoiler:3062ff7a77]scene in the last episode when River laughs and Jubal Early says "That was disconcerting."[/spoiler:3062ff7a77]

something about that comedythenBAMTRAGEDY mix that hits me every time, as long as it's not done frequently. Something Positive (the webcomic, for those that don't know) does it sparingly, too, and it really is an emotional sucker-punch every time it happens.
Just for a request, if you're posting episodes from a very plot-driven TV show (24, Lost, etc.), please mention the season as well. I want to know what I can highlight and what I can't!

Yeah, I love a comedy that's good at making you feel some sadness as well. That seems a lot harder to do properly than just make someone laugh.
I just watched it again the other night, and it really is an excellent movie. The fight scenes were revolutionary, the sets, the camera angles, just the feelings it gave you. Remember that scene where Neo walks out of that building, into the Matrix after he's been freed? And that look on his face? And the audience feels the exact same way; everything is different now. Just brilliantly done, still one of my favorite movies of all time.

Yes. Good directing and great acting. Felt so spontaneous too.
My vote goes to pretty much the whole of Back to the Future.
Especially PArt 3, which I felt was the best, and really brought the whole trilogy to a nice conclusion.
