1. Garden State - Bathtub scene.
Andrew Largeman: Fuck, this hurts so much.
Sam: I know it hurts. But it's life, and it's real. And sometimes it fucking hurts, but it's life, and it's pretty much all we got.
I feel as though I've grown out of this movie recently. Maybe I just hate Zach Braff. However, that moment is still beautiful. I love a good bathtub scene.
2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - "Am I ugly?" scene.
Clementine: When I was a kid, I thought I was. I can't believe I'm crying already. Sometimes I think people don't understand how lonely it is to be a kid, like you don't matter. So, I'm eight, and I have these toys, these dolls. My favorite is this ugly girl doll who I call Clementine, and I keep yelling at her, "You can't be ugly! Be pretty!" It's weird, like if I can transform her, I would magically change, too.
Even the blanket they're under makes me cry. I love the way this scene was shot. It is truly lovely.
3. Philadelphia - The last hospital scene.
The whole scene is heart wrenching but the moment when Joe puts the oxygen mask back on Andrew's face knocks me over. It is intimate and beautiful. I've taken care of a man dying with AIDS. It was the day in my life where I learned absolute reality, it just was. This scene reminds me of that.
4. Good Will Hunting - "It's not your fault" scene.
Sean: No. Listen to me son. It's not your fault.
Will: I know that.
Sean: It's not your fault.
Sean: It's not your fault.
Will: Don't fuck with me Sean. Not you.
Sean: It's not your fault.
I love that Robin Williams could tame himself for this movie. I love when Will just lets himself go.
5. Brokeback Mountain - Jack's bedroom scene.
This movie depressed me for weeks. It's a "punch you in the gut while you're already down" kind of movie. The second Ennis shows up at Jack's parent's house, you're already sad. When he finds the shirts, if you're not crying and ready to throw up from the sadness, then I don't think you get it. Oh, Heath Ledger, I miss you.
