Wow, yes!
I get emotional every time I see that part.
No idea is a bad idea.

I agree, The Notebook is such a good movie adaptation. :)

In Armageddon, when the father was going to explode the meteor and they (he and his daughter) closed their eyes at the same time and remembered the joyful past when she was young and her dad was playing with her. Still breaks my heart... :(

I have many favorite scenes and many favorite movies. The scenes that sprung to mind when I read this thread's title are:
(1) In The Good, The Bad and The Ugly when Eastwood says to Eli Wallach, "In this world, there are two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
(2) In Amarcord, the peacock scene.
(3) In Les Miserables, the scene when Javert kills himself facing the impotence of not being able to indict Jean Valjean.
(4) In The Third Man when Orson Welles is talking to Joseph Cotton on the ferris wheel and compares human beings to ants, such a callous comparison.
(5) In Dr. Strangelove when the Peter Sellers as the German officer suddenly shouts, "Mein Fuhrer, I can walk" and the rest of the cast strains to maintain a straight face.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 - the scene during the battle of Hogwarts where it shows Remus and Tonks on the floor almost holding hands. It has me in tears every single time.

The Fox and the Hound, that whole movie gets me every time.
I remember having the book with the record of that one, and the music on the record puts you in an emotional mood. I know we had a bunch of them, but the one for Fox and the Hound is the one I remember...

In the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice, when Mr. Darcy declares his love for Elizabeth for the second time and she accepts hi. It is absolutely beautiful.

All of my favorite moments have one thing in common, they are a usually emotionally constipated character admitting to feelings they refused to admit to having about the sunshine character.

One of my favorite moments in a movie is in "The Iron Giant", where Giant thinks Hougaard is dead and freaks out because of it. "The Iron Giant" is one of my childhood favorites.

This is a fun question. One of my favorite moments was in the Cinderella movie. The moment the shoe fit perfectly!
