empire of the son - for sure .. especially the salute scene ..
schindlers list ... most of it - but especially the end - after the movie when the survivors put the rocks on his tombstone .. you suddenly realize it was about real people - embellished or not.
2 scenes that were powerful (but didnt exactly affect me other than to go - 'wow' :
1) Year of the Dragon - John Lone (who almost stole the movie from Rourke) is running at Rourke on the train tracks at the end ... going 'WHAT - What do you want !!!'
the most empassioned performance i've seen by a chinese actor.. i find these people culturally reserved and desperately afraid to give up control(which requires trust) - but this was a huge exception..excellent scene - excellent actor.
2) by the same token - Angel Heart - the scene where Rourkes character realizes who he is - powerful stuff
