Answer 2

The Reader - Kate Winslet is testifying in the World Court and narrating her role in the murder of women during the Holocaust. The entire court scene, including the dialogue, makes you think.



Requiem for a Dream - Towards the end after the hospital scene where you see the characters coming to terms with their fate.



Brown v. Board of Education - Again, the court scenes



To Kill a Mockingbird - The court scenes



Milk - the entire movie really.

Answer 3

I think the scenes that have affected me the most was in Schindler's List. The movie was entirely in black and white, with the only color being the red coat of a little girl that Schindler only saw at a distance. Then there was no color again until later in the movie when you saw a cart of dead bodies and there was the red coat. It made me gasp. There was no dialogue, just a dramatic visual.

Answer 4

"The Basketball Diaries"-- If you haven't seen this, go watch it now!



The whole movie is absolutely fantastic and based on the life of Jim Carroll, a punk rocker and poet (He actually passed away last year).



One of the most powerful scenes in the movie is when Jim's (played by a young Leo DiCaprio) friend, Bobby, dies at the age of 16 from cancer.



Another is when Jim is going through detox from heroin in his friends apartment.

The entire movie is just awesome.



"SLC Punk" has a scene where "Heroin Bob" dies from a drug overdose, even though he got his nickname from absolutely detesting any kind of drug. Matthew Lilliard plays his friend and finds him dead in their apartment. Pretty powerful stuff.

The scene in Revolutionary Road, when Kate Winslet is standing at the window, and the bloody drips on the carpet.
