If there was a contest for the best acted, most moving scene in a movie, what would it be? We've come up with a few, but feel free to suggest your own and why.Meryl Streep, Sophie's Choice - explaining what is Sophie's Choice.
Damien Lewis, The Forsyte Saga - after his wife leaves him for another man, Soames Forsyte caresses his wife's empty dress and lets the dam break of decades-long pent up tears.
Ayush Mahesh Khedekar, Slumdog Millionaire - every scene in which he plays the young Jamal
Christian Bale, Empire of the Sun - showing the wonder of being a child, oblivious to the dangers of war
Johnny Depp, Nick of Time - reacting to the impossible choice of having to kill a highly placed public figure in order to save his kidnapped daughter's life
Toshiro Mifune, High and Low - the scene of panic he experiences on the train when he can't open the window to throw the ransom money to the kidnappers to retrieve his child
Guy Pierce, L.A. Confidential - walking the tightrope of extreme ambition vs integrity vs lust
Jake Gyllenhaal, October Sky - a convincing performance of a boy from a dingy little West Virginia coal town who looks at the sky and imagines a future as a rocket scientist. About as likely as a pig with wings. Or so says your father. But maybe your dream will come true with the guidance of a dedicated teacher and the support of everyone in town.
