I love your list. From The Color Purple, I can watch Celie's reunion with her kids over and over and cry every time. I'm maudlin like dat.
One of my all-time favorite movie moments is from The Last of the Mohicans when Hawkeye says to Cora: You be strong, you survive...you stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you!
