I know that the last movie that touched me deeply was Geraldine Page in "The Trip to Bountiful" 1985, be careful not to pair this with 'The Color Purple'.
Geraldine Page is a revelation in this role.
Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart in 'To Have and Have Not' when she says "you do know how to whistle". That scene is electric and you can just feel the sparks flying between them, get's me everytime.
jervistetch mentioned the last shot in 'City Lights', was amazed myself when I first viewed that, actually surprised how often Chaplin managed to pull on my heart string, can't remember the name of the film that I watched last year it was around 1918 but he is so poor that he is faced with having to go and beg at a church revival but he just can't force himself to do it, the struggle that he shows with himself over it is at once comic genius and very moving.
I can understand why he was so popular, he was doing things on film, way ahead of it's time.
