I remember hearing that a  lot of the extras were refugees. Madeleine Lebeau(Yvonne) and Marcel Dalio (Emil) were married and barely managed to escape France before the Nazis invaded.

Oh, really? Wow, that's makes that scene even better.

Without question. I just re-watched the clip since receiving that piece of information from @Constant Viewer. I'm in tears.

These might not even be the best scenes in their respective movies, but if I ever need an instant pick-me-up, watching the ending scene in Footloose and the hand-jive scene from Grease will do it:

 

Responding 6 years later, but I won't even press play on that Grease scene because I don't feel like crying right now.  Oh god it's so good.

The last 10 minutes of Ghostbusters: Afterlife when the guys show up. I was grinning so hard my face hurt.

"The King of Pride Rock" makes me cry every single time.

It's funny you posted this now.  I've been watching all the Disney animation movies in order and I just did Lion King a few weeks ago.  One of my main takeaways from this one in particular is that the creators didn't let the moment get too big for them.  Everything about this scene from the animation to the score to the direction and editing gives it the tone it deserves.  It's perfect.

The wedding scene in Crazy Rich Asians. That cover of Can't Help Falling in Love is beautiful, and the whole wedding is completely over the top and gorgeous.

Harry’s epiphany in When Harry Met Sally. The moment when the montage of their friendship ends and Sinatra’s “It Had to Be You” kicks in is just perfect.

I'm going to spoiler tag this one because people may still be working their way through the Oscar nominated films before the show next month.

In Banshees of Inisherin

Spoiler

When the cop beats up Padraic and Colm, despite telling Padraic he didn't want to talk to him anymore, still had the decency to help Padraic back onto his wagon and take him most of the way home.  That, plus the way Padraic broke into tears before Colm helped him up, made the scene unbelievably emotional.  It was a brief moment, but so powerful.

One of my favorite movie scenes ever. And one of my favorite music tracks from Hans Zimmer, which is a tough competition, as he's one of my favorite composers.

I feel the same way about John Williams. That is definitely one of the best scenes.

While I just love the movie period, Hans Zimmer's score for Gladiator elevates it even more.
