Saying about people not leaving at the end of a film, I remember that happening when I saw Philadelphia. Along with the ones mentioned above, that has to be one of the most moving films I’ve seen.

That film makes me very angry, brilliant film and very moving,
It’s very easy to understand why it never features in anyone’s list of favourite movies. Maybe there should be a category for most “profoundly moving movie”
I’ve read a lot of reviews of the movie over the years and still find it offensive that there are people who nit-pick over aspects of accuracy, performance, continuity…everything really that I take little notice of.
I know I’m a movie-makers dream…someone who sits in the cinema and is totally taken-in by the story but IMO it’s Speilberg’s crowning glory…beyond criticism.

Second this, along with when he is offered the job .
To go from tears of sadness to tears of joy in a film is pretty rare.

Aye, have been there and Auschwitz. Will never forget either.
Agree, it’s a great film.
Pixar do it loads. Wall-e, the bit with EVA. Also Toy Story 3, the incinerator and ending.
Though have to say, not many films have gotten me in the state Still Alice did. That was brutal.
The final scene of Brokeback Mountain.
Sergeant Elias getting gunned down from behind after being stitched up by that bastard Sergeant Barnes, as their helicopter flies away to safety, leaving poor Elias to die (in Platoon). 
Fuck you Barnes. Fuck you!!!
