On Idol Chatter, Kris Rasmussen has come up with a two-part list of haunting moments in movies that is well worth exploring and every one of the films and those added by the commenters is a worthy addition to your Netflix queue.
I like her definition of “haunting” — “cinematic points in time that bring revelation to our souls in some big or small way.”
The moments that haunt me tend to involve extraordinary kindness or devotion. Some that I would add:
1. The last moment in Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights
2. “Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father’s passin.’” In To Kill a Mockingbird
3. Helen Keller learns about language in The Miracle Worker
4. A family farewell in A Man for All Seasons
5. Erin Brockovich

I teared up just reading the line from _To Kill a Mockingbird_. What a moment!

Thanks, Wendy. The last line always gets me, too:
“He turned out the light and went into Jem’s room. He would be there all night, and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.”
