My heart breaks every time I hear the broken and misunderstood Cal tell his father: "tonight I even tried to buy your love." Part of the reason is an overwhelming love for James Dean, but most is how real and vulnerable this scene is. Cal finally admits to the most important people in his life what has been troubling him as long as he's lived: jealousy.

8. Finding Nemo

This movie is easily my favorite Disney movie, and this scene is one of many where Marlin underestimates Dory (who ends up being right). I'd like to personally thank Ellen Degeneres for helping to create such a magical childhood for me.

7. Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief

I read all of these books ridiculously fast in middle school, and although the movie is very different from the book it's still one of my favorites. "I think I am the son of Poseidon" is the ultimate getting-back-at-your-haters line. Sorry Luke, spited and rebellious son of Hermes just doesn't cut it around these parts.

6. Tarzan

This is the second out of three Disney movies on this list because in case you haven't noticed, I love Disney. It only took me almost my entire 18 years of living to realize the racial undertones to this movie, and how it is about acceptance of diversity and how some people struggle to do that. In this scene, Tarzan realizes the basics of what makes someone human, and therefore connects him to Jane: a heart, two hands, and two eyes.

5. A Walk to Remember

I'll admit this movie is a little corny, but I need a little corniness to help me get by sometimes. The reason I love this scene so much is how good Shane West is at portraying what we all realize halfway through the song: he is falling in love with her. This is definitely one of the big turning points in the movie, and it is also a beautiful song.

6. Psycho

If this isn't one of your favorite movies ever I don't know what is. While I do love the end scene in all its non-gory creepiness, there is something about Norman's proclamation that "we're all in our private traps" that really gets to me. This movie is truly a work of art, and will hopefully continue to be appreciated in the years to come.

5. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

4. God's Not Dead

If you haven't seen this movie, you really should even if you're not Christian. It makes some really good points about both sides of the creationism and God argument. This scene is the most heightened scene in the movie (I think). When Josh reverts the professors words on himself, I actually remember clapping in the middle of the movie theater. This scene is definitely the turning point in this movie.

3. Beauty and the Beast
