A Night To Remember (1958): the part where Titanic is sinking and the dining room steward is comforting a child.

The Wizard of Oz: when Dorothy is saying goodbye to all her friends in Oz before going home. It was years and years (like when I was an adult) until I realized that the characters in Oz were based on Dorothy's real-life friends on the farm, so of course it wasn't really "good bye".

A very little known movie called Promises in the Dark. Marsha Mason is a pediatrician treating a terminally ill teenage girl. One part, Marsha has gone out for an evening and left the patient with a nurse. She's on a respirator and comatose. The alarm goes off, and the nurse goes through all kinds of heroics to save her. When Marsha returns, she says "You were correct to do what you did. It was not the kindest thing you could have done".

At the end, of course, the girl is in a coma and the "resuscitate" alarm goes off on her monitor. Marsha reaches up without a word and flips it off. The movie closes with her sitting there next to her patient, alone.

ETA: GM3 movies that make you laugh (and what parts)
