In 1982, my Dad took me and my brother to see this movie at the cinema. I was 5 years old and months earlier had lost my Mum to breast cancer. Instantly, this movie became my favourite and many a night my Dad put on the soundtrack (a 48" vinyl) on his old record player in the hall for me and my brother to listen to as we drifted off to sleep. I'm now 46 and yesterday my Dad, my brother and I went to watch it in London with a full philharmonic orchestra playing in sync. It was beyond emotional🥲I laughed and cried with my 5 year old heart watching it through my 46 year old eyes. This film and soundtrack was my saviour throughout my childhood and continues to be to this very day. 'I'll be right here....'💖

There’s a very important moral we can learn from this story: Good friends will do whatever is best for each other, even if it means saying goodbye.

A masterpiece.

The days when the movie theatres where places of awe and wonder.

I'm a 35 year old guy and I'm not ashamed to say that tears well up every single time I watch this. Best ending to a movie in cinematic history.

[hunterhottinger]

John Williams and Steven Spielberg made this a freaking masterpiece! One of the best movies in the history of cinema!

Future generations of children not yet born are going to love this. Spielberg has given us a legacy to last forever

I'm almost 53 years of age... and that ending still makes me cry.

“I’ll. Be. Right. Here.”
Music crescendos.
*Guy in audience sobs uncontrollably

One of the best scenes in cinematic history. John Williams score is brilliant at bringing out emotions in this ending.

[tapasprinsen]

Normally a composer creates the music to the edited movie scenes. When Spielberg heard this piece, he recut the ending to fit JW’s music… That’s how good it is! ❤

I had this movie on vhs in early 90s and watched it almost I'm 35 now with a wife and 3 kids and still cry EVERY TIME

[smarterchild]

I have to put my dog down tomorrow. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer in late June and I feel like I've been living this moment for the last 4 months. Tomorrow she'll be getting on that spaceship for the last time. I love you Abigail. More than you will ever know

[kianabell]

I cry my eyes out every time I watch this scene 🥺😭

[olly-kai]

John Williams music is stunning, as usual. A living legend!

[Breadking]

This is among, and possibly is, the greatest and most powerful movie endings of all time.

[tomcoons]

John Williams be carrying this scene so hard

[Plathismo]

The greatest passage of film scoring in history.

The Greatest Moment in Cinematic History

I'm crying. It's so beautifully and masterfully done. Saying goodbye is a beautiful and a normal thing.

I saw this when I was 5 when it first came out in theaters. My dad had to carry me out after I was crying and didn’t stop for a week. Recently watched with my youngest daughter and we both bawled for an hour after the movie ended.
Such a masterpiece.
