My dad, a WW2 navy vet cried through this movie. He was not an emotional man normally

[FloridaMel]

I had the distinct honor of meeting Mr. Russell several times. He was a very nice, down to earth man.

[guslakis]

The reaction of his mother is of course heartbreaking, but his dad putting on a brave face to hide his mom’s pain from Homer hit me hard as well.

[davemartin]

The actress playing Homer’s mother certainly made the most of what was a very brief part in this scene. The sound she makes in reaction to seeing those hooks for the first time is a gut punch.

[sheilyanadelman]

This movie I consider to be one of the best films produced in Hollywood. Everything about it, the actors, the music, the story, etc.surpass movies of today.

[cgeorge]

There are parts from this movie that represent the best of humanity, the best of America and the best of cinematography.

[michaellewis]

One of the greatest movies ever made. Love this scene

[jdmarr]

Mom saw this movie when it first came out in theaters.
In 1976, it was playing in a local theater & Mom met my sister & I there to see it.
When the DVD of this movie came out, I purchased a copy for my mother & another for me.
Mom's gone now, but I still have my copy.
In short, The Best Years of Our Lives has really stood the test of time for us & for so many others.

[MrRick]

the look on his mothers face when she saw his hooks instead of his  real hands.i saw this clip many times and I still get  watery eyes

[coffeeboss]

This movie is astonishingly good. I finally just saw it a few years ago and was surprised at how contemporary (and unfortunately timeless) it was.

[ftsjr]

An awesome film. Probably the best depiction of the problems that servicemen face when returning home from war.

[tiffsaver]

I've been watching and admiring this great film for over fifty-years, and I STILL never tire of it.  It still makes me cry like a baby every time I watch it.  That's got to be a new world record :)

[BRuane-pwxq]

One of greatest if not The greatest film, a sentiment shared by many including Bette Davis.

[sshannon]

Great scene..great movie...they waited until they saw that everything was ok..then they left....they made sure that he was well received...that he was home....

[tomhartman]

This is the scene that had everyone in the theater crying their eyes out back in 1946. And who could blame them?

[custardflan]

I like how they cut the hedge lower between the two houses in that one spot. Remnds me of the neighborhood I gre w up in.

[telephilia]

A movie you can see again and again. And, rare for Hollywood, a noble film.

[LouisL]

Classic movie - one of my top 5 of all time. Note to Hollywood - please do not attempt to remake this, you'll fail

[eliaz]

I cannot watch that scene without getting tears in my eyes,

[jimkornacki]

What a great movie! It helps applaud the greatest generation!
