Brits list cinema's most tearjerking scenes from Mufasa's death to ET's goodbye
British film fans have revealed cinema's top tearjerking moments with some of the most heart-wrenching scenes in movie history - from Mufasa's death to E.T. finally saying goodbye making the top 20 Titanic's tearjerking ending has topped a poll of the most emotional movie scenes of all time. The moment in which Rose (Kate Winslet) has to let lover Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) slip beneath the waves was the number one choice in a survey of 2,000 Brits. Rose and Jack's goodbye was cited by 67 per cent of respondents, ahead of Mufasa's tragic death in Disney's The Lion King which took second spot with 59 per cent of those polled. John Coffey's (Michael Clarke Duncan) final utterance before his execution in The Green Mile, 'I'm tired boss,' is in third place with 39 per cent. Rounding out the top five are Forrest Gump's visit to Jenny's grave (36 per cent), and the emotional scene in Schindler's List in which Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) wishes he could have saved more of his Jewish workers from the Nazis (35 per cent). The survey, commissioned by Samsung, also provided some intriguing insights into our movie-watching habits. While once we would have wept as Rose and Jack parted forever in the cinema, vast numbers of us are now reduced to tears by films we watch on our phones. An astonishing seven in ten Brits (71 per cent) have cried at a film or TV show while watching on their devices. Four in 10 say they have been caught crying in public while watching something emotional on their phone, with more than a quarter (26 per cent) saying they tried to cover up their tears. That's despite 56 per cent of us saying crying at emotional programmes or movies has become more socially acceptable than it used to be. Annika Bizon, Samsung mobile experience vice president of product and marketing, said: 'These findings show that people are deeply connected to what they watch, no matter where they are. Whether you're on a plane, a train, or anywhere in between, a phone screen can deliver that powerful, emotional entertainment experience.' The survey also revealed 47 per cent of Brits watch more than five hours of movies on their phone every week. From this month, Brits can do this on the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, which features a cinematic 8-inch display. Bizon added: 'The expansive screen of our new Galaxy Z Fold7 promises that immersive viewing experience on the go, whether you are a film fanatic, gamer or a bit of both.' Top 20 Most Emotional Movie Scenes of All Time 1. Titanic (1997) - 'I'll never let go, Jack' Rose clings to Jack in their freezing final moments in the Atlantic (67 per cent) 2.

And he's still going, with his latest flick,The Phoenician Scheme, having released just weeks ago on May 30. On X (formerly Twitter) fans poured in to celebrate the enduring star for his birthday. "Happy Birthday to one of the best actors in Hollywood," one declared, while another boldly crowned him "Top 5 dead or alive." "Happy birthday to my favorite.
