Iconic movie scenes that had to be paused over & over

Bet you've done it too...

Newsroom December 21 02:07

What are movies but an artistic expression with the most fluid and resonating way of storytelling? There are movies we love to see over and over, be it a link to a warm summer memory or a cherished holiday eve, like that iconic scene in A Walk to Remember where Mandy Moore sang to her love, or foreign films where we had to pause because the lines hit us right in the sweet spot.
