  3. John Coffey's execution in the Green Mile. Holy shit! "I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time."

  7. In Interstellar, after they get off the water planet having been there only an hour or so, decades have passed on earth(an hour on the water planet is relative to like a decade or something on earth) and he is watching the videos sent to him by his kids and seeing them literally outgrow him in a matter of minutes from video to video. Him knowing he just missed both of his children growing up in a matter of hours.
