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. Between our most beloved and relatable characters and pivotal developments or enthralling plots, there’s much that needs to be absorbed and mulled over.
