The "butterfly scene " near the end of All Quite on the Western Front(1930)

After surviving so much violence that claimed most of his friends,Paul's hand reaching for a butterfly on day when the official activity report finally reads"all quiet on the Western Front."

Man, you had to go way back for that one.
That film has to be the spiritual godfather of Saving Private Ryan.

As you may expect, All Quiet... was banned in Germany but did you know it was banned in, of all places, Australia as well?
No idea why.

Yeah I kind of stretched the limit of what is reasonable for that one.
The film's incredibly dated but still it's a ending that sticks in my memory.
It's funny that you compare it to Saving Private Ryan because I think that's just about right.If you've ever read the book the ending is much closer to Ryan's too(the director decided at the last minute to go with the bleaker one that he thought suited the message of the movie better).

People have the wrong impression that old film's are all sugar and spice, but a lot were made before the Production Code or Hays Code became widely enforced .Some contain pretty hard stuff.Original cut of King Kong has nudity for example.

There's a movie titled "Coffee and Cigarettes" which is actually a pretty big flop, but it has some great dialogue and scenes. One being....

First identity let my say David Lynch is one screwed up mf
Coffee and Cigarettes-I think the last thing the director Jim Jarmusch cared about was making a commercially successful movie. Iggy Pop and Tom Waits together is just cool Skizo.They didn't really have to even say anything and I was fascinated.

While we're doing diner scenes I'll add an obvious one from Pulp Fiction
