Classic tearjerker scene - Beth's death in Little Women. In my opinion, Danes knocks it out of the park here...perfectly capturing Beth's simple wisdom and purity of the heart and soul. She's practically angelic in her last moments. Danes is aided by Winona Ryder as Jo and composer Thomas Newman's gorgeous score...one of his best.
One line that always alerts the water works to start a-flowin':
"Why does everyone want to go away? I love being home. But I don't like being left behind. And now I am the one going ahead. I am not afraid. I can be brave like you."
