Best farewell scenes in a movie

AliBobbyJ said:
Robert Redford's passing made me think of the scene - sentimental but not mawkish - in "The Way We Were" when Barbara Streisand says goodbye to him in New York and tenderly brushes away the strands of hair that were always falling over his forehead, both of them remembering what they'd had and what they'd missed out on.
What other farewell scenes from films come to mind (not necessarily sad ones?)

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid finale wasn't too shabby either
 
The Day of the Dolphin

It had such a profound effect on me as a kid, I cried for days. Never watched it since. There's just something about the relationship between humans and animals that hits me in the feels.

Shawshank. When Red violates his parole to go and join up with Andy. The monologue when he's buying his coach ticket and is travelling down to Fort Hancock, Texas is brilliant. And the reunion on the beach.

Interesting one with that it is wasn’t the original ending, it was Red on the bus and left it up in the air on whether he met with Andy or not.

Test audiences massively preferred seeing them reunite and the director felt the audience had earnt to see it by that point.

Yeah; pretty sure I read that back in the dim and distant past. Glad Frank Darabont saw sense!

I get why he’d have thought about it but sometimes, you’ve got to have the sentimental ending. The characters and the audience both deserved it.

One of only two films I’ve ever seen my dad cry at, the other one was Saving Private Ryan.

It's actually this:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”

Rutga Hauer actually improvised the final lines, of David Peoples' script, "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." One of the greatest monologues and it was only 42 words long.
