The teary farewell in the climax of the cult sci-fi hit 'ET' has topped a list of the most emotional moments in film history.
The survey had its share of celebrity voters and one in three, including 'The King's Speech' producer Gareth Unwin and comedian Matt Lucas, picked the scene from the 1982 film, reported Daily Mail online.
A scene from 'Toy Story 3' in which the toys hold hands and prepare to face their fate in a pit of fire, came second with 16 per cent votes in a survey of 2,000 movie fans by education charity Flimclub and Loveflim. Rocky's big fight scene came third with 15 per cent while the moment tragedy touches the life of Bambi was fourth with 13.4 per cent.
The moment when besieged cowboys leap out of their bunker all guns blazing in 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid', came fifth with 13.2 per cent. A scene from the 'Wizard of Oz', when Dorothy opens the door of her grey house onto a world filled with colour came sixth with 3.5 per cent. Battleship Potemkin was in seventh place (3.3 per cent) with the 'Odessa Steps' massacre scene.
