For me it would have to be the part where he meets the actress and they are reciting an excerpt from Romeo and Juliet- when she says, "Oh, you're not an Elephant Man at all, Mr. Merrick you're a Romeo." And then John Merrick shed a tear. At this part I bawled.
Any one who got through watching the elephant man without being moved, is not someone I'd want to know!
What about you? -

There are so many
A subtle one that springs to mind is when the matron runs up the stairs shouting that John had been found with an ecstatic smile on her face, after being so stern with John originally.
I love the way her character started off dismissing John as a hopeless case, then adopting her "well, i clean and care for him, don't i?" attitude to, eventually, adoration. -

That is the scene that made me a HUGE Hopkins fan. The range of emotions you see on Treves' face w/o saying a single word is amazing.and then the tear. You got it right LittleSongbird..Extraordinary.

Where he begins to cry after meeting Treves's wife when he thanks the doctor, Carr Gomm and nurse Mothershead when they tell him he's going to stay at the hospital, and they give him a present those two will stick with me forever.

Mine was where he talked about his mother. It really got to me. His mother was the person loved him for so long, and yet he thought he was a failure in his eyes.
If you have NOTICED this NOTICE then you may have NOTICED that this NOTICE is not worth NOTICING. -

The last scene i must say. His owner once told that if he lies he will die. Then he made the statement that his not an animal or an elephant but a human being. He finaly saw the drawing with the sleeping person and decided to die(sleep) like as a normal person. Excelent movie
