Well, the part when Dr. Treves cried when he first saw Merrick, because that cry was so natural.
According to the trivia section for this movie, Anthony Hopkins applied method acting in that scene by thinking of his sick father.

When he meets the wife. "I've never been treated this way by a beautiful woman before" or a line close to that. There were many other scenes, but that one was probably the most.

My favourite is when john said to doctor that he want to sleep like normal man. It made me think about his mental conditionhis hopes.. and his positive attitude toward his cruel life. and the end scene where john decided to sleep like a normal man is really breath taking
This is the first movie that made me cry. -

I absolutely love the part when he is attending the opera. It seemed to be the moment that he was offically accepted into Victorian British society. Compared to how people reacted to him earlier in the film, it was extremely moving.

Soon as Adagio for Strings began in the end. I knew he was going to end his life, that was the most moving part, and as soon as he signed his church model and said "It'sfinished", i knew he was definitely going to.

The most moving scene for me was when Treves first sees Merrick at the beginning of the film and begins to cry his response is immediately one of compassion.
I knew right away that it was going to be a special movie. -

So far (I haven't finished the movie yet, but I already know how John Merrick really died), the scene that made me cry was when he breaks down in front of Mrs. Treves and says something like, "Forgive me, but I have never been treated so kindly by such a beautiful woman."
I love only what a person has written with his own blood.

There are so many, but one that gets me is when Merrick is working on his model of the cathedral and spills some paint and says to himself, "I must be more careful." It's just such a quiet little voice, and it shows (for me anyway) how gentle and innocent he was. It saddens me that such a beautiful person had to suffer so much.
(BTW, it's sad when ANYONE suffers, but especially innocents.) -

For me, it's the scene where John recites the 23rd Psalm to the astonishmnent of Treves and Carr-Gomm. It becomes clear that John is an intelligent and sensitive individual who has endured unimaginable suffering. The sound of John reciting the 'Lord is My Shepherd' drifting down the staircase as the pair are leaving and Treves' subsequent joyous disbelief is a very powerful moment in the film for me.
