The moment
Best friend Chuckie Sullivan has finally had enough of Will Hunting's self pit, and erupts in a moment of passion and wisdom: "No, no, no, no. F--k you, you don't owe it to yourself, you owe it to me, cause tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'll be 50, and I'll still be doin' this s--t. And that's all right. That's fine. I mean, you're sittin' on a winnin' lottery ticket. You're too much of a pussy to cash it in, and that's bulls--t. Cause I'd do f--kin' anything to have what you got. So would any of these f--kin' guys. It'd be an insult to us if you're still here in 20 years. Hangin' around here is a f--kin' waste of your time."

Why we get choked
Despite sharing so many of our best times together, male bonding never usually scratches that emotional surface and sees one friend tell the other why they may respect or admire them. It's often a tacit understanding. When we see and hear this happen on screen it's a cathartic experience.

Maybe it's that moment when Wind in his Hair asks Dances with Wolves if he can see that "he is his friend" and tells him that he "will always be [his] friend" that we missed.

Do you agree that this moment is one of the best?

No, no, it's not this scene, it's the one with Robin Williams repeating "It's not your fault."
