Immortal Beloved - When Beethoven is on his death bed relieving his nephew from his custody. The silence in the seen makes it the best scene in the movie.  You would have to see it in context, but it proves Gary Oldman is the greatest. Also the scene where the audience bursts into applause at the end of the Ode To Joy and Beethoven doesn't know it, not just because of his deafness, but because he is used to a lack of appreciation. The moment he is assisted by the conductor to look at the audience, I just bawl. The movie is a little cliche at times, but Gary Oldman is the force that keeps it from failing.
