List: Top 3 Goodbye Scenes

This week on Episode 337 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by The Farewell, we thought it would be apt to talk about our favorite goodbye scenes in film. This is one of the more vast topics we’ve done on the show this year. There are countless goodbye scenes in film. Some are perhaps more iconic than others, but no matter which direction you point, there were endless possibilities for our lists. We did our best to narrow down the scenes that spoke to us the most, so maybe this is a more subjective list than usual, but we also love the quality of these moments as well. That said, what would be your Top 3?
