The 10 Most Emotional Moments on LOST

2. Charlie’s Greatest Hits

Knowing he is about to die, Charlie Pace does what any good musician would do: he compiles his greatest hits to be enjoyed by the people he loves most, namely Claire and Aaron. Obviously, we’re not talking about his greatest musical hits here; the island may have provided many a luxury, but a recording studio was not one of them. No, we’re talking about Charlie’s greatest hits in life: the first time he heard himself on the radio; the day his father taught him how to swim at Butlins; the Christmas his brother Liam gave him the ring he had inherited from their mother; the day he saved a woman from being assaulted outside Covent Garden and she called him a hero; and number one on his list, the day he met Claire.

As if being let in on the most important moments of Charlie’s life wasn’t emotional enough, knowing that Claire never received the note or the ring he left for her was enough to leave viewers in a blubbering mess.

Charlie was a true favorite on Lost, and watching him embrace the role of the hero so selflessly was one of the most unforgettable moments on the entire show.
