'Dancer in the dark' when bjorkus kills the guy!! super tragg with added sacrificial weight, tho thats tragic for her more than him,hmm.

P.S. I think Kevin Spacey dies very well in his movies. ver.ry cornvincing.

P.P.S "Ccorn Nuts"

when macauley culkin dies in 'my girl' although i guess there wasn't a death scene but that was pretty unexpected and tearful.

Not really an affecting scene, but definitely the best death scene ever is when David Caruso bites it in King of New York.

Christoper walken: (driving by in car past cop funeral) Hey, you.
David Caruso: (turns to see who is talking to him, gets shot)

HEY YOU!!! That's brilliant.

I like the one at the end of "Hellraiser" (actually it's perhaps thee only bit I do like, coz I think it's a bit rubbish otherwise)

the coughing fit in 'two hands' is pretty funny

I think any David Caruso scene would be improved with his death.

I hate it when erotic thrillers stupidly focus on the "thriller" element and kill their characters off. I'm a lover, not a fighter.

In Kurusawa's 'Ran,' when Lady Kaeda gets it. She absolutely "deserves" it but it was sad to see such a compelling character die.

And the way Julie Taymor milks Saturnine's death in 'Titus'... w00t!

I just laughed my way through Final Destination 2. So much better than I expected, several great death scenes.

battle royale. 'nuff said.

Woody Harrelson did a great one in The Thin Red Line.

Nimoy in Star Trek II.

The last scene of a Bresson film I won't spoil like The Dreamers did.

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 14:04 (nineteen years ago) link

nimoy? ha you're joking.

piscesboy, Wednesday, 18 May 2005 14:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Iron Giant!

SPOILER WARNING!


But that's only a fake death scene. Admittedly, it did make me cry.

SPOILER ENDS.

Elevator scene in The Departed.
Tommy gets made in GoodFellas

Pleasant Plains, Wednesday, 6 February 2008 15:33 (sixteen years ago) link

Roy Batty in Bladerunner, obv.
Whatever Spike Jonze's character was called in Three Kings.

I cannot remember what its from, but there was one scene where a bunch of gay men are sitting around, watching some movie or something, and one of them - obviously sick - dies in the arms of his partner, and his partner is the only one who realizes it, and he doesn't say anything, but just has this...sad and relieved look on his face. Fucking crushed me.

Maybe And The Band Played On ?

Can't remember...

Owens' death scene in Children of Men is pretty great

Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 6 February 2008 17:15 (sixteen years ago) link

He wasn't definately dead, though. Terrific scene nonetheless. Also, Moore's death! Love love love that film.

Even the randoms getting picked off in the siege towards the end of COM are ten times more powerful than most movie deaths.

blueski, Wednesday, 6 February 2008 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link

An obvious one: Easy Rider

When I first saw it as a young teenager for the first time, I remember feeling so shocked and outraged at the rednecks.

Is this A.H.Balth.? If so, agreed. Amazing ending.

Blade Runner, duh!

This was from an episode of Six Feet Under.

My fave is when the kid gets electrocuted sitting on the guard rail in The Ice Storm.

John Hurt in Alien.

What a way to go!

Dying is easy; comedy is hard.

Always thought that would make a fine skull tattoo.
