Iron Giant!

SPOILER WARNING!


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

SPOILER ENDS.

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.

Owens' death scene in Children of Men is pretty great

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.

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.

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

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.

Dying is easy; comedy is hard.

Always thought that would make a fine skull tattoo.
