death scenes in the movies

Also, there's that guy in an Antonioni film who sits and doodles flowers in a café then goes and kills himself. That's very affecting. Antonioni didn't trust the actor to do it properly so he just told him to sit in the café and doodle without telling him what the next scene was.

Now we're talking.

It's obvious, I know, but lemme tell ya -- I'm six years old, I'm watching Star Wars for the first time and Ben is killed = deeply upset Ned.

Entertaining death scene: Harry Dean Stanton as Bud in Repo Man. "Beer?" "CIGARETTE!"

And surely we're all agreed that if John Hurt's death in Alien is at the least incredibly memorable. ;-)

Storm Boy- the pelican ohhhhh noooooooooooooo Breaking the waves. Is she the best actress on the planet? yes that one I cant remember her name. M something and the final in my water themed trifecta I know what a pisces is)- Ice storm when the kid dies in the parka. ok one more- the big blue when john marc barr swims orf like flipper, no hes still alive, I saw him at dreamworld on the gold coast jumping for sardines!

'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"

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

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

Nimoy in Star Trek II.

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

SPOILER WARNING!

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

SPOILER ENDS.

MORE!

Elevator scene in The Departed.
Tommy gets made in GoodFellas

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

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!

"All these moments...will be lost in time...like tears...in rain."

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.

Omnes una manet nox

John Hurt in Alien.

What a way to go!

Dying is easy; comedy is hard.

Always thought that would make a fine skull tattoo.
