I offer up four movies in the above article that featured death scenes that left a lasting impression on me. What are some of yours?

The fall of Matthew Broderick in Glory?
Tom Hanks withering away in Philadelphia?
Old Yeller?
Spock at the end of the Wrath of Kahn?
Tom in My Girl?

The first one I remember that touched my heart.

Brian's song. A made for TV movie about the football player Brian Piccolo losing his battle with cancer. I remember he was so close to his teammate and it was so sad when he died!!!

I have two movie deaths, which without any doubt are the first ones to come up in my mind.

1: Mufasa in "The Lion King". You can't help feeling sorry for little Simba, even before his evil uncle makes it even worse by blaming his father's death on him. That was a really dark scene for a Disney movie!
2: Jack in "Titanic". Yeah, I guess that we should have seen that one coming. After all, around 1500 people died in that tragedy. But still, you wanted him and Rose to get a happier ending than what they got...

Easy Rider-that final scene where both of the bikers are killed.

Somewhere In Time- Christopher Reeve's character dies of a broken heart and is rejoined with Jane Seymour's character as they walk off together.


Ghost- When Patrick Swayze's character is murdered.

Jacks death in TITANIC
Spocks death in STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN

The movie Beaches. It's hard to get through that movie without crying.

O my yes! Shelby's death in Steel Magnolias! That's a killer! Another similar death scene is Debra Winger in Terms Of Endearment.

In the movie The Butler , when John F. Kennedy died! Wow that was emotional! Seeing the scene with Jackie and all the blood on her dress! My God!

Also in the Butler when Cecil and Gloria's ( Oprah & Forrest) son was killed in Vietnam! The funeral scene was really sad!

I guess going into this thread we know these are spoilers, so...


Billy's (Ed Harris) death, and funeral in Knightriders (1981)
Hazel's death in Watership Down (1978)
James and Hilda Bloggs in When The Wind Blows (1986)
Maude (Ruth Gordon) In Harold And Maude (1971)
Setsuko in Grave Of The Fireflies (1988)

which one?

Roberto Benigni's character in Life is Beautiful

Shelby's death in Steel Magnolias! That's a killer! Another similar death scene is Debra Winger in Terms Of Endearment.

:nod:

Zira and Cornelius from Escape From The Planet Of The Apes. I still (sort of) despise you Eric Braeden.

The Big Street-Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda, her death at the end just when her character started to get likeable.
The Champ-The Original Jackie Cooper's performance at the end of the movie was fantastic, will have you crying big time.
Steel Magnolias-Superb ending just when you're sobbing you start laughing at Olympia Dukakis telling Sally to hit weeser just to break things up.
The Outsiders-The death of Dallas at the end very tragic.
Terms Of Endearment-The kids crying made me cry, very moving.

Bambi's mother in "Bambi"

I try to avoid sad movies with someone dying for I cry so much. I do remember wicked Jane Wyman in The Yearling and I criedseeing Claude Yarmin pet die.
