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:

Spoiler: (Highlight this box to see the hidden message.)

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:

Spoiler: (Highlight this box to see the hidden message.)

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.

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!
