Movie deaths that stayed with you... (1 Viewer)

[MarkHastings]

From Dusk Till Dawn:When the young boy is being eaten by the vampires and is begging to be killed. This always freaked me out.

Not sure how many even know of this, but...
O'Hara's Wife (with Ed Asner):When he finally wakes up in the end and realizes she's gone for good.
Oh MAN! Just typing that has got me all choked up...plus, add the "I'm Never Gonna Say Goodbye" song and... :frowning:

 

[Mary M S]

Attempted Murder:
“The Village”
When Noah stabs Lucius, shocking in its quietness.

Bambi
You must learn to walk alone

Sophies Choice
Not Sophies death which seemed (of sorts) a release, but literally the moment in the film which reveals the choice she had to make. I can’t stand it.

“The End of the Affair”
When Marice starts the film with the line which leads the viewer into the account of the history prior to Sarah’s death,
“This is a diary of hate”.

“Lonesome Dove”
Augustus McCrae

“Penny Serenade” 1941 with Cary Grant
Total tearjerker intended to be and does it very well. The scene with “Applejack” taking over the bath for the nervous new mom is an utter classic.

“The Green Mile”
the executions mentioned stuck with me too. And ‘jingles’ getting stomped, tore my heart out!

“The Ghost & Mrs Muir”
not so much her death, although I used to cry a river. But The Captain, saying goodbye (the death of their current relationship), leaving her alone in "life" to ‘steer her own course” whether she meets “fair winds or foul”
Freeze the scene when his lips almost touch hers, as he leans over her bed; one of best looking single frames in B&W history.

Northfork; bizzare movie I love, most viewers have to play the DVD extras’ to even ‘get it’.
..the whole movie, revolves around death & letting go. and in the extras when Nick Nolte explains what he learned during his own mothers death.

White Squall
when Sheldons wife is looking up through the port as the vessel sinks, and the boy trapped underdecks is talking himself out of panic as the electricity shorts

"Rob Roy"
I thought the death of Rob's man in the forest as he is being robbed very well done, his last death strecth to hide the gold in the tree with the chilling Tim Roth showing him he has it in his hands, before he digs the blade deeper interposed with the ballad of "Ailein Duinn." Flipping between the death chase and the group at fireside listening to the plaintive lovesong very effectivly done. The morbid translation of Alilein Dunn making it an all the more suitable and underappreciated choice. Most realistic swordfights of any movie filmed.

Lots of movie deaths shock me during their launch : Aliens, Silence of the Lambs, Braveheart (really Murron’s throatcutting was bad)
etc, but few stay with me.

 

[Dwayne]

Boys Don't Cry
When Brandon gets killed. Simply disturbing.

 

[StephenC]

My Dog Skip
Godzilla vs Destroyer

 

[MikeRS]

The Fly

Brundlefly slowly placing the barrel of the shotgun to his forehead, indicating what he wants Veronica to do.

 

[Rhett_Y]

The fly scene always got to me... I think it has more to do with the music that is playing in the background... Very very sad...

For me:

Foxes

When the blond dies, can't remember her name,,,, She is in the hospital after the car accident and you see her spit up blood into the oxygen mask... Man that scene is still with me....


E.R. I think it was E.R...

The one where the lady was robbed and shot... and the husband comes in and says "she just went to get us some coffee.."... man that scene always gets to me.... She ends up dying of her injuries but the husband tears me apart...


Better luck tomorrow

When ben goes off and beats the hell out of the one kid in the garage..... Brutal


NYPD Blue

When Det. Sipawits (Sp?) is after the serial killer and they find someone who can testify against him, and the killer ends up cutting the witness in pieces and is stuffing the pieces in a bag in the bathroom when sipawits comes in and arrests him... That is a freaking brutal scene for T.V.


R~

 

[Britton]

John, I think I'd have to agree with your observation about The Hitcher.

I'd also like to add from The Godfather Part III
Michael Corleone's death. The way he just slumped down in his chair and fell to the ground stuck with me.

And finally from The GodfatherMoe Greene getting one in the eye.

 

[Raasean Asaad]

The Serpent and the Rainbow

Cristof's death, first he was paralyzed but still left concious. Then he had a needle stuck in his eye and finally culminating in being buried alive. jeeezzz..

 

[MichelleB]

Some death scenes that have stuck with me.

Braveheart (My all-time favorite movie):
Just before William Wallace dies from getting his head cut off and while he is being gutted alive, he screams "Freedom!"

Million Dollar Baby:
From the moment she breaks her neck right up to when 'Clint' takes her out of her misery, was really rough for me to watch.

City of Angels:
He comesback to earth and then she dies right after, getting hit by a car!

 

[Neil Joseph]

The Untouchables
when Malone gets shot at his house and grasps onto life before dying

 

[Ryan Wishton]

I remember a lot of things from re-viewings over the years, but I will mention those that stayed with me from the first time I saw them. Ones that would have stayed with me even if I only saw the movie once.

Tina's Death in a Nightmare on Elm Street. While by today's standard it's a little tame and I can see the fake skin in the one shot, it stayed with me from the mid 80's when I saw it on VHS. It was scary back then. The movie did give me nightmares before sequels came along. I wont lie. Johnny Depp's also stayed with me. Some of the ones from Elm Street 3/4 also stayed with me from being so over the top.

The Death of Bambi's mother. I only saw the movie once as a kid.

The Shower one from Psycho. Though film in general doesn't seem to allow one to forget it. It's shown like 100 times on tribute shows, movie awards shows, bla, bla, bla.

Die Hard. Whats his face falling at the end. I don't remember the name. It's been a very long time since I have seen it.

 

[Yee-Ming]

Hans Gruber, played by Alan Rickman (a.k.a. Sheriff of Nottingham, Severus Snape amongst other roles). Nice one, it's a hell of a great shot/effect.

 

[Elizabeth_S]

definitely My Girl

 

[KevinGress]

One I don't think was mentioned and got to me when I saw it,

Casino:

when Nicky (Joe Pesci) and his brother are beaten, stripped, dumped, and then buried alive.


On TV the death that surprised me the most was:

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer:

In season 6, "Villians", Warren. I knew from spoilers that Dark Willow was going to burn him up in fire, but it never said anything about her ripping the skin off of him first. Being distracted by her saying "Bored now", it totally caught me unawares and I just sat in disbelief for 10 or so minutes.

SCORCHY

WARLOCK ARMAGEDDON

GRAVES OF FIREFLIES

[Stephen_L]

The episode with Vincent D'onofrio was from "Homicide" set in my hometown, Baltimore.
