Saddest Deaths in Movies

SARCASM When Optimus Prime died in the 1985 Transformers movie and didn't come back. :cry: SARCASM

Mufasa! :cry:Neon-Tiger

Still makes me tear up. Scar you jerk...

Oh and this one from Land Before Time, I cried too

This is whats wrong with kids movies these days, they don't try to scar kids for life.

Mufasa! :cry:Neon-Tiger

Don't know what to choose. Too many to choose from....:cry:

Probably Jack from Titanic....

His death served as a plot device for the unlit sequel.

I found Morgan's death at the end of The Last Man on Earth to be sad, in a "you just killed the only man who could save humanity," sort of way.

I "pft" at your choices.

1) Seth Brundle, from The Fly.

2) Boromir, from Lord of the Rings.

3) Spock, from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Man I saw The Fly again recently and that movie does not age in the slightest. It is still my favorite Cronenberg film next to Videodrome. Such a tragic ending. Its a shame it gets thrown into the gross out horror genre, but it is so much more than that. I have never seen a film that shows the tragic downfall of a good man in such a brutal way. I really want to see Jeff Goldblum in more films, he was in one last year called Adam Resurrected that was pretty good.

Yeah, it's an AMAZING movie. One of my favorite movies ever. It really is simply brilliant. Sure, it does appeal to the gross-out gore fan, but it was about so much more than that. As you said, it was one of the most effective portrayals of the downfall of man that I've ever seen.

I think its biggest strength is that the science fiction setting was merely a means of dealing with some far deeper and more universal human concerns. It is disturbing in its themes of death, loss, and decay, which are the kinds of universal things that most people seem to be worried about in their daily lives. And even beyond that, it was a simply lovely and truly romantic movie about love. Both the horrible places where love may take us, and in the ways in which love can transcend all else.

It is SUCH a wonderful, smart, and richly-layered movie, and it still stands as one of the finest movies that the science fiction genre has ever offered to a large audience.

But at the end of the movie, I weep. Uncontrollably. Every single goddamn time I see that movie, and I've seen it a LOT.

These are my choices.

1. Seth Brundle- The fly

2. Hazel- Watership down

3. Maude- Harold and maude

4. Ben- Night of the living dead

5. Jack carter- Get Carter

6. Belle Rosen- The Poseidon Adventure

7. Quint- Jaws

8. Ken- In Bruges

9. Daniel Dravot- The Man who would be king

10. Archy Hamilton- Gallipoli

11. Elias- Platoon

12. Harry Morant- Breaker morant

13. James Cole- 12 Monkeys

14. Leon- The Professional

15. Adore loomis- Day of the locust

16. Brandon Teena- Boys dont cry

17. John Merrick- The Elephant man

18. Boromir- Lord of the rings: Fellowship of the ring

19. Maurice Russell- Venus

20. Colonel Nicholson- Bridge on the river kwai

*Braveheart Spoilers* I thought it was really sad when Williams wife dies in Braveheart. Kind of sad when William dies to, but more in an epic, inspirational sort of way.alphamale1989

Beautiful Movie.

I think it is too easily dismissed as a horror film. Like you said it may appeal to that crowd but it has a lot more going for it as well. It is one of the few films that is really unflinching in how it shows the decay of Seth. Those special effects really stand the test of time, the hand melting effect at the end before seth is shot was so brutal. Most films would show at least one nice thing to distract you from the pain of Seth, but the fly really goes out of it's way to show a good man going through such pain and anguish. It is one of the few remakes that is better than the original in every way, the old Vincent price film is fun but it is nothing like the remake.

Old Yeller, Mufasa, and Little Foot's mother in A Land Before Time. Old Yeller is probably the saddest (I love dogs). I don't get sad during death scenes any more, but I can still appreciate them when they're well done.

ARTAX! Peter Jackson's King Kong was pretty damn heart-wrenching..

*spoilers for Bridge to Terabithia and Grave of the Fireflies*

..also Leslie Burke and Setsuko.

The first ones that spring to mind are the horribly pathetic death of Xiu Xiu in "Xiu Xiu The Sent Down Girl" and Tamura's willing death in "Fires on the Plains".

Beautiful Movie.

The director in Tropic Thunder.

BOOM! He's dead *sheds a tear*

The Last Samurai, Katsumoto asking Tom Cruise to let him die and as he is dieing he sees the perfect cherry blossoms and the army bows around him.

Bridge to Terabithia. /thread_en1gma_

That is a very underrated film. I thought it was pretty good, but the trailers really tricked people into thinking they were going to see a nice happy kids movie. I havent read it yet, but I heard the book is much darker than the film.

arny getting shut down in the terminator.hawkboy_4

don't worry he will be back .

Maybe it's just cause i was in elementary school when i first saw Hardball or the fact that i have been working with inner city kids for a while now, but i still choke up everytime I watch Hardball and g-baby dies.
