Saddest movie death?

[JumpCutz]

Bambi's mother
Debra Winger - Terms of Endearment
James Caan- Brian's Song
The dog- I Am Legend
Jon Voight-The Champ
Jake Gyllenhaal- Brokeback Mountain
Sean Penn- Milk
Robin Wright- Forrest Gump

Who else?

[resinrats]

I remember feeling sad when the mother died in Beaches.

[Brooklyn]

The kitten at the beginning of Winter Passing.

[bcd]

Anthony Edwards - Top Gun

Still gets me every time...

[danfindlay]

Spock - Wrath of Kahn
Old Yeller
William Wallace - Braveheart

[troystiffler]

To stay topical, Leo in Titanic. Still hearbreaking. Million Dollar Baby. Unacceptably moving and hurtful. Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon. Andy didn't really die. But still moving.


I prefer the epic, uplifting deaths.

Braveheart
Spike in Cowboy Bebop
Arnie in T2
Guy/Girl in Aliens duct chase scene
Italian Guy in The Fall
Leon in The Professional

[Paul1957]

King Kong and any real animal character (Old Yeller), don't know why but when an animal dies in a film It really affects me. Humans:

The girl in Bridge to Terabethia
Michael Clarke Duncan in The Green Mile
Bruce Willis in Armageddon
The two kids in Grave of the Fireflies

[MrSmearkase]

Debra Winger - Terms of Endearment

Very true. I literally just finished watching this for the umpteenth time on one of the HBO channels, and her scene saying goodbye to her two sons still gets me.

[Trout]

Willem Dafoe- Platoon

[rw2516]

Connery-Untouchables

[TallGuyMe]

Michael Keaton in My Life
Old Yeller

[joliom]

Anything with a faithful dog dying. Old Yeller and My Dog Skip are like emotional torture.

[trespoochies]

Roberto Benigni in Life is Beautiful

[starman9000]

Artax in the Neverending Story.

[Michael Corvin]

Ellie Fredricksen - Up

[Dr. DVD]

Very true. I literally just finished watching this for the umpteenth time on one of the HBO channels, and her scene saying goodbye to her two sons still gets me.

Sad fact: my grandmother on my father's side died of cancer when he was only 12. Apparently the last time he ever saw her alive she had a blue bow in her hair just like Debra Winger's character. I was too young to see this in the theater , but my mom said it was the first time she ever saw my dad cry at a movie. I think the second was Marley and Me. Again, animals get to people.

[The Infidel]

Sometimes it's more the response to the death onscreen that gets to you, as opposed to the actual death. I thought Rocky's reaction to Mickey's death was heart-wrenching. Well-played by Stallone.

Another good one along those lines was Ewan McGregor/Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge. You would have thought Nicole was actually dying there in his arms.

[dugan]

E.T.

Even though it's: not permanent

[Hokeyboy]

Pan's Labyrinth...
although you could also argue it's an uplifting death as well. Depending on how much you accept to be reality.

Also, Hooch's death in Turner & Hooch.

Robin Wright- Forrest Gump
Since she was a detestable human being, I didn't find this sad at all.

#1 for me is definitely "Brooks was here"

Since she was a detestable human being, I didn't find this sad at all.

It's the scene and the emotion you feel for Forest that gets you, not Jenny's death. Tom Hanks fuckin' sold that scene.

[argh923]

Marley from Marley and Me. You know the whole movie it's gonna happen, but man...I get teary even thinking about that movie.

Also, Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino.

[SuckaMC]

Robert Duvall and the other astronauts in Deep Impact. That's rough stuff.

:rip: Game over, man. Game over............

[DaveyJoe]

You know, a good way to format responses would be to list the actual movie title first, then the character that dies. That way you can avoid spoiling films for others. It's nice to see the title first so you can keep glancing at further responses to avoid being spoiled. When you start with the character name, by the time you get to the movie it's already been spoiled. If you really want to be thoughtful you could do this:

Movie Title: character died omg

[cpgator]

Robert De Niro in 1900?

are you referring to the vague ending where both De Niro and Depardieu may or may not kill themselves by lying on the train tracks? otherwise, they technically do NOT die in that film.

The second death in Serenity (as if you couldn't guess by my signature!)

seconded.. I hadn't watched the show before seeing the movie. It was very sad , very Whedon but it wasn't until I watched it on DVD ( I had seen the show by then)that it truly ripped my heart out..

[superdeluxe]

For those that have seen the movie Hachiko, here is the reunion scene between Joan Allen's character and Hachiko:

Robert Duvall and the other astronauts in Deep Impact. That's rough stuff.

Bruce Willis in Armageddon... not the death itself, or the cheesy interaction with the daughter, but at the end, when the guy says "I'd like to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I've ever met", that gets me choked up a little.

[Ash Ketchum]

Private Wilhelm, The Charge at Feather River

But what a legacy! :D

[GoldenJCJ]

Private Wilhelm, The Charge at Feather River
Agreed. I just can't get it out of my head. Everywhere I turn, I hear his voice screaming in agony!

[madcougar]

My son cried inconsolably at Marley & Me, so much so that it made me cry.

For those that have seen the movie Hachiko, here is the reunion scene between Joan Allen's character and Hachiko:

http://youtu.be/7vYW3yQzV1c

Still can't bring myself to watch this movie, or the original. I couldn't even watch the clip.

Regarding Jenny in Forrest Gump...yeah I couldn't care less about Jenny herself. She was a bitch. Forrest cared deeply for her though and her death ends up being extremely sad, not because she dies, but because Forrest lost her.

And Balthazar was great one.

[KillerCannibal]

Apollo Creed!

I always thought it was sad when Farnsworth ate a shotgun special in Misery.

Gandalf - Fellowship of the Ring
Josh Harnett's character in Pearl Harbor

Spock in Star Trek 2

Tom Hanks in Philadelphia.

[Mr. Flix]

The first death that came to mind when I saw this thread was Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias. Yes, I know, I should hand in my man card. But I was 14 when I saw that movie and really struggled to hold back tears during Sally Field's graveyard breakdown.

The other death that really ripped me to shreds was Bjork's in Dancer in the Dark.

Now, the cynical part of me needs to point out that I wanted to cheer at the deaths in Forrest Gump and Marley and Me. Jenny and that destructive, completely unlovable dog deserved to die.

[kefrank]

Gandalf - Fellowship of the Ring

Not super sad, but Boromir is another pretty emotional death in Fellowship. Although you question his character throughout the film, there are strong themes of redemption and brotherhood when he dies.

Ghosts -Patrick Swayzeeven though he's already dead, When Demi's character sees his him before he goes to the other side. Gets me all teared up everytime.

[JesseCuster]

Archy Hamilton's (Mark Lee) death at the end of Galiipoli. You know it's probably coming but it's still totally shattering.

The death of Debra Winger's character in Terms of Endearment also gets me. And it's finally because she's one of us. She isn't a superhero. She isn't a soldier. She's just a mom and a wife and she gets cancer and dies. It's too much like reality.

[JumpCutz]

Ghosts -Patrick Swayze

Was that the sequel to Ghost?

[Michael Corvin]

Micheal Keaton - My Life

Damn, I forgot about that movie. Damn depressing.

[CloverClover]

Roberto Benigni in Life is Beautiful

so true, this is the best example for me. it makes you feel a loss as if someone you know has died, and that the world is a worse place without him.

[PatD]

Officer Marvin Nash in "Reservoir Dogs".

I've never seen an innocent character in a movie get wrung through such a brutal wringer in such a short time just to be snuffed out mercilessly in the end. Kirk Baltz sold that character's agony and anguish better than most A-listers.

[Solid Snake PAC]

King Kong

The saddest movie death of all time was when Pearl Harbor was murdered by Michael Bay.

[brayzie]

Saving Private Ryan...

When that one guy was killed at the end by the German soldier. The German got on top of him and was slowly pushing the knife towards the US soldiers chest. The US guy started saying, "wait, wait, don't do it..." and the German was just going "Shhh shhh."

It was pretty sad because it seemed more plausible and emotionally realistic than all the chest beating you see when characters die in other films.

[rw2516]

More disturbing than sad I think and this scene made me not only hate Jeremy Davies character more than any other in film history but I also hated the actor because it was hard for me to see him without thinking of that scene.

[Kurtie Dee]

Bob the robot in <i>The Black Hole</i>, and you know who in <i>Million Dollar Baby</i>.

Godfather III:

Absolutely.

Al Pacino's silent scream...the montage of Michael Corleone dancing with the women he loved...the final shot of him living to a ripe old age...and the accompanying Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana"...It all made up for one of the most affecting deaths I've ever seen on cinema.

[devilshalo]

Do movies based on true stories count?

United 93

[Spottedfeather]

E.T.

Even though it's: not permanent

I never thought that what happened to E.T. was death. I've always seen it as falling into a coma because he was separated from his people for too long. After all, once his heart stopped, the doctors stopped paying attention to him. His heart could have kept beating only once a minute or something like that.

As to what deaths I think are the saddest...
Littlefoot's mom in Land Before Time
King Kong...especially the '76 version
Spock in Wrath Of Khan
Murron in Braveheart
the Terminator in T2
Patch Addams
(not quite a death, but still dying) Johnny 5 in Short Circuit 2
Randy Quaid in Independence Day
(wether you believe in it or not) the beating and murder scene in Passion Of The Christ

and not a movie, but Superman dying in Superman #75

[Dr. DVD]

Seeing Gene Hackmam go was a bigger bummer.

I think both Hackman and Winters' deaths had a good impact. This IMO is an illustration of the importance of getting decent actors for movies that might be B-level in nature. The Poseidon Adventure is a pretty cheesy movie, but because the actors did such a fine job, I actually cared about the characters. Very much the opposite of the 2006 movie.

While it didn't make me cry, Boromir's death in FOTR was quite powerful, as he was fighting to redeem himself.

[Traxan]

Master & Commander -- Warley's drowning. The way the ship leaves him behind, men cheering below while officers are anguished on deck. The lack of a sequel for this movie is a crime.

[Ostello]

Don't think anyone mentioned this one...


Michael Clarke Duncan - 'The Green Mile'

[Time Warrior]

A few that had me close to wailing;

1) Wallace Beery in The Champ (1931)

2) What happens to John Barrymore in Grand Hotel (1932) - so senseless given he has just found love.

3) Clifton Webb's character in The Razor's Edge (1946).

4) The two key death scenes in Goodbye Mr Chips (1939).

5) Boris Karloff in The Ghoul (1933) - Again, both of his death scenes are terrific.

6) The primary character in Peeping Tom (1960) - impaling himself on a camera tripod whilst also filiming his own death. A man who was dreadfully abused by his father and know no other way out.

7) What happens to the vampire's mother in Brides of Dracula (1960)

8) Obi Wan Kenobi in Star Wars (1977) - huge impact at the time I first saw it.

9) Sinhuet in The Egyptian (1954) - "I leace this for your children - and your children's children. It is a poor legacy but it is all I have."

and the most impactful death scene in the history of film, at least for me;

10) Charlton Heston in El Cid (1961).

Yup. Corporal Upham is probably my most hated character in the history of cinema.

[DJariya]

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I recall a pretty sad death scene with Jeff Bridges wife on White Squall. I believe they were caught in a storm and the ship sank and she was trapped in a lower compartment and Bridges character wasn't able to save her. He watched helplessly as the ship sank to the bottom of the ocean with her watching.

They didn't really show it, but I thought Costner drowining in Message in a Bottle was pretty sad too.

Jeremy Davies must be a really good actor to make you feel such hate for a character who is essentially good...albeit very weak.

[foofighters7]

'Bullhead' had one of the more sympathetic characters I've seen in awhile and a very sad ending to a sad person as well.

That's just a recent one I would mention. Not a dramatic death necessarily but that's what I thought of.

[whoopdido]

Agreed. I like Jeremy Davies a lot. I thought his performance in SPR was probably the best of anyone.

You're right. He was a good person, but there's no room for good in combat. He was responsible, although not directly, for at least two of his fellow soldiers, including his captain, being killed simply because he was weak. In many ways you feel bad for him but you also hate his guts. Don't be such a pussy Upham.

[lizard]

I'll mention Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon death of Li Mu Bai, especially given the unrequited love of Yu Shu Lien

And I was also affected by some of the ones mentioned by others above:
The Fellowship of the Ring
Serenity
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (That was utterly shocking when I first saw it in 1969.)
Star Trek II (It didn't have the same impact anymore once the third movie came out).
The Professional
Master and Commander

Most of the movie deaths mentioned by others I haven't seen, in part because I prefer more upbeat stuff.

[Trout]

So, how many people went out and You-Tubed some of these scenes?

The first death that came to mind when I saw this thread was Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias. Yes, I know, I should hand in my man card. But I was 14 when I saw that movie and really struggled to hold back tears during Sally Field's graveyard breakdown.


First one I thought of too. I was 12. I think the scene where the husband comes home to find the pot on the stove boiling over and the baby screaming was more upsetting to me than the actual death.

[Spottedfeather]

The all time saddest death scene has to be Hooch from Turner And Hooch. You can have all the people in the world die. I couldn't care less. But when it's a dog, that's going to far. I can't watch that movie any more.

[Kmical]

The director in Tropic Thunder. Horrific in an otherwise funy movie.

I felt that scene was the funniest part of the movie. Well, maybe that or Matthew McConaughey giving advice on how to dispose of a dead hooker ;)

As far as saddest death in Tropic Thunder, I would vote for

The panda that was accidentally killed by Ben Stiller's character
