beware spoilers entail

i put these under 2 categories:
1. deaths that didn't fit the movie
and 2. deaths where the characters were so lovable you just didn't want them to die.

i don't really have any for the first section, i added it for those people who may be thinking that way.

for the second: the grandmother in rosewood, mcwallis(sp?) in braveheart, sebastian in cruel intentions, the brother in the last of the mohicans, carlito, tyler durden (kinda), leon, mandy moore in a walk to remember.

left out the movie for some as they are somewhat obvious, but for those who haven't seen them there may be some solace in them not getting completely spoiled.

Most of the Villian deaths in Disney movies. I hate how they always "do themselves in" so that the hero doesn't have to get his hands dirty.

WiccanPagan

never thought of that. but also many of them just don't die. the one's i have watched recently - both peter pan's, toy story (whichever one zerg becomes buzz's dad in), and monsters inc. there is no death. and i do not think there is one in pocahontas, or aladdin either.

...would be how Jet Li's character died in Lethal Weapon 4. He basically kicked both Riggs & Murtaugh's asses at the last fight scene.

Speaking of Disney villains, the death of Gaston in Beauty and the Beast bothered me because the punishment didn't fit the crime. The guy was a cad, but I thought killing him off was a bit harsh.

Killing off the Joker in Batman was a HUGE mistake. Everybody knows that Batman villains don't die, they go to Arkham Asylum so that they can eventually break out and wreck more havoc! So far, the Asylum only has the Riddler in it.

Disney Self inflicted villian deaths:

Wicked Queen in Snow White
Scar in Lion King
The bad guy in Tarzan
The bad guy in Beauty and the Beast
Silver in Treasure Planet

in Gladiator. I mean, you already have die in that scene... those lads dying too is... um... overkill.

in The Patriot.

in The Untouchables. We're supposed to cheer because the baby survived? Um... right on.

From my memory of Beauty and the Beast from the fact that I havent seen it in 5 years. Gestdon did try to kill the beast and get the old man to find him. Even gets an army to attempt, plus if the beast kills gestdon, he does a good deed and becomes human if memory serves me correct, so I thought for the purpose of the story, he had to die.

Groucho

Speaking of self-inflicted deaths, why does Indiana Jones try to save that Thuggee guy from being crushed to death in Temple of Doom? The death didn't bother me, but Jones should have let it happen and included a witty quip!

Groucho

The Beast doesn't kill Gaston...it's an accident. The Beast becomes human when Belle says "I love you." It has nothing to do with good deeds.

Rypro 525

Shows my crap memory.

The ending of Gladiator

WiccanPagan

good call on gladiator. i am not a fan of the movie but i was a tad bit sad to see him die. the fight was not fair.

Hudson - Aliens...

Groucho

That reminds me: Hicks and Newt in Alien 3. Totally undermined the previous film.

Thought of another one...the end of American History X. Tacked-on and forced.

WiccanPagan

though i didn't like the death of in american history x, i think it fit very well. it was almost poignant in the end with his paper and his death.

MrX

I agree

The saddest death of all

Mondo Kane

AND
In Seven Samurai

in Taps

in Set it Off (This death wasn't neccessary)

AND in The Outsiders

The Great Silence
If you've seen it, you know who I'm talking about..

Most of all,
in the original Night of the Living Dead.

Drexl

Oh yeah, Tyler Durden was such a great guy.

WiccanPagan

tyler durden may not have been good but he is the bad guy i love more than any other.

Amadeus

Donnie Darko.Man i just feel so bad for the kid.

WiccanPagan

i don't see why you should. he wasn't killed really. he knew what was going to happen if he did what he did, and he did it just my thoughts.

Amadeus

Yeah,but still you can't help but feel sorry for the poor kid.I mean after all the crazy stuff he went through and then boom he's dead.

In Pay It Forward,

Agree with The Patriot

Up Close and Personal

Pretty much any movie where the good guy dies or gets killed.
