Movies that end w/self sacrifice?
SPOILERS, uh DUH!
Can you name some movies that end with a main character self-sacrificing themselves for the greater good?

Having a spoiler really doesn't have a point unless you know what is being spoiled. For example, I was just spoiled by the post above me.
Ripley in Alien 3
Gorman and Vasquez in Aliens
Father Damien in The Exorcist
Leon in The Professional
Randy Quaid's character in Independence Day
Dyson in T2 (and The Terminator too, I guess)
Doc Ock in Spiderman 2
Ripley in Alien 3
Gorman and Vasquez in Aliens
Father Damien in The Exorcist
Leon in The Professional
Randy Quaid's character in Independence Day
Dyson in T2 (and The Terminator too, I guess)
Doc Ock in Spiderman 2

Yeah, the spoiler is pointless for this thread. The second you see what movie is mentioned, then the ending is basically spoiled.
The only way to avoid it is to not read the thread, or hope that you've seen the movies mentioned already.

The best way to do it would be the way PopcornTreeCt did it. Post the actor, character name or a quote and then in spoiler say the name of the movie.

"Look on the bright side. We'll all have high schools named after us."
And, while not wholly intentional:
"...Nothing... can stop that now... Just for once, let me look on you with my own eyes."

Actually, I think the best way to post in this thread is either "Title" then use "SPOILER" tags or just the "Title" with no other info. This way you may know there's a "self sacrifice" in a particular film, but at least you won't know -who- unless you open the spoiler. It gives a choice.
