But is that canon?

Not sure tbh, I always thought most of the books & comics were generally considered canon?

I think they are till they contradict something or a better idea comes along.

And I meant it was tragic in a 'it was a sh*t way to kill off the character' kind of way...but reading that, and reading how he ended up back in the sarlacc adds to the tragedy of it.:D

Captain Miller(Tom hanks in saving private ryan). The "Earn this" line absolutely killed me.

Mc murphy(Jack nicholson) In cuckoos nest

Rambo in First blood - I know this didnt happen in the movie but his death in the book would make the hardest of hard men cry.

William wallace (Mel gibson) In braveheart. The death scene itself is pretty brutal but the following scene, where all the lads are lined up for a final battle with the brits and your man gives a short but great speech......brilliant.

McMurphy doesn't die. He gets a lobotomy but it gets me everytime too. I read the book and the pages were wet from my tears.
Billy commits suicide which is what sends Mc over the edge and he attacks Nurse Rachid

For me it's when Annis dies in The Imitation of Life. Jesus, even thinking about the funeral scene makes me well up.

Also the Champ used to have me in floods as a kid.

Bambi (as a kid)

Big Fish - Albert Finney - Everytime.

I don't know how to do those spolier things so sorry if I ruined anything for anyone:P

Ah, this will be one of those threads to avoid because people don't know how to use spoilers properly.

It does have spoilers in caps lock in the thread title. If people click into this thread and then see spoilers I dont know how they can complain...

Totally. I go back on what I said before about the need for spoiler wraps, I was pretty out of it last night. (edit: even though I said that a few hours ago... I'm pretty sick atm so time is a blur)

You were thinking of the guy who goes to live with the Simpsons and composes a birthday song for Lisa.

I made the same mistake...completely forgot about The Chief ending his misery. I can't even use drink as an excuse and I've seen that film a half dozen times

It's not that there'll be spoilers in the thread but that they should be used properly. Put the name of the film AND THEN the spoiler at the very least. Instead of having people click on a black box without having any earthy idea what it'll be referring to.

Grave of the Fireflies -

The sister.

SYDEWYNDER

Talia al Ghuls/Miranda Tates

death in The Dark Knight Rises was ****ing tragic. Tragic acting.

That, if you're going to spoiler a movie, dont spoiler the title of the movie too, it defeats the purpose sicne you dont know what film it is you're going to be spoiling

SimonTemplar

Hooch from Turner and Hooch

I saw this movie as a young boy and his death left me traumatised. As I recall, it was completely unneccessary to the plot. Even as an adult, I can't bring myself to watch it again.

For me

Wash's death

in Serenity.

And in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

when the kid goes for a "shower".

Honorables mention to

the old couple

in Titanic and

Jenny

in Forest Gump

Shane( he did die)

Shane didn't die ... did he???

For me, as cheesy as it is, all the major deaths in Deep Impact have me bawling -

Tea Leoni's mother killing herself, Tea and her father on the beach, Leelee Sobieski's parents holding each other in the traffic jam, and finally the astronauts' death with their final family goodbyes.

I still can't get over that.

bnt

I remember being shocked by the death of

Tracy Mills (Gwyneth Paltrow)

in Se7en - even though it was not shown on screen. It illustrated the lengths to which John Doe would go to finish his plan.

In another one I remember well, the title is the spoiler, since the title character dies at the end:

Léon

. :cool:

Liam McPoyle

Marley.

mojesius

Giuseppe Conlon - In the Name of the Father

MJ23

Talia's death scene in Dark Knight Rises was horrific. Horrific in the sense that it was done so bad. Id say it was the first take of the scene and the editor stuck it in for the laugh. Brutal.

General Relativity

Cillian Murphy's

in Wind that shakes the Barley.
