    Mufasa in the Lion King....serious punch in the feels there. I think an entire generation were traumatized by it!

    Also Bambi's Mother.

    So amazing to think that Disney thought the Lion King would be a huge flop of a movie, and put all the major efforts into Pocahontas.
    That's not a joke-the major talent was put on Pocahontas, bar a few folks like Andreas Deja, and Aaron Blaise, and the Bancroft bros.

    Has anyone mentioned old Yeller yet?

    "Wake up champ"

    Best performance by a child actor ever. Period. Gets me every single time.

    I spoke about sad or disturbing death scenes but one scene I enjoyed and actually laughed at was when Frank Nitty was launched off the roof by Elliot Ness only to go crashing face first through the roof of a car in The Untouchables.

    Still kinda laugh thinking about it. I think that would qualify as a great death scene.

    Edge of tomorrow had too many to count.
    The truck scene was a standout, but that movie really delivered and Brendan Gleeson knocked it out of the park.

    An honest mistake. I forgot it was still out in the cinema so didn't think about the spoilers.

    Although you never see the deaths, one of the most hard hitting and poignant scenes ever is the last ever blackadder scene "goodbyeee"

    In the absence of a poll we need somebody to go through this thread to add up the scores. I'm guessing/hoping its Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer's) death scene in Blade Runner.

    I only really felt sorry for the brother in that scene, Tommy DeVito was a psychotic animal who deserved to be put down

    Littlefoot's mom in Land before Time...I f****ng lost it as a kid. Watched a day or two later-same damn result. Don Bluth eh-torture us as kids then give us a happy ending so we're all good...Well we're not Don, We're Not!!!

    Also, the ending to All Dog's Go to Heaven-didn't cry as a kid, but it was just the sadness of it all. And knowing what happened to the actress who played the little girl-darn sad. Another Don Bluth one.

    HAchi in a Dog's tale. Just watch it-it's brutal on me. Have the DVD at home-never trading it.

    Sam going to heaven in Ghost. Yeah, he's dead at the beginning. Yes, it's just a movie-but dammit, when Unchained Melody plays, and suddenly she can hear him, and see him...I get a lump in my throat. Swayze brings back a lot of positive memories for me-his movies were like a family thing, my grandparents always had those movies, and always wanted him to beat his cancer, and make a huge comeback. Sadly, it didn't happen. He had more talent than some of the wasters out there-Seagal I'm looking at you.

    UP goes without saying-also Nemo's mom in Finding Nemo-the music, the 'never getting to say goodbye'. Can't do it man. Didn't think it would affect me again, after rewatching it.

    Inside Out-Bing Bong. Wasn't a fan of the movie, but no-no Pixar...why you do this?

    Alex Murphy in Robocop-the original...JEsus, they just won't stop...I saw it as a teen and was shocked, barely able to concentrate on the rest of the movie.

    yeah bing bong in inside out got me too
    A fukin hero man

    I loved both Kill Bill's but Kill Bill 1 was my favourite of the 2. I'm going to go with quantity here and pick the Bride vs the crazy 88 and Gogo. Such a well choreographed scene.
