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?

Such a heartbreaking scene. Wow. I remember it.

"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.

Ever heard of spoiler tags for god's sake!

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

One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach. All the damn vampires.

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

But did he actually die?? :eek:

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.

A worthy winner.

One more...Kong's death. 1933 or Peter Jackson version, take your pick...

When they beat to death and bury alive Joe Pesci and his brother at the end of Casino. So violent!

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

Nicky Santoro you mean? It was a fitting ending for someone like that but it was still shocking

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

Apologies - he was Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas, right character, wrong name

White Heat with James Cagney, the original bad boy, as Cody Jarrett on TG4 right now. Forget Joe Pesci.
....Finally made it to the top of the world ....

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet but the scene in American History X when Edward Norton's character gets the gang member to "bite the kerb"...... Even though you don't see what happens to him......dear God!!!!

When bennett let of a little steam in Commando.

Or when sully had to be let go

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.
