Title: Best Death scene in a movie
Post by: Cherlie on August 24, 2002, 08:44:39 AM: Was watching Jaws last night and when I saw what's his face at the end being eaten by Jaws, it came to me, is this the best death scene in a movie?

Or Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

Your opinions?

PS: Coming to think of it, perhaps the fat guy in Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life". Gives "growse" a whole new dimension to the word. :D

Post by: Animal on August 24, 2002, 12:23:34 PM: Braveheart is the obvious choice, here are a few others:

Comodus in Gladiator (I get so happy to see him die)

Dafoe's character in Platoon, probably one of the most haunting scenes in Hollywood history.

Boromir in Fellowship of The Ring.

Maybe not the best death scenes, but entertaining nonetheless.

POW! Then she wakes up. Close to death but not quite, close enough though.

:eek:

I agree. I hate to say it but, IMHO that scene really detracted from the quality of the movie.

Post by: H. Godwineson on August 26, 2002, 10:21:21 AM: The Lord of the Rings contained three death scenes essential to the story. All were very well done. The "death" of Sauron at the beginning of the movie. The death of Boromir near the end.

But the death that was most beautifully rendered, and which remained true to Tolkien's original mood and intent, was the "death" of Gandalf on the Bridge of Khazadum.

"Fly you fools!"

Aragorn's lament: "Farewell Gandalf!" he cried. "Did I not say to you: if you pass the doors of Moria, beware? Alas that I spoke true! What hope have we without you?"

Post by: rogwar on August 26, 2002, 03:06:25 PM: I agree the SPR knifing scene is disturbing...

I know this movie was a bit arcadish but it had some wild parts like the laser beam(s) scene in Resident Evil. Plus some other scenes as well.

Post by: lord dolf vader on August 27, 2002, 03:47:29 AM: i thought The Duke in "The Shootist" was all around best one i have seen .

and there was a movie called "The Razors Edge" with Bill Murry in a way the whole movie was a death scene and a damn good one. but i think im the only one who saw it on the planet.

But the best was Stacy Keech in "The Ninth Configuration" bar none.

Yep :(

I don't to play the "pére la morale*" but I don't figure how a death can be qualified as "best" even in a film .

Disturbing yes ... best ... no.
