Spike Spiegel’s death in the final episode of Cowboy Bebop was a powerful one if you like anime.

I can’t believe Braveheart isn’t getting more love in this thread. I thought you people loved freedom?

For me the movie deviated way too far from actual reality to be that enjoyable.

Dude no joke I had a regular customer a few years who looked just like that guy except that he had a beard.

Mine was interesting in that the hero “died” twice (although the first time, as it turns out, he was only thought dead).
Captain Kirk in Star Trek Generations.
I guess it could be argued that Kirk also died in Star Trek: Into Darkness, although that was a separate timeline.

Then William Shatner wrote a series of novels where Kirk didn’t even die at the end of Generations…lol.
In the Star Trek Universe, does anyone really die?

Here’s another of mine:
Learned as a kid in the 70’s, when I was learning to play piano, the very sad theme song, “Hands of Time.”
Found this on You Tube about a week ago:
Now, while not a fan of graphic sex scenes in various books and films, it’s ridiculous to have to censor the name of a part of the male anatomy—especially when that’s where the germ cell tumor that killed Mr. Piccolo started.
The film was remade in 2001. I’d like to see the later version:

Here’s a scene from another oldie, this one based on the life of Coach John Baker:
The school where he taught in Albuquerque, Aspen Elementary, received a unanimous vote to rename it John Baker Elementary School following his death.
The book by the late William Buchanan was a sad, but excellent read, & Coach John Haaland, played by Ed Begley, Jr., was a very nice man (friends on social media).

For the kiddies- Charlotte in Charlotte’s Web.
I think the point of the thread is the death of a main character/hero you get attached to in the course of the film.
Oh yeah… The Departed.
and… Treasure of Sierra Madre
