Saddest movie deaths

[A.J.]

Naturally death is sad. But last night, we were talking about which movie death was the saddest. One that comes out of nowhere and takes away a beloved character. For example, Spock in Wrath of Khan. Or maybe Mickey in Rocky III? E.T.? Old Yeller?

What say you?

[red_red_red]

Terms of Endearment...it didn't come out of nowhere but it's depressing as hell.

[ScottFromGA]

Macully Culkin (spelling bad, I know) dying in My Girl.

seeing Anna Clumsky's character seeing him in the coffin and crying cause he didnt have his glasses on was a heartbreaker......:glurps:

[Meataball23]

Hooch's death


I can see movie death a million times and rarely do I even blink, but when a dog dies I go to pieces...very masculine I know.

[Furtherman]

They're not actual deaths, but the whole Lindsay dying and then Lindsay thinking Bud is dying in The Abyss are two heart-wrenching scenes.



And who forget Goose!? Oh no Goose eject! Oh no Goose you hit the canopy! Oh no Goose you broke Meg Ryan's heart! Oh no Goose!

Ok, that one isn't sad but I like to make fun of it.

My parents did the same thing to me. the one's you mentioned plus the Yearling. I could have sworn there were a few others in which a kid had to kill his pet. I am convinced my parents secretly didn't want kids and took out their anger by forcing me to watch those sad Disney animal movies.

i forgot all about the yearling
waaaaaaaaaa....

i don't understand why disney
made so many of those death movies

what was their motivation?

just a guess - Walt Disney was a nazi kid toucher who had a deep hate/love for kids. his hostility came out by loving to see them cry.

Titanic got me when Leonardo DiCaprio died.
He didn't die, but Tom Hanks in Castaway when he drove off after being rescued and finding that his wife was now happily married. She was his beacon of light during his exile and it broke me up to think she held onto hope but had to face facts and move on, and it must have torn them both up. In a way it was like the death of love.
