Best acted death scene in a movie

[Bayard]

List your favorites. Too gruesome? Its, Ack-TING (in the words of old SNL's Master Thespian).

I'm in Alan Rickman mode tonight.

4. Bill Nighy as Viktor in Underworld

Delayed Diagonal Headslice

I guess I'm not too committed to the idea it is great acting, but it was memorable... albeit cartoonish and I suppose therefore a bit derivative.

[TygrBright]

5. Melting Nazis in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" just because it's so fun to watch. n/t

6. I've seen some "death scenes" that looked like they were from snuff films

Maybe scenes too gruesome to describe here (I'm still trying to "learn the ropes" around here). Anyway, recent indie movies in the "Horror" section of Tubitv have shown some really graphic scenes that have given me nightmares.

12. They have the absolute dregs of

the movie world there right now. Felt sleazy just scrolling thru them.

[EastMeetsWest]

14. The thing with Tubitv is,

they have some wonderful classics, like Basil Rathbone/ Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movies, and even a few Hitchcock movies, which I absolutely love. But, man, some of the later "horror" stuff just creeps me out.

[Lars39]

15. Yep, they do.

I’ve rewatched/watched some good stuff I never had time to catch before.

[EastMeetsWest]

29. Another thing about Tubitv is,

I saw a movie that was mostly shot in an area that I am very familiar with-- the Asakusa district of Tokyo! The movie was called "Raiga", I think, and it was a spoof of Godzilla movies. Raiga was a monster who emerged from the Sumida River in Tokyo, at a place where I traversed during my morning commute :0

[Lars39]

30. That had to have been a little

jolting to see such familiar places in a movie!

[EastMeetsWest]

31. It certainly was

One of the funniest scenes from "Raiga" was when a couple of tourists emerged from Asakusa Station 浅草駅, after "Raiga" had knocked off the top of the Asahi Beer building across the Sumida River and it landed next to the station entrance. "What's that?" asked one tourist. "Looks like monster doo-doo." said the other.

Sometimes the bad guy, or fish, has to blow up.

[Skittles]

8. the ending of Children of Men

very poignant

9. Don't forget his Harry Potter death scene.

[eppur_se_muova]

10. I favor the deathbed scene from Jabberwocky .... nt

[Paladin]

11. Kevin Spacey in "L.A. Confidential."

It's as if you can see the life go out of his eyes.

[mitch96]

13. "see the life go out of his eyes." That type of scene always moves me.. How actors can do this

always amazes me. One minute you see life in their eyes and then it slowly fades away to a blank stare.. uff

[First Speaker]

16. Burt Lancaster has a great one in, I think, "They Came to Cordova"...

...He's in a gun duel, and draws his weapons and fires at the Bad Guy, all the while smiling with those teeth of his. He keeps smiling, and nonchalantly puts his guns back in his holster. Then, *still* smiling, he falls to the ground, dead.

17. PeeWee Herman in Buffy the Vampire Slayer

18. Willem Dafoe as Sgt. Elias in Platoon

19. HAL 2001

20. Henry Fonda in Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West.

That moment of recognition as to who and why.

[Texasgal]

21. Into the wild

[Duppers]

23. Had to stop watching that, I remember.

It's based on a true story and was too heart-wrenching.

[Angleae]

24. Spock

[Xavier Breath]

33. That's a good scene

along with Kirk's eulogy shortly afterward. Always gets me when he says "...his was the most...human."
