[WinkyDink]

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

8. Dr Strangelove

Well, one of the stars, anyway



:hi:

[Glassunion]

9. The Departed

[Badfish]

[ohiosmith]

10. Old Yeller, Cujo

[WolverineDG]

11. Titanic and (spoiler)

Saving Private Ryan

dg

[alphafemale]

25. This entire thread's a spoiler.

Anyone who cries "spoiler" if they click on this thread should have their head shut in a car door.

But they probably already did that do themselves twice today.

[WolverineDG]

33. All it takes is one person

who will then get their friends to dog-pile on, telling me how horrible I am for "spoiling" a movie for them, despite the fact it's been out for over 10 years. I've seen it happen before.

dg

[mreilly]

52. Wolverine, I agree

The constant crying about "spoilers" is so moronic that it's beyond idiocy. What I love are the threads discussing films on imdb.com (Internet Movie Database) - everyone has to carefully label their posts with "spoiler alert" in case some precious little prima donna sees something he/she didn't expect. Because, you know, if you're viewing a discussion board about a movie there's no reason to believe anyone might discuss anything that actually HAPPENED and tie your little diapers in a knot, because you're too dumb to refrain from visiting a discussion board about a film you haven't seen!!!

[alphafemale]

103. How dare you tell me the boat fucking SANK!!!!

:rofl:

[Badfish]

34. Biggest spoiler thread ever.

BTW , Bruce Willis isn't dead.

This star waited till the end to figure out he is dead.

[jobycom]

101. Damnit. Hahaha!

I looked! Yeah, I keep meaning to watch it, and no, I didn't know how it ended. :rofl:

[TuxedoKat]

13. Omega Man

[NewJeffCT]

16. In the same vein - I Am Legend

with Will Smith.

[TuxedoKat]

21. Yeah

I didn't put it because I didn't like the remake as much as the original. That wasn't the only movie where Charlton Heston died at the end but I don't recall the other ones right now.

[NewJeffCT]

14. Saving Private Ryan

Tom Hanks' character died.

[NewJeffCT]

15. Gladiator

Russell Crowe's Maximus dies in the end

[NewJeffCT]

17. 300

Leonidas.

[May Hamm]

19. How about if the horse dies? "Lonely Are the Brave."

One of the best movies ever.

[Moondog]

20. Cleopatra.

[TorchTheWitch]

22. Thelma and Louise

Gladiator. Off the top of my head that's all I'm coming up with.

[May Hamm]

23. Someone here said "Reservoir Dogs"

But I haven't seen it so... I intend to someday. Maybe.

[Badfish]

24. Braveheart.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Pqpmm2T6j4g/SIRlQcSWPyI/AAAAAAAADrU/XlS2H6sEjWo/s400/braveheart+death.jpg

[alphafemale]

26. Hamlet....everyone

:rofl:

[Bake]

27. Armageddon!

He'll do it! Harry doesn't know how to fail!

Bake

[jmowreader]

28. Training Day

[Badfish]

32. Thats a huge one , how did i miss that.

"King Kong ain't got shit on me"

[Alexander]

29. Shane?

It's open to interpretation.

[fishwax]

41. Have you seen The Negotiator?

The question of the ending is a plot tool in that movie :) ... I was going to mention Shane as well

[Alexander]

46. Yes. A pretty decent movie, actually.

"Do you like Westerns? I like Westerns. I especially like it when the hero dies at the end."

[Iggo]

64. That's my interpretation.

It's a way better movie like that.

[Alexander]

65. There are dark clouds in the final shot of him riding away.

It could mean he dies, or it could mean he lives, only to get into trouble later on.

I like the ambiguity. It's one of my favorite Westerns.

[kentauros]

30. Jacob's Ladder

Although, he may already be dead, but you don't really know...

trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xyG3qjASLo

[av8rdave]

90. What a fantastic movie...one of my all time favorites

[kentauros]

31. The Iron Giant

trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTnu-cGP17w

[Frank Cannon]

84. Ah, but not necessarily.

The very last scene shows his pieces on their way to the Arctic to reassemble.

[alphafemale]

35. Brooklyn's Finest is pretty brutal.

Really high body count.

Only one of the stars makes it to the end.

[trof]

36. Abott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (and the Wolfman and Dracula)

;-)

[NoPasaran]

37. Passion of the Christ

[XemaSab]

56. Well played

[Badfish]

39. King Kong.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

63. Thats eerie

:shudder:

[Joe Fields]

40. The Cowboys.

[Graybeard]

42. The King and I, West Side Story

[chollybocker]

59. Or just Bambi.

[sarge43]

66. Thank you n/t

[Arugula Latte]

49. Love Story

[Recovered Repug]

50. The Perfect Storm.

Milk
Casino
The Gangs of New York

Just to name a few.

[zen_bohemian]

51. Easy Rider

:)

[Broken_Hero]

53. Surprised no one has said Gran Torino,

or Million Dollar Baby

[csziggy]

54. "Thelma & Louise" and "Miracle Mile" n/t

[Petrushka]

55. "Ironweed" --- characters played by Tom Waits and Meryl Streep die at end of movie --->

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBE5rkdqkS4&feature=related

[XemaSab]

57. Nobody has said "American Beauty?"

:shrug:

[blogslut]

60. The Cowboys

Considering the star who died, at the time, it was kind of a big deal.

EDIT ADD: My addition probably doesn't count because the star dies more like halfway through the film.

[bookworm65t]

97. Bruce Dern 's guy most pathetic villain of all time

Shoots John Wayne in the back after JW told him to go to hell

[blogslut]

99. The behind-the-scenes was fun

During filming of this scene, Wayne warned Dern,"America will hate you for this." Dern wryly replied, "Yeah, but they'll love me in Berkeley."

[Gidney N Cloyd]

61. Here's an oldie with a twist: "A Gunfight"

IIRC at the end of the movie Johnny Cash kills Kirk Douglas in a staged gunfight but then there's a fantasy sequence where they show how things would have turned out if Kirk Douglas had won.

[JonLP24]

62. Benjamin Button

[sarge43]

67. Dead Zone. n/t

[rbnyc]

68. Awesome Example

And a great movie by my favorite director.

[sarge43]

70. I think it was Walken's best role, even better than Deer Hunter

Very low keyed, but intense.

[rbnyc]

71. I agree.

Though I have another strange favorite role of his, in Brainstorm.

[sarge43]

72. I'll have to check out that one. n/t

[Frank Cannon]

85. I agree, as well. That movie is a classic.

And Sarah Palin reminds me so much of Martin Sheen's Greg Stillson character, it's scary.

[Mad_Dem_X]

88. Fantastic movie.

[WinkyDink]

69. "A Man for All Seasons."

[SPKrazy]

73. spoiler alert

"Drive Angry" although you can't die twice so not really :rofl:

[REP]

74. Hombre

[hamsterjill]

75. Message In a Bottle

I SO wanted him to be alive!

[av8rdave]

92. Did he die in the end? I have never been able to stay awake through that thing to find out

Best insomnia cure ever!

[hamsterjill]

105. Ah, now you're just being BAD!!! LOL

It's not the most brain-stimulating movie, I will give you that! But I liked it!

[av8rdave]

107. Nothing wrong with different tastes in movies

I can't quite put my finger on it, but that one couldn't keep my interest for some reason. Strange, given the cast.

Then again, there are films I like that most others might not, so the issue is probably more my taste than it is the movie itself.

[hamsterjill]

76. Message In a Bottle

I SO wanted him to be alive!

[Brigid]

77. The Phantom Menace

Did they really have to kill off Liam Neeson? :cry:

[baldguy]

78. Return of the Jedi

The whole "Star Wars" saga was about Anakin Skywalker's rise, fall & redemption.

And he dies at the end.

[Lionel Mandrake]

82. I liked Darth Vader better as a badass evil villain.

When he turned good, he became an embarrassment.

[NewJeffCT]

83. His becoming evil was also

He was good for the first two movies and a bit more. Sure, he was whiny at times, but so was Luke in A New Hope and even Empire. Then, he goes to turn the Emperor in as a Sith Lord... and, suddenly Anakin turns bad, chops off Mace Windu's hands and then, Anakin's out there killing children in the span of a few minutes. And, when Anakin went to stop Windu, it wasn't entirely bad, he wanted the Emperor to stand trial for his crimes.

[Lionel Mandrake]

102. A saga about rise, fall & redemption.

Try Michael Corleone in the Godfather trilogy.

The same formula doesn't quite fit the Star Wars movies, because Luke Skywalker is the protagonist in three of them. In "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" (the first movie that was made), especially, several other characters are on screen more than Darth Vader is.

[Rob H.]

79. The Shootist

John Wayne's final film, too.

[Rob H.]

96. image posting fail! grr....

[hippywife]

80. Beaches.

Made me weep my heart out. I watched it with my best friend, and had never to that point ever conceived of losing her.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

81. The Grifters. (n/t)

[Frank Cannon]

86. The Transformers: The Movie (1986)

The original, and still the best.

[Mad_Dem_X]

87. Donnie Darko.

[jotsy]

89. Arlington Road

It's been a long time, and I still can't talk about it without getting peeved!

[WinkyDink]

104. I know! However, I love that movie! Except: Okay, if the college-chickGF was really in on it, as the

ending shows with her ("Ha! I didn't die in the car crash!") interview, then why does she act surprised and unnerved when confronted by Radical Wife at the pay-phone? Why follow the truck in the first place?

[av8rdave]

91. Grand Torino

[mzteris]

93. The Red Shoes n/t

[Lydia Leftcoast]

94. Wicker Man, as well as (spoilers follow)

The Haunting
The original Dutch version of The Vanishing
The Passion of Joan of Arc
Shoot the Piano Player
Vagabond

[sarge43]

95. Terms of Endearment n/t
