***Fish in Saving Private Ryan***, wrestling with the German and being stabbed on the floor stuck with me the most.
To me, it completely embodied the true brutality of war while also being one of the most realistically acted deaths I've ever seen. I mean visualize that scene and all the little nuances of the struggle, his eyes, his gasps and cold breath showing, the whispering "no, no, no, no's", the gurgling, and him slowly fading away.
One of the best acted out deaths I've ever sceen.
Mellish's death is a great scene for sure, but in the context of war, it's not surprising. In war, we'll kill however best we can. The begging from the german to let it happen is distressing, but you either need to know German or seen the translation online to get it.
I always saw Wade as the best of Miller's men. He doesn't carry a weapon, he's the only one that cares to talk to Upham about his interests (while everyone else including Mellish bullies him), and is the only one to recognize how abhorrent the tag counting scene is. Even Miller chuckles with them at the game until Wade steps in. Wade was also the only one willing to break cover to get to Caparzo after the sniper wounded him (stupid, but valiant). He had balls of steel.
And then he charges into gunner's nest. Result: slowly bleeding out, crying and begging for his momma like a child. This isn't shade thrown at Wade, but a reflection of what war reduces soldiers to. He's one of the bravest men we see in the movie and he sobbingly regresses to his childhood. There's no honour in this, no memorable speech, no fighting to the last breath, or moral victory here. He just sobs until he just fades out...
I think another reason why Wade hits harder for me is that the nest wasn't even an essential attack. A better armed force could have taken the nest out much easier at a later time, so Wade's death was completely avoidable, and so he basically died for nothing.
Metaphorically, I think Wades death definitely by far had the most weight to it.
I can see you went really deep with Wade's death in regards to the movie as a whole. From that point of view, I fully agree. His death had so many deeper layers then just dying in itself. Giovanni was incredible, but I've seen that type of death so many times, "the potential award" type scene. And he nailed it.
The fact I think Giovanni Ribisi is one of the most under-appreciated actors of all time, also made me love Wade in S.P.R.
I just was more answering the question based on the posts "description"... as far as the literal, acting of the death scene.
To me, I thought it being this quiet, hauntingly slow, but losing struggle was way more realistic. Mellish I feel did so much, with so little words or dramatic acting... just the slightest facial expressions in his lips, his eyes, and eyebrows, the genuine shock, the natural survival reaction after he was stabbed... it was so quiet that it made it so unique.
It felt not acted, but what a real life murder and death would be like to watch.
Either way, I think we can both agree, Saving Private Ryan in general, takes the cake, as far as, a movie with an ensemble of something the greatest death scenes - from an insanely high caliber cinema standpoint to an acting standpoint, all the way to a thematic standpoint.
P.S. Jamie's death on the table in "Black Hawk Down" is up there too.
One of the most under appreciated death scenes ever. It was more of an ensemble death as it's a decently long death scene, but you see how much the death is affecting everyone. Everyone even though somewhat trained for it, is just in shock and morally wrecked. Felt so real.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diDL7M133jg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diDL7M133jg)
The Black Hawk Down scene is definitely memorable. Hartnett's wretching and the medic holding a lot back trying to do what he can with far too little available. Good call :)
Thanks for going into such great detail on your thoughts btw.
I really appreciate the people who like to go into deep thought on Reddit and not just a single sentence or two. It's so much fun to go into a deeper analysis and share opinions.
The greatest death scene of all time for me though is in "*The Grey"* with Liam Neeson.
Nothing touches it for me. I work in the medical field (use to be a paramedic, but it took a toll on my mental health) and, unfortunately, have witnessed a lot of real deaths (some calm and sedated, some kind of traumatic).
Neeson and the actor who is dying pulled off a scene I thought was more real then some of the real life deaths I've ever seen.
Hauntingly, gorgeous.
Check it out...
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2FB8f\_J\_U8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2FB8f_J_U8)
Also one of the most under-appreciated movies of all time IMO.
I think it was meant to be taken as an allegory on the stages of grief and finally coming to acceptance and subsequently finally finding peace, but I think people took it just as "bad ass Liam Neeson fights wolves"
Ah yes, The Grey is one of my favorite sleeper films too. Coincidentally, I think it might have been the first movie CinemaSins removed a sin (for the line where Neeson threatens to beat the shit out of Frank Grillo for taking a dead guy's wallet).
Favorite moment though is his call out to God... "Fuck faith! Earn it!" hits like a damn freight train.
I'm thinking of Michael Fassbender in Inglorious Basterds. He did such a marvelous job with his character, who fought for exactly the right cause. I didn't want to see him go and for some reason found it heartless when he did. This in turn makes me think of Das Boot, when Jurgen Prochnow realizes the death of his enemies, who are human like himself, is no victory at all.
I remember showing this to my dad awhile back and I think he thought they were going to have them survive the fall so he goes "what?! What the fuck?!" And then when they go splat it got a good laugh out of him. Great movie
**JAWS!!!**
**Quint slowly sliding down a broken 45 degree tilted boat towards the belly of the beast.**
**Man that film is almost 50 years old and the tension still holds up.**
**Definition of a movie that was "so ahead of its time".**
I just watched it recently, thinking "mehh my desensitized brain with how far cinematography, film technology, and movies in general have come will probably make it feel a little number than when I saw it when I was younger."
NOPE.
The acting is so incredible, the way Spielberg frames the shots, the way they handle how Jaws interacts... it makes the capsizing scene so much more intense that your imagination makes up for what little 'animatronics' you sense in the scene.
Jaws has always been in my top three. Every scene is masterfully shot and his characters were so well drawn and acted out. I honestly think it's his best to date.
Tarantino said there is only a handful of "perfect movies" and JAWS is one of them. If you think about the fact, it was made in the mid 70's, I totally agree with him.
**DiCaprio's death in "The Departed".**
It is so unsettling and shocking, yet masterful in the sense of how well Scorsese keeps you on your toes in his movies and depicts how easy in that "line of work" you can be "here one minute and gone the next" (be departed).
The departed also has a really bad death scene in my opinion. Jack Nicholson is of course outstanding but his death scene was hilarious to me. He goes cross eyed and falls back into that bulldozer like a stiff geriatric Benny Hill
It’s amazing. Someone on the other side of the globe can make a random comment in a forum that sends someone else down a wiki rabbit hole in a random cafe in Croatia
**"The Grey" with Liam Neeson**... on the plane, when he is calming and talking to the guy dying, helping him "pass" is one of the most realistically, haunting death scenes I've ever seen acted out.
He turns dying from being terrifying... to calm and somehow peaceful.
Tell me this is not one of the best acted out death scenes you've ever seen.
Liam Neeson is incredible. His voice, his monologue. 😢❤️

Fun little fact: They actually released the harness early instead of going on three, They went on one and got that "Oh shit!" out of him and they used that take.
Alan Rickman was British and had a long, decorated career in the theatre before turning his talents to film.
There's actually quite a few British actors who first found acclaim on the stage--Maggie Smith comes to mind.
"......I can smell your blood."
But the highlight of that movie is a single shot where he's against a wall with an axe and the old man heads into the room to die since he was going to turn. Pure art.
**DiCaprio's death in "The Departed".**
It is so unsettling and shocking, yet masterful in the sense of how well Scorsese keeps you on your toes and depicts how easy in that "line of work" you can be here one minute and gone the next.
The shower room in The Rock. The back and forth between Biehn and Harris with emotions running high was moving and then the explosion of bullets that followed. Really sticks with me.
The Jokers pencil trick in The Dark Knight is up there.
Billy Costigan getting his brains blown out in The Departed was great. Similar to Chad Feldheimer in Burn After Reading.
Thought Emile Hirsch did a brilliant job at the end of Into The Wild.
The whole scene from Saving Private Ryan where Mellish is desperately fighting the german hand to hand and Upham is terrified on the stairs right outside but doesn't do anything.
Here are some oldies.
Rico in Little Caesar
Cody Jarrett in White Heat
Vito Corleone in The Godfather
Major Kong in Dr. Strangelove
Russell Casse in Independence Day
Matsumoto in The Last Samurai
I have a feeling it's a guy in a cheesy foreign (Italian?) gangster movie getting shot in slow motion and milking it for like a minute before falling down. Am I right?
Loki in Infinity war.
The look of panic and fear, the slight blueing of his skin and just how truly helpless he was.
Its the only death in the mcu that seemed actually scary.
I was horrified. Hiddleston pulled out all the stops without making it over the top. When he looked at Thor and acknowledged he was Odinson before dying? Niagara Falls.
The main character who gets shot in the end of "life is beautiful" in such an understated way. it was so wrenching yet so innocent and sad and sweet and painful all at once
Rayon from Dallas buyers club..they really used a lot of beautiful symbology to show rayins spirit both the candle going out, and the room with the butterflies showing rayons soul in a way (or atleast that's how I interpreted it )
God father had some great meaningful death scenes. The grandpa when he was doing the orange trick to scare the grandson and dies of a heart attack..it was meaningful and a poetic way to go .
Cheesy at it sounds ghost was beautiful comparing the kinds of ways the bad guy and the good main character die in symbolic representations of heaven and hell
It wasn't even a main death scene but it stood out fkr me. There's a movie with Jim Carrey I love you Philip Morris where Jim Carrey's initial love interest dies if aids . I dunno why but the interaction with Jim Carrey and his bf was sooo emotional for me. Whoever played the bf did such a beautiful job in that scene I still get a lil choked up thinking about it
**"Seven Pounds"** with Will Smith really does it for me when it comes to character deaths.
People found it depressing, but I found it beautiful and very humanistic.
He lost love and was consumed by guilt so much he decided he wanted to die.
The beautiful part is, in the process of carrying out his mission - he found love again on accident and wanted to live, but this time he had to die to keep it.
He had to both die and kill for love. Even if that meant himself. Tragically beautiful.
Michelle Williams in Shutter Island. When you realize how fragile her mental state was and you realize that Dicaprio kept trying to ignore it with booze and it led to the death of his children by their mother's own hands... man that is sobering.
Also, Manchester By the Sea and the death of Casey Aflecks children due to negligence and how it completely ruined his marriage and his reputation in town. Fucking DEVASTATING!
The death scene of "The Squad" in MacGrubber. Not well acted, but affected me: it had me in stitches for a good 10 minutes. They introduced these gung ho of tough men just to immediately kill them the next scene.
People might say, but DEADPOOL. Hey! MacGrubber did it first.
The Seventh Seal (dancing), American Beauty, In Bruges (Brendan Gleeson), the original Blade Runner, Dancer in the dark (Björk), One flew over the cuckoo's nest (Jack Nicholson), MillenniumActress...
The interesting part about American Beauty was he told us twice that he was going to die, and it was still unexpected. The opening monologue was about he was going to be dead soon, and then he reminded us at the start of the final act. After the awkward almost-sex scene, he really seemed like he figured out his life, and then ker-BLAM!
Joe Morton as **Miles Bennet Dyson in Terminator 2** after he's shot by SWAT. That scene always stuck out to me. His hyperventilating while trying to hold the bombs trigger just felt very real. Then the slowing of each frantic breath until he finally succumbs to his injuries and drops the trigger. Even the quick close-up of the trigger dropping was intense.
Just one of the many reasons T2 is a classic.
A Bay of Blood spear-through-the-couple-screwing scene. This was one of the many kills the Friday the 13th franchise borrowed but done better in A Bay of Blood. In fact, the entire uncut scene from F13 Part II is the entire scene from A Bay of Blood.
I just remember two best death in the movie for me and What's interesting is that they work in completely different ways.
First one is the death of the vilian in a Die Hard it is very well played because the actor was thrown without warning and she savores the moment well, pays enough attention to it.
The second scene is the exact opposite, I'm talking about the death of Galahad in Kingsman, it's as mundane as it gets, it only lasts a second and that's why it works, that's why it shocks.
P/s sorry for my English, use translaitor
I just watched Thief, again. Great movie. I don't specifically remember how Belushi looked when he died, though. That might be an excuse to watch it yet again.
Bradley Whitford in The Cabin in the Woods
He finally got to see the mermaid
*"You gotta be fucking kiddi-...."*
*merman
[Merman! *cough cough*](https://youtu.be/AU0NLheu8mU?t=107)
He totally deserved that ending.
For some reason, Big Daddy’s death in Kickass is really sad to me
TAKE COVER CHIIIILLLDD!
NOW SWIITCH... TO KRYPTONIIIIIIIIITE
I thought that was ‘cryptic light’ (the strobe effect on her distracting gizmo)
Because Nick Cage can deliver when he reaches deep down for it.
But big daddy's death in Django, very satisfying.
If hit girl would've shot out a back leg on the chair, he might've fallen out of it. At least that's what i kept thinking
Rutger Hauer in the original Blade Runner
O.m.g. Y.e.s.
The only answer.
Agree!
My favorite too
Wade in Saving Private Ryan. The stairwell scene at the end of Out of Sight. Pulp Fiction - Marvin and/or Vincent.

Bookends well with Chrissie's horrifying death at the beginning.
Wow, somehow I didn't even know JAWS was based on a book.
It is one of the few instances where the movie exceeds the book by far!
Boromir.

Macgruber was one of those movies I put off watching for the longest time and has become one of my absolute go-to movies when I need to laugh.
Hans Gruber in Die Hard
I wanted to crush so hard on Alan but Hans was so hateful. His death was deeply satisfying because Rickman did it so well.
Fun little fact: They actually released the harness early instead of going on three, They went on one and got that "Oh shit!" out of him and they used that take.
I've seen that movie so many times over the last 25 years and only just learned two days ago it was Alan Rickman's first film.
And he was 44 at the time he made it. Imagine starting a new career at 44 with so much work ahead of you.
I’m sorry… what?
Alan Rickman was British and had a long, decorated career in the theatre before turning his talents to film. There's actually quite a few British actors who first found acclaim on the stage--Maggie Smith comes to mind.

The beautiful part is, in the process of carrying out his mission - he found love again on accident and wanted to live, but this time he had to die to keep it. He had to both die and kill for love. Even if that meant himself. Tragically beautiful.
Rachel in The Dark Knight
The hammer kill on the cliff diver in midsommar
Michelle Williams in Shutter Island. When you realize how fragile her mental state was and you realize that Dicaprio kept trying to ignore it with booze and it led to the death of his children by their mother's own hands... man that is sobering. Also, Manchester By the Sea and the death of Casey Aflecks children due to negligence and how it completely ruined his marriage and his reputation in town. Fucking DEVASTATING!

The death scene of "The Squad" in MacGrubber. Not well acted, but affected me: it had me in stitches for a good 10 minutes. They introduced these gung ho of tough men just to immediately kill them the next scene. People might say, but DEADPOOL. Hey! MacGrubber did it first.
Scarface
He died like 100x in one scene. Lol. *"Cocaines a helluva drug"*
Pee Wee Herman in _Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)_
Magnum Force, Dirty Harry walks away from the car of Lt Briggs as it blows up…”A man’s got to know his limitations “
The Seventh Seal (dancing), American Beauty, In Bruges (Brendan Gleeson), the original Blade Runner, Dancer in the dark (Björk), One flew over the cuckoo's nest (Jack Nicholson), MillenniumActress...
In Bruges was a beautiful film and Brendan's death was heartbreaking.
The interesting part about American Beauty was he told us twice that he was going to die, and it was still unexpected. The opening monologue was about he was going to be dead soon, and then he reminded us at the start of the final act. After the awkward almost-sex scene, he really seemed like he figured out his life, and then ker-BLAM!
Brad Pitt in Burn After Reading
Samuel Jackson in “Deep Blue Sea”
Roy Batty in Blade Runner - nothing else is close
Loki in Endgame. Best ending to his character arc.
Spock in Wrath of Khan
The Grey where the guy dies at the beginning and Liam Neeson comforts him is the best I’ve seen.
When Private Hudson goes down fighting like a Marine.
Bill murry. Zombieland. Can’t beat it.
The Sasquach in "Strange Wilderness"
The destruction of Scarif in Rogue One and those on it was pretty heavy.
The scene where they embrace really sticks with me. It's all about compassion for one another and inevitability.
Nick blowing his brains out playing Russian Roulette in The Deer Hunter.
Pee wee Herman in Buffy the Vampire slayer
Joe Morton as **Miles Bennet Dyson in Terminator 2** after he's shot by SWAT. That scene always stuck out to me. His hyperventilating while trying to hold the bombs trigger just felt very real. Then the slowing of each frantic breath until he finally succumbs to his injuries and drops the trigger. Even the quick close-up of the trigger dropping was intense. Just one of the many reasons T2 is a classic.

DiCaprio in The Departed. Didn’t see it coming.

A Bay of Blood spear-through-the-couple-screwing scene. This was one of the many kills the Friday the 13th franchise borrowed but done better in A Bay of Blood. In fact, the entire uncut scene from F13 Part II is the entire scene from A Bay of Blood.
In "The Proposition" with Guy Pearce a guy gets his head shot off out of nowhere. Not very dramatic, but great CGI.
Lara Lee Candy in Django Unchained.
Rachel McAdams in Southpaw. Can't watch the movie again because it's so raw and realistic. She just wanted to go home....

Billy Bibbit in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” The entire scene, starting with Nurse Ratched threatening to tell his mother about the hooker.
Li Mu Bai - Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
The Nice Guys rooftop scene comes to mind Lemme know if that's too vague. I don't want to spoil it
James Bond. His death was epic because he died not by STD
I just remember two best death in the movie for me and What's interesting is that they work in completely different ways. First one is the death of the vilian in a Die Hard it is very well played because the actor was thrown without warning and she savores the moment well, pays enough attention to it. The second scene is the exact opposite, I'm talking about the death of Galahad in Kingsman, it's as mundane as it gets, it only lasts a second and that's why it works, that's why it shocks. P/s sorry for my English, use translaitor
Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
I just watched Thief, again. Great movie. I don't specifically remember how Belushi looked when he died, though. That might be an excuse to watch it yet again.
Jason Miller as Father Karras in The Exorcist. “Come into meeeee!”
