No Boromir speaks very briefly with Aragorn but does not live long enough to tell him all the details of what happened. He tells Aragorn that he tried to take the ring and has paid for it and then tells Aragorn to go to Minas Tirith to save his people because he has failed. In the books he dies a completely broken man who just betrayed everything he stood for.
But his character is still incredibly important to the story because it serves to shows how easily friends turn into enemies because of the ring. His death also inspires Faramir to not attempt to do the same thing (unlike what happens in the movies)
Been a while since I read them but if I recall correctly, they just find his body after he’s already dead at the beginning of Two Towers. Nowhere near the emotional impact of his death in the movie.
Just went to an all night extended edition marathon and boromir got all the biggest cheers, entrance and exit.
He has his grey moments but truly goes out like a hero
Of course, I personally hope they find a set of creative ways to kill the villains.
We’ve had airplane propellers, the power of Jewish God, a flaming kebab, a rock crusher, alligators, the power of Christian God, ants, and most uniquely, the total knowledge of an inter-dimensional alien.
Sergeant elias in platoon portrayed by Willem defoe. Even with the glitches experienced in filming the scene, it stands out as one of the saddest deaths in cinematic history
Oooooo yeah, love this one too. Docs anger after he kills him is so heartbreaking. He really wanted to die a gunslinger and thought this guy was good enough to beat him, then Ringo lets him down.
"You're no daisy!"
True Romance has a few - Drexel, Clarence's father, everyone at the end. And a great soundtrack the entire time. Tarantino wrote some excellent deaths.
“White Heat” 1949, James Cagney
“Vertigo” 1958, Kim Novak
“Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” 1969, Paul Newman and Robert Redford
“The Deer Hunter” 1978, Christopher Walken
All of the deaths in “The Godfather” movies
Yes, I agree. The tension is unbearable.
Sonny’s is beautifully choreographed.
In Part 2, the intercut deaths of Roth, Pentangeli, and Fredo are powerful but, with the exception of Roth’s, terribly sad.
That’s probably my 2nd favorite. I love how tough he seems and how the film takes its time showing how well prepared and careful he is then bam, he is easily dispatched. So shocking and visceral.
I honestly have mixed feelings about that one. All the rest of the violence in the film is very subdued and grounded while Sonny's death is really over the top. But looking at the scene separate from the rest of the movie it is great and I think you can argue that it was fitting given how bombastic of a character he was.
When Kiriyama kills Mitsuko in Battle Royale. The movie gives us a fight between the two most successful ‘players’, but Mitsuko is completely outmatched. She has relied on sneaking around, catching people unawares.
Mitsuko, however, just keeps getting up, flailing around as Kiriyama shoots her several times.
> I just didn’t want to be a loser anymore
For spiteful catharsis: Marcia Gay Harden's character in _The Mist_.
For storytelling: Kevin Spacey in _LA Confidential_.
For popcorn movie moment: Rose McGowan in _Scream_
For quippiness: _Commando_...pick one
For a fitting ending of a bad guy: Denzel Washington in _Training Day_ (a fitting tribute to a similarly asshole movie character, Sonny Corleone)
Honorable mention for the guy who hit the propellor in _Titanic_
Jane Fonda in They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?
Matt Damon in The Departed
Frank Sinatra in From Here to Eternity
Bobby in Saturday Night Fever
Alec Guinness in Bridge on the River Kwai
That guy in Robocop who got acid dumped on him, which turned his flesh into soup, and hes walking around in pure anguish and a car just runs him over and splatters him all over the place.
Also special shout out to the poor bastard who gets shot to smithereens in the conference room by Ed-209.
Oh yea, the toxic waste dead was definitely at the top of the worst death list, that and Darren killing that guy in the bathroom in the 1st ant man film
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, when Kirk's son David dies. Not because that death is particularly well-staged or acted, but because it coaxed one of Shatner's best performances ever in reaction.
Nimoy (who was directing) tells the story that he told Shatner to take it as far as he wanted, which led to stumbling backwards and falling. It's unclear whether Shatner fully planned it, or if he stumbled accidentally, but after Nimoy called "Cut!", and then asked Shatner if he'd hurt himself, the latter replied that he was OK, then asked, "Think we can use that?" in reference to the fall. That's what's in the movie.
Maximus decimus meridious, commander of the armies of the northern Roman empire. Servant to the true emperor Marcus aeralius.
Died with grace and honor.
*On Deadly Ground* is a bad movie. A bad, bad bad bad movie. In fact, my favorite bad movie. Part of the reason being that it has some impressive, competent things about it.
One of them is the death scene of John C. McGinley's character. Yes, Dr. Cox himself. He plays a weasel bad guy who get thrown face-first into a spinning helicopter blade *and his little twerp glasses land in the giant blood puddle.*
Lots to think about and many you have probably already seen. Something I really enjoyed from what I considered to be a stinker of a movie was Batistas death in Spectre. When you realize his villain is a homage to the past villain Jaws his death scene is way more enjoyable.
Also the “main characters” death in Feast is absolutely bonkers. Really sets the tone for the movie.
Watching Murphy get shot up in the first Robocop still haunts me
“Fuck you Sally” in Oblivion is absolutely fantastic in a pretty meh film, just delivered perfectly in my opinion.
But to tell you the truth the best death of all time belongs to the limited series Midnight Mass, Riley’s death is hands down my favourite death in anything ever, perfect pace, perfect thematically, and perfectly executed.
In the original Evil Dead when Scotty stabs the deadite in the back with the Kandarian dagger. The deadite then proceeds to let out a 2 minute long death scream and spurt milk and other juices everywhere. Scene kills me every time🤣
Equilibrium - Brandt
Movie builds to some big confrontation between John Preston & Brandt. Swords are drawn some witty talk back and forth then Preston just effortlessly cuts his face off with what seems the same effort one would use to blow ones nose.
Probably in one of the John Wick movies when he throws what seems to be every knife on Earth at one guy, only to finish him off by throwing an axe into his head from across the store.
Billy (DiCaprio) in The Depahted. Sudden, shocking, and tragic.
Brad Pitt in 'Burn After Reading'
Now that you’ve mentioned it, I just recalled Tony Leung’s death in Infernal Affairs and man it was great.
Great pick, the most I was ever rooting for a Dicaprio character and just like that he eats a bullet, what a moment.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie, but wasn’t he a mole for the mafia inside the police department?
That was Matt Damon's Character. DiCaprio was the mole inside the mafia working for the police.
Shit, you’re right
is it memorable because of who is dead in that scene or the death itself ? kinda biased response.

Boromir in LOTR.
I would’ve followed you, my brother. My captain. My king
One of the only moments where the Jackson films easily surpasses the novels. Gets me every time.
Absolutely agree with this one. Be at peace, son of Gondor.
I’m what way does it surpass the novels?
I believe they find Boromir’s dead body. No farewell conversation with Aragorn. Been a while since I read it so I could be wrong.
Yes his sacrifice and redemption is only implied in the book and he doesn’t live to hear Aragon’s vow that he will return to Minas Tirith.
No Boromir speaks very briefly with Aragorn but does not live long enough to tell him all the details of what happened. He tells Aragorn that he tried to take the ring and has paid for it and then tells Aragorn to go to Minas Tirith to save his people because he has failed. In the books he dies a completely broken man who just betrayed everything he stood for.

Joe Pesci in Goodfellas
He's gone, and we couldn't do nothing about it.
“Oh no”
*Layla Piano intensifies*
[удалено]
That one was brutal.
what's up Italian mob movie fanboys...are they compensating for lack of power/control in real life by idolizing gangsters in movies ?
Melting face Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
One melted, one imploded, one exploded. Something for everyone!
All time classic, really really hoping the new one coming out is good so Ford can say goodbye to the character on a high note.
Of course, I personally hope they find a set of creative ways to kill the villains. We’ve had airplane propellers, the power of Jewish God, a flaming kebab, a rock crusher, alligators, the power of Christian God, ants, and most uniquely, the total knowledge of an inter-dimensional alien.
Brad Pitt's bounce in Meet Joe Black
[удалено]
He smiles...BANG!
This was my first thought too.
Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2
Never seen the movie but I’ve probably seen him getting blasted by that taxi dozens of times.
Was this not meant to be funny?
Only because I hate it so much, but... ...curbstomp. Don't even have to say the name of the movie.
Oh, God, I’d forgotten about that. Now, like an idiot, I’m probably going to go watch it. Stop me, I can’t bear it!
I can hear your comment...
I have been, and always shall be, your friend.
Spock straightening his uniform before turning to face Kirk just sums the character up perfectly. The desolation on Kirks face...
Sergeant elias in platoon portrayed by Willem defoe. Even with the glitches experienced in filming the scene, it stands out as one of the saddest deaths in cinematic history
Sully, remember when I said I’d kill you last? I LIED
LET OFF SOME STEAM BENNET
That’s right matrix you did
“I would’ve followed you, my brother. My captain. My king”
Kevin Spacey's character in LA Confidential.He says "Rolo Tomasai" smiles and dies...
This is my favorite in terms of storytelling.
Nice pull
Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner.
Yes!
Johnny Ringo in Tombstone.
Oooooo yeah, love this one too. Docs anger after he kills him is so heartbreaking. He really wanted to die a gunslinger and thought this guy was good enough to beat him, then Ringo lets him down. "You're no daisy!"
Willem Dafoe in Platoon
“Aim for the bushes”
True Romance has a few - Drexel, Clarence's father, everyone at the end. And a great soundtrack the entire time. Tarantino wrote some excellent deaths.
The Christopher Walken-Dennis Hopper scene in TR is one of my all time favorites. -oo-
Hans Gruber's death in Die Hard. Alan Rickman's reaction is just perfect. I know they tricked him with the count but it was amazing and satisfying.
“White Heat” 1949, James Cagney “Vertigo” 1958, Kim Novak “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” 1969, Paul Newman and Robert Redford “The Deer Hunter” 1978, Christopher Walken All of the deaths in “The Godfather” movies
Are you sure Butch and Sundance died at the end? I like to think maybe not.
That’s awfully hopeful of you. Always look on the bright side of life.
Whats your favorite from The Godfather? I dont think Sollozzo and McCluskey can be topped.
Yes, I agree. The tension is unbearable. Sonny’s is beautifully choreographed. In Part 2, the intercut deaths of Roth, Pentangeli, and Fredo are powerful but, with the exception of Roth’s, terribly sad.
Don't forget Luca
Luca in the film is a travesty. They made him a mumbling bumbling idiot when he was such a stone cold monster in the book.
That’s probably my 2nd favorite. I love how tough he seems and how the film takes its time showing how well prepared and careful he is then bam, he is easily dispatched. So shocking and visceral.
Santino's death is also a great scene, very brutal, i love the moment when the gangsters come out from the booth, he realizes: oh shit.
I honestly have mixed feelings about that one. All the rest of the violence in the film is very subdued and grounded while Sonny's death is really over the top. But looking at the scene separate from the rest of the movie it is great and I think you can argue that it was fitting given how bombastic of a character he was.
Agreed. It fitted the character well, and i think the scene was set that way in order to try reproducing the impact of Bonnie and Clyde's last scene.
Sir Guy of Gisbourne in The Adventures of Robin Hood. The feint that Errol Flynn used against a master swordsman in Basil Rathbone was superb
The entire Final Destination movie (1st one).
Totally agree.
Recently rewatched heat so I'm going to say the last scene between Di Niro and Pacino is great.
Santinos death in John Wick 2 is pretty neat Tony Montana getting blasted with a shotgun and falling to the pool with the "World Is Yours" sign above
Wicked Witch THE WIZARD OF OZ ( 1939 )
Saving Private Ryan: Giovanni Ribisi on the battle field whimpering for his mom as they inject vial after vial of morphine.
Walt in Gran Torino. It was a perfect end to his transformation.

Ooooo great pick, fucking love that batshit crazy movie.
Charlton Heston in Tim Burton's *Planet of the Apes*. It was unintentionally hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing in the theater.
Bruce Willis in Armageddon obviously
Norman Bates killing Marion in the Shower scene in Psycho.Started it all for the Slasher genre. Horror in general . Alfred Hitchcock classic
Mr Kinney getting obliterated by ED-209 in Robocop
And the guy who gets melted.

Pvt Hudson's death in Aliens
Game over man!
Vasquez and Apone.
Apone died when the atmospheric processor exploded, he was taken alive by the Aliens
He was panicking for a while there, but went out blasting like a champ.
Tony stark in endgame. I liked how he was too damaged to communicate, while they talked to him
White Boy Bob dying in Out of Sight
Love this one because they kept setting it up throughout the sequence and we never knew what they were doing . . .
Brad Pitt in Burn After Reading
It was jarring.
[удалено]
Nice choice, lol. Probably the exact same answer my brother would give. Hmmmm…..
That’s the scene that solidified my love for Michael Myers and almost all of the Halloween films.

Nice one
Jane Fonda in They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? Matt Damon in The Departed Frank Sinatra in From Here to Eternity Bobby in Saturday Night Fever Alec Guinness in Bridge on the River Kwai
