"Rosebud."....<br /><br />My all time favorite is the ending of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Thelma and Louise has the same ending. I like that one, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-73544821748821383472009-11-18T09:13:40.059-05:002009-11-18T09:13:40.059-05:00Some not-so-famous death scenes, but ones which st...Some not-so-famous death scenes, but ones which struck me nevertheless were Rachel's death in The Dark Knight, Naomi Watt's ex's death in The Ring and Gollum's death in LOTR.Hazrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441208944580008891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-43201024042772686982009-11-18T00:59:35.285-05:002009-11-18T00:59:35.285-05:00I remember Jaws!

I'm not sure what I would choose as my favorite death scene; although La Bamba was rather moving from a music-loving perspective. And no, I have no idea why of all the movies that could have come up, that's the one which popped into my head.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917705393662132891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-12408289452546144702009-11-16T23:18:01.854-05:002009-11-16T23:18:01.854-05:00I just watched the Wizard of Oz last night and rem...I just watched the Wizard of Oz last night and remembered how much I love that scene.

I love that movie and haven't watched it in far too long.<br /><br />A favourite scene on mine is when Nicholas Cage's twin brother in Adaptation (also played by, um, Nicholas Cage :P) dies.

Hubby was just to ineffably wimpy to do it. Though I would like to see the other version. <br /><br />Poor Fredo. He broke Michael's heart, you know. I always wonder what they do with the body.

But my...So many death scenes, so little bandwidth!<br /><br />But my all-time favorite for melodramatic wonderfulness is the scene in "Imitation of Life" (the Lana Turner one) when her maid dies and her light-skinned daughter who has spurned her mother, wanting to appear white, finally realizes her great loss and falls onto the casket sobbing her heart out with Mahalia Jackson singing Trouble of the World in the background. I sobbed my own heart out watching this as a teenager. When it was over, I found my mother and have her a huge hug and told her I loved her.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.com
