Thank you! I am a newbie. Theoden's death scene is really good, as is Gollum's (YAY!). I'm not sure if this could be considered a death scene, but what about Sauron's (When Barad-Dur falls)? There's also Sydney Carton's in A Tale Of Two Cities (That should count, since I was in a play of that), and Rasputin's death scene in Anastasia. That's all I can think of that haven't been mentioned.

How about Frank Miller in High Noon? We hardly know the guy, but his death is signifigant, and touching the way Amy makes him drop his guard so that Kane can kill him, even though she's supposedly against violence.

I personally wouldn't say it HAD to be done, but I do of course see WHY he did it. It's a situation I'd never want to be put in, having to make the choice of whether or not to do it. What great writing.

I was just re-watching a bunch of Star Trek episodes, and they do really good death scenes.
Such as: Chaotica in that weird episode with the photonic aliens in the holodeck.

Jasmine the lady - Secondhand Lions (So sad.)
Jasmine the lion - Seconhand Lions (Even sadder.) Theoden - RotK (I cried.) Grandpa Gee - Extreme Days (Not the saddest, but still uncool.) Jesus - Passion of the Christ (Bittersweet.)

Oh, yeah! Very sad indeed, especially because he was the one who carried the order, and he didn't even know it. So sad.

One of my favorite death scenes is Count Rugen in the Princess Bride (ie. the six fingered man, ie. Christopher Guest)
I am so happy! I got to play Count Rugen in a play version of the movie, and my death was SOO COOL!!! Ah, death.

I forget, but have Romeo and Juliet been mentioned yet? But here's another cool one: Bernardo and Riff's death scenes in West Side Story!
