Drive. The elevator scene, motel scene, diner scene.

American History X. The curb scene.

And although not a death scene, Jessica Alba's beating in The Killer Inside Me is brutal.

Two jump to mind. Connery's death in The Untouchables and the girl's suicide in The Rules of Attraction.



I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

the ending 'slow stabbing scene'. I have watched this only once, and skip over it when I watch the movie again.


THIS ONE. Sickens me. I've watched it twice and skip over as well.

Many already in this thread, so I'll add Mufasa's death on Lion King.

The one eyed, one legged Vietnamese villager who Bunny caved in his skill with his shotgun butt in Platoon. Pure madness and unchecked cruelty. Hard to watch. Monsterous.

The unsuccessful attempt by the USAF PJ trying to stem Jamie Smith's femoral leg wound in Blackhawk Down. Tragic in the extreme.

The scene at the end of Glory where they throw the commanding officer's body in with his fallen troops. The fact it actually happened and that once they figured out that they put a white officer's body in a mass grave they wrote to the family asking if they would like them to dig it back up and give him full military honors. The family said he should stay with his troops.
Due to erosion their bodies were removed by the army years later and put in a grave in South Carolina marked "unknown". They are still buried together, brothers-in-arms.

Gets me every time.

I feel silly for mentioning another animated movie but the scene in Toy Story 2 where the Jessie the cowgirl doll gets discovered by her beloved owner after being abandoned under the bed. Jessie is elated to be rediscovered by her owner, but then gets taken by her owner to a donation drop-off bin.

Makes me think of my now grownup kids and how my wife and I were once their entire world and how they were ours. And how that will never happen again.

Pixar knows how to make a tearjerker.

Mine would have to be in Red Dawn, when Jed puts a grenade in Toni's (Jennifer Grey's) hand. She was finished, but still in the fight.

Another one, more obscure...the drowning scene from Sometimes a Great Notion (also called Never Give an Inch), the logging movie starring Paul Newman. A guy is stuck on a log, and is slowly rolled under the surface. Newman tries in vain to deliver air to him, but the guy starts laughing of all things and succumbs.
