Heroic film deaths! (Might contain FILM ****SPOILERS*****)
Johnny C:
The best heroic death movie is Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch."
I'm serious.
Bunnyman:
Which, the four dudes or the seven hundred Mexicans?
LeeZion:
Since the original topic was cool movie deaths, and not necessarily heroic deaths, I'm going to throw out a few oddball choices.
Toshiro Mifune in Throne of Blood. If you've seen it (Kurosawa doing Shakespeare's Macbeth), you'd know exactly what I'm talking about. It takes 15 minutes for him to die!
Tira (is that her name? I forget) in the anime version of Metropolis.
And the most obscure of all: Turtles Can Fly. This film was made in Iraq after Saddam Hussein fell. It takes place in a Kurdish village, and all the Kurds in the movie hate Saddam and eagerly await the arrival of the U.S. forces. But that isn't to say the Americans are shown as heroes, either. You'll have to see for yourself.
If you ever get a chance to see it, you'll understand why I feel so strongly about this film. It shows what war does to children, and the characters really stick with you. Especially the ones that don't make it.
Gillian Kauffe:
It wasn't heroic but by far the most awesome death was that of R.P.Mcmurphy in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Also Andy Kaufman in Man On The Moon.
Switchblade:
Tom Hanks' character in "Saving Private Ryan"
Asuka, End of Evangelion (although I'm a little confused about that one. Did she actually die or not?)
Ken Watanabe in "the Last Samurai"
Boromir
Knockout Ned (City of God)
Anonymous Rebel Pilot #16 (Kamikaze'd his fighter into the Super star destroyer in return of the jedi)
Anonymous Jedi Kid #1 (Episode 3, goes down fighting)
Qui-Gonn Jin.
This one's not from a movie, but a book: Kage (Last Chancers novels, "Annihilation Squad")
