Can't argue with most on this list, just seems as if it could be 50 instead of 25.
Give me till tomorrow to ponder this and I'll come up with several who would be on this list.
While I'm typing I thought of a few right off the bat
Marley (Marley and Me)
The female boxer (Hillary Swank) in Million Dollar Baby (this one really pissed me off)
Sonny Corleone (Godfather)
Any others???
OK I thought of a few more
Vincent in Pulp Fiction
John Wayne's character (Sgt Something) in Sands of Iwo Jima (I think that was the movie)
Sean Connery's character (again I forget his name) in The Untouchables
And Old Yeller--Old Yeller
BTW, Sonny Corleone WAS on the list.
How about John Wayne in "The Cowboys?" That was a shocker to me.
Another one: the War Correspondent (can't think of the actor's name right now) in "Objective Burma."
Quint in Jaws
I said I would ponder on this one and add a few more
Jenny---Forrest Gump
Bruce Willis--The Sixth Sense
Tom Hanks ( Capt Miller) Saving Pvt Ryan
I just don't remember her name, but the wife in Up (this one really upset me also)
How about HAL --2001
And you can add many guys who played soldiers in so many war movies. It was ALWAYS the guy they wanted you to like and then BOOM, he was shot, blown up, or whatever and he was gone.
The same can be said for many early gangster movies. Gosh Cagney, Bogart, Robinson died so many times that people just got used to it.
Most memorable.....
Like Lenn said, there were a lot of memorable deaths in gangster movies (a favorite genre of mine).
Among the most memorable to me....
James Cagney in The Roaring 20's....what a death scene!
Cagney again in White Heat..."Top of the world, Ma!"
And once again in "Public Enemy"
Edward G. Robinson in Little Ceasar if only for the famous line..."Mother of Mercy, is this the end of Rico?"
Non gangster related, I remember the shock I felt when I finally realized Bruce Willis had been dead for most of the Sixth Sense.
i remember being surprised when Steven Seagall bought the farm so early in Executive Decision.
