Decided to watch An American Werewolf in London last night because I don’t know if I’ve ever watched the movie. I knew how it ended because it’s 45 years old and there’s been plenty of videos on it, but I had never actually watched it. It was quite enjoyable.
It got me thinking about how many good movies end with the main hero/protagonist(s) dying. I can think of quite a few great movies off the top of my head, but I wanted to hear from Lemmy on their favorites!
Donnie Darko and Hero are the only two movies I really like that I can think of where the main character dies at the end.
Arguably, Donnie dies at the beginning.
oooh. ooh. that makes me think about a movie where the protagonists parents die at the end by touching pure evil.
Time Bandits.
I saw that in the theater, at age seven.
My parents also took us to see Airplane! when it was released. No complaints. My parents were nuts, but we knew this.
