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.
Time Bandits!
