That's the nature of spoilers. Until it sneaks up and bites you (a movie you haven't seen). You don't go looking for it. People who listen to reviews on the radio, read reviews online or in the paper or magazine, are desensitized to spoilers - they don't have a concept of being surprised by a movie. They feel they have to be convinced to go out and pay money to see it.

Spoiler
that's what these things are for...

I forgot about Guido's death in Life is Beautiful! I was bawling my eyes out in the theater! Sheeze, that movie...

What about when the daughter gets shot on the steps right outside the church in, what was it, Godfather 4?

J.B. Books, The Shootist. You know it's coming, from the beginning of the movie, and it is meaningful, but even so, it is heartbreaking.

Will Andersen; his death comes as a surprise if one doesn't know the story, and to this day I think it was actually too gruesome and superfluous. All it does is become a catalyst for evil. The book is a little different.
Spoiler
John Wayne's The Cowboys

Besides, I've never gotten over (almost) everybody dying in John Wayne's The Alamo...

Here's one which has nothing to do with The Duke. It's a TV series, but I think these days it ranks as a movie because of its high quality:
Gus in Lonesome Dove.

And another sad death, signaling the end of the Old West: Tom Horn.
