Common sense dictates that a thread about movie deaths would contain spoilers.
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.
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.
Jenny in Forrest Gump
Gage in Pet Cemetery
Jamie in A Walk to Remember
Kate in My Sister's Keeper
All the kids in Testament (this whole movie is devastating)
