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!

The Prestige
I love this movie. It’s one of the few I’ll gladly rewatch because it keeps me engaged and the story keeps unfolding until the very end. Plus it has David Bowie playing Tesla which is one of my favorite people from history. If you haven’t seen it, watch it!
Fantastic movie. Somebody suggested I watch it and they were going to tell me about it an I was like “No don’t tell me anything, I like to go in blind”. I didn’t look up anything about it either. Went in completely blind and holy moly what a wild ride. If you’re reading this, and you have never heard of this movie, I highly suggest you go watch it.
I suppose the fact that it’s in this thread gives something away, but it actually doesn’t.
I will add that while I love The Prestige, its sister movie The Illusionist is also worth a watch or two.
