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!
Great film! The transformation scared the crap outta me when I somehow saw it on tv as a kid.
Children of Men was also a good one. Trying to think what others, but I love when the hero dies because life is rarely fair and just and an unlikely happy ending ruins a story pretty effectively.
There have probably been dozens of movies where the hero was supposed to die at the end but audience screenings or studio execs interfered.
