This really isn’t your usual list of memorable movie deaths. For a start, there’s no ranking or countdown to the best one. Some incredibly well-known and famous death scenes aren’t featured. Instead, this is a list which celebrates the simple fact that in real life, death is a painful and tragic thing which we avoid, yet in films they’re often some of the most celebrated and creative parts which we watch over and over again. Funny that.

So here are 50 memorable deaths from a whole range of movies. Some you’ll know like the back of your hand, but a whole list of them would be boring, so others you may not know at all. There are some poignant deaths, some spectacular deaths, and mainly some pretty terrible deaths. But watch and enjoy them all, and suggest more in the comments.

Also, we’re broken this over two pages. As we’ve said before, we’re never going to ask you for 20-30 clicks to read through one of our features. But for a piece this long, it seems to make sense all round just to put a page break in.
