2.9 - Best melee death - General Maximus Decimus Meridius, Gladiator

He is poisoned, but still manages to kill the emperor before dying himself.

If I find a more complete vid, I'll update.

ntndeacon · 04-24-2009, 10:03 PM

I realize I am in a very small minority when I dont know something from Seinfeld. But in terms of deaths. not only was it a bigger character. (was with the show three seasons) but there is NO way that any death that happened on Seinfeld was bigger than Col. Blake's. That was an iconic moment in the show. I am sure we will come up with other deaths that are Iconic to the show they represent.

I also realize that iwill not ever win one of these because I am older than alot of folks...well not Buccaneer.

wade moore · 04-24-2009, 10:35 PM

cartman - not heroic death?

Schmidty · 04-24-2009, 10:44 PM

I am so happy no one picked this one:

2.10 - Best Suicide Scene - Dr. Strangelove - Major "King" Kong gloriously bronco rides the nuke to it's destination.

I just watched this again a few weeks ago, and this always cracks me up.

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 04-24-2009, 10:51 PM

Schmidty that was one that came to mind immediately for me.

ntndeacon · 04-24-2009, 10:53 PM

stevew · 04-24-2009, 11:02 PM

I will snag a video when I get home if there is one. I know casino was not the most opular movie and was mediocre but it was awesome and melee was hard for me to think of

I definitely didn't think Casino was mediocre and love the pick. It was a fuckin brutal death scene. They made him watch his brother die before really going to work on him.

stevew · 04-24-2009, 11:12 PM

I meant mediocre for Martin S movies but its taxing to type on this phone.

I can see that strategy. but it wasn't a suicide. to me that makes it a bad selection in that category. in another category it would have been inspired.

stevew · 04-24-2009, 11:27 PM

I couldn't get into strangelove.

I couldn't either the first few times, but it clicked for me the last two times. I love it now.

I'm not making the "cool" picks that most FOFCers will like, such as shows like The Wire (never watched it), or "The Shield (that either). I'm just going with the ones I liked. I guess I know I won't win, but I'll have fun with my picks.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting quite a bit of ridicule for my picks and my strategery is backfiring horribly!

Strangelove is a great pick.

It definitely could have fit that category as well, but I think there are fewer melee deaths to choose from that are memorable than there are heroic deaths.

Karlifornia · 04-25-2009, 02:10 AM

It's funny how I'm thinking about this at different times. Like, just now, I was walking to my car after leaving the liquor store, and a death just popped into my head that made me go "Holy fuck I hope that's still there when my pick comes around".

Chief Rum · 04-25-2009, 03:03 AM

Man, I admit when I saw this thread go up, I was sorta "WTH?!?" and didn't come in. Now that I have and see what's going on and realize this draft's potential, I am thinking this is going to be pretty flippin' awesome. Half the movies made involve some sort of death, for cryin' out loud. And while TV is less "death friendly", there are choices there to be had.

I have noticed one trend already, and I am interested to see if it continues, or if people will begin to pickup on options outside of that trend at some point.

BTW, this is probably obvious, so I'll feel stupid later, but whatever--what the heck is "ToD"?

Temple of Doom, the Indiana Jones movie.

AENeuman · 04-25-2009, 03:38 AM

2.12 Death in a TV show, Mr. Hooper, Sesame Street

(sorry i have not figured out the embed thing)
YouTube - Classic Sesame Street: I'm Sure Gonna Miss You, Mr. Hooper!

To this day it is used in helping kids deal with loss.

3.1 Best Death in an Action movie, Nazi face melt, Raiders of the Lost Ark

YouTube - face melter

I really wanted dr. strangelove or deer hunter, good picks

Good pick though, i had it on my list, could go for hero death, and suicide too.

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 04-25-2009, 06:49 AM

stevew - Maybe I'm in the minority but I think Casino is a masterpiece and that scene is an awesome pick.

stevew · 04-25-2009, 08:09 AM

I know there's like a million deaths in the Sopranos, so it was hard to come up with the one to use. In my opinion, this one stood out more than any other.

3.2 Best TV Death-Sil whacks Adriana-The Sopranos

DeToxRox · 04-25-2009, 09:57 AM

Finally have all the picks updated.

lordscarlet · 04-25-2009, 10:55 AM

OK, I finally put together a spreadsheet -- CT's addition of an 11th category meant I had to mess with the old version some.

larrymcg just earned my official LAST PLACE VOTE, for posting a scene from a non-existent movie. This never happened, larry. It never happened.

Schmidty · 04-25-2009, 11:51 AM

3.3 - Best Shooting Death - Bambi's mom gets shot - Bambi

This one was and is very disturbing for me and a lot of others that saw it as a kid.

Great picks, I'm glad you got 2 high on your list despite missing out on Strangeglove.

cartman · 04-25-2009, 12:03 PM

3.4 Best death in a TV show - Scott Tenorman's parents, South Park

Was there any doubt that I would make this pick? Consistently rated one of the top moments in the 13 (and counting) seasons of South Park, Cartman gets his revenge on Scott Tenorman by orchestrating the deaths of Scott's parents, and serving them to him in a bowl of chili.

DeToxRox · 04-25-2009, 12:06 PM

3.5 - Jason Voorhees - Serial Killer

He may not be a classic serial killer, but Jason has 154 kills to his name over the span of his career. 154! He is the premier murderer, and as the highlight package above shows, he doesn't fuck around.

lordscarlet · 04-25-2009, 12:07 PM

Maybe I'm just too far behind on southpark, but I didn't even know that happened.

I thought of that one early as well. I love the Adriano getting shot pick, that was such a WTF momoent.

Radii · 04-25-2009, 06:21 PM

3.09 Best Melee Death - Private Mellish knife death - Saving Private Ryan

Of all the death experienced in this movie, the hand to hand combat and the slow, painful scene where the knife is driven into the Private's chest is probably the toughest for me to watch.

Karlifornia · 04-25-2009, 07:28 PM

I thought about that, Radii. If there's one death to take in Saving Private Ryan, it's that one.

Sun Tzu · 04-25-2009, 08:06 PM
