No Pacino in Scarface? Defoe in Platoon? Cagney at the end of White Heat? And if it's a quiet death you want - Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy? What about Jimmy Durante in It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World?

Surely Jennifer Lopez must have died at some time, in some movie. Didn't she die in Jersey Girl?

Pacino dies in Scarface? Great, thanks for the spoiler warning, Slack. Geez.

I'm of course referring to Chet Pacino, who has a small role near the beginning of the movie.

Interesting take on movie deaths.

Are there lists for un-wanted movie deaths?

Paris Hilton was in a movie?

Yeah, but it was shot in night-vision and most of it is pretty grainy.

Ah, yes. La petite mort.

I've seen that one and it would have been better if she got snuffed at the end.

Oh dear. For some bizarre reason I saw My Girl in the cinema. I giggled all the way through Macauley's death scene.

There was that annoying woman in Pitch Black who didn't die until the very end. They killed off everyone interesting and WOULDN'T KILL HER! Until the end, when my friends and I cheered.

Not sure how her death didn't make it on to the list.

Both the most welcome AND the most surprising death I have ever seen in a movie was Brad Pitt in "Meet Joe Black."

That movie is terrible, but I rewound his death scene at least half a dozen times when I rented it...

I went with a friend to see My Girl when it came out. We gave it about thirty minutes and then snuck into another theater room and watched Silence of the Lambs instead.
