7: 43 V for Vendetta is an absolute underrated masterpiece of a film. It is one of my personal favorites of the Wachowskis You’ve got such an incredible cast in this film I mean HUGO WEAVING’S V STILL gives me full body chills and Natalie Portman’s vulnerable yet strong Evie was just perfection. The cinematography in this film is just incredible, the slow mo shots of V’s fight sequences are just the cherry on top.

Oh oh! I have a good one too but it would spoil it if I say the title. Also, you really don't expect it and it happens so suddenly that you just can't digest it. I can private message you the title if you want. Oorr we could play a guessing game

The 1983 remake Scarface’ is still one of my most favorite Hollywood remakes of all time.
The antihero Tony Montana messed up badly after killing his best friend/brother in law for no reason and also failed to save his younger sister Gina.

10: 00 I prefer to think that Thelma and Loise ended in the exact same way as The Wrestler- In both films, after much conflict, self reflection and personal growth, in the final shot, the titular heroes all learn to fly.

15: 50 She was the protagonist for act I of the film. I think that is why the death is so shocking. She has been the main character of the film so for, but from this point the lead changes to the Motel owner.

The first movie I saw where the death of the protagonist shocked me was 15 Minutes. I went in expecting DeNiro to be the hero who prevails in the end only to be devastated when he’s unceremoniously killed off.

Marcus Wright - Terminator Salvation
John Connor and T-850 maybe the current protagonists of the franchise, but as a stand alone feature, Marcus carried most of the plot thread as a redemption story.

Qui-Gon in the Phantom Menace. Also Optimus Prime in the 1986 Transformers movie, which as far as I know is the only time the protagonist has ever been killed in a mainstream animated children’s film.

Leon the Profesisonal took the villainous cop Stansfield down with him.
Leon: This. is from. Mathilda.
Stansfield: (seeing no way to save himself from Leon's last bundle of grenades) Shit.

Kevin Spacey's chilling monologue after his death in American Beauty always gives me the feels. Also, I was so shocked that the Sixth Sense ending, that I had to rewind the tape, just to double check.

The Road to Perdition was based on real Irish mobsters. John Rhommey was based on John Loomy who operated in Iowa & Illinois. And who my father ran illegal booze to Loomy 's speak easys.

Ah.
Thelma and Louise.
The original progressives.
Headed towards that cliff with the throttle mashed to the floor.
Nothing has changed since then, it seems.

I love how Psycho epically subverted expectations, by having you believe that Janet Leigh was the protagonist. But after she takes a shower, it's literally curtains for her!

1. Robocop
2. The Crow
3. Alien 3
They never said the character had to die at the end nor did they say that the character couldn't be resurrected.

John Kramer's (Jigsaw's) death in Saw III should have been mentioned because is the protagonist of the Saw franchise even though he is also the main villain

You got Bonnie and Clyde, but not Easy Rider Big miss. Also I would add the original Night of the Living Dead. Saw it in 1969 and its still shocking.
