Brooks from The Shawshank Redemption.

Also any established dog character's death gets to me (Marley and Me, Hachi, Old Yeller, etc)

Bing Bong in Inside Out. Ellie in Up. Wash in Serenity. Apollo Creed in Rocky 4. Joyce in Buffy, Fred in Angel.

You should edit your post and keep it to just movies. This is a movie subreddit after all.

John Coffey in The Green Mile for sure.

Close runner up would be Thomas Jay in My Girl

Johnny in The Outsiders

There is one character in Dragged Across Concrete, and I refuse to spoil who, who's death was so disturbing that I had to pause the film for 5 minutes to get over how upsetting it was.

What a fucking phenomenal movie though. Just pure class from beginning to end. The most self assured filmmaking I've witnessed in years.

Snape in Deathly Hallows p1

Hodor in Game of Thrones

Dewey in Scream (2022) 😔

Two in the same flick, Vader and Yoda in Jedi.

You mean part 2?

Murphey getting gunned down in Robocop

Yeah true I didn't really think about that. Just edited it now.

Adam Goldberg's death scene in Saving Private Ryan. Slow knife kill by a nazi while the writer cowers on the stairs.

Yeah that was hard he survived all the other ones but the killer finally got him for good this time.

Indeed, oops
