I was in the "executive office" taking care of some "paperwork" a bit earlier, and I got to pondering, as I often do.

Can you name a movie in which -every- character (major, minor, bit, other) dies?

I thought of two. Stalingrad, btw, is not one of them. And one of them is arguable on a technicality.

Hmm i was thinking along the linse of Saving private ryan(sortta) and space cowboys?

**Rex Raider** · 02-13-2004, 08:18 PM

Only Tommy Lee Jones died in Space Cowboys. Everyone else lived.

And in Private Ryan, Ryan lived, so that disqualifies it.

BBcamaroSS · 02-13-2004, 08:40 PM

Atleast tommy lee jones died,,,,

Scarface? Hamlet?

**Ming** · 02-13-2004, 10:45 PM

Event Horizon comes to mind...

and Alien 3...

Basically any action, horror, or sci-fi movie where the main character sacrifices himself/herself for the greater good after all of the other characters have been killed off.

Generally these "French Endings" are not well received in America. :lol:

Keep in mind, I'm talking -every- -single- character, no matter how brief.

The one's I'm thinking of are relatively obscure, and both by the same director.

Blah

I don't watch many movies

**Ghrankenstein** · 02-15-2004, 03:57 AM

Alrighty. Both flicks -I'm- thinking of are both pre-1985, and I'm shocked that other geeks haven't gotten at least one right. Both are fairly obscure, especially the first, but the director is well known.

**Rex Raider** · 02-15-2004, 07:45 AM

That's the problem Ghrank. Most of the guys don't remember stuff before 1985.

**Ghrankenstein** · 02-16-2004, 09:38 AM

Alrighty, I'll kill it then. The two flicks are both John Carpenter movies: "The Thing" has the two surviving characters about to freeze to death at the end. In Dark Star, the space ship is blown up by an overly philosophical bomb.
