A list of actors who make a habit of dying on the big screen.
These actors have given up the ghost more times than any non-henchmen ever should have too. They're still chalking up the R.I.Ps even when I've excluded their voice over work.
Obviously, a list about character deaths is going to be loaded with more SPOILERS than a 2 fast 2 furious convention. Read on with caution.
There's also Paul Winfield, who has died in a number of movies, including Star Trek II and, I believe, Terminator. The sci-fi ones especially seem to be his deathknell.
Caravaggio - Throat slit
The Field - Bayonet to stomach
Lorna Doone - Drowned
Clarissa - Stabbed to death by Sean Pertwee
Tell Me That You Love Me - Suicide
Patriot Games - Impaled through the back on a boat
Scarlett - Crushed by a satellite dish
Airborne - Don't know how
Don't Say a Word - Buried alive and
The Island - Hung
The man's a living legend, and I'll stick by this to death. I understand if you don't wish to add all these ridiculously obscure death scenes.
Leonardo di Caprio! Titanic, Bloody Diamond, Romeo + Juliet, Gangs of New York, The Departed, The Basketball Diaries, Critters 3! This as far as I remember... I'm not sure about What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
Robert de Niro.. Godfather, The Untouchables, Great Expectations, The Mission, Cape Fear... I think there's more, but neither I or my broyfriend are sure.... The ones we believe are Taxi Driver, Casino and Jackie Brown
I don't think he dies in Untouchables, just gets sent to prison. And Taxi Driver is a bit controversial whether he is deceased or not... Are you sure about Casino!? I'll have to consult my oracle buddy before adding him! I'm not sure he died in The Godfather II either.
Noup, I'm not sure. I was sure about Leonardo di Caprio's thousand deaths and just asked my boyfriend to be sure... But he liked this and now he's saying a thousand dead men.. Robert de Niro's is all his.
And, well... My boyfriend really liked this ;P
James Cromwell: The Green Mile, I, Robot , Eraser, The General´s Daughters, Species II..... And he's not sure about Space Cowboy and Babe: Pig In The City
GA is right. De Niro didn't die in Godfather Part II (which was the only one he was in!), The Untouchables or Casino!
DiCaprio didn't die in Gangs of New York. Although the final scene depicts the graves of Bill & Priest decaying through the ages. Which doesn't count as a death scene for DiCaprio!
James Cromwell didn't die in Green Mile.
If he was to count every off-screen death after the credits roll, then this would be a pretty pointless list!
Wow...I don't know whether to feel disappointed in my own will power that I ended up reading all the spoilers, or sad that I'd already seen them all and they couldn't actually be spoilers!. Awesome list!
The Bucket List, The Departed, Mars Attacks! (both of his characters), Hoffa, Batman, The Shining, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Passenger and Easy Rider.
Robert De Niro in The Fan and I believe he is killed in Sam's Song & The Swap although they are basically the same movie. A character who often plays a villain will end up on this list which is a good one.
I'm sure Harvey Keitel died in more movies than that but he only died once in Taxi Driver. Never noticed Quentin Tarantino died that many times but did he die in Little Nicky?

Spoiler warning added!
I considered character names and mechanism of death, it may appear later on.

And Willem Dafoe dies in xXx2: State of the Union
ok ok. I´m stop now
Except 24: Redemption, which doesn't sound like a proper movie!

And this list has a few reasons why I hardly ever watch any of Leo's films; the dude needs to get meds.
