* Last of the Mohicans: when you get down to it, the whole movie was about the passing of a people and their culture, but ...

Utterly agreed. That movie is heart-wrenching. It always slips from my lists every time I think about movies, and I'm not sure how. The score is powerful and evocative, the cinematography is perfect, the acting is just spot-fucking-on and as you point out, the last half hour is just an orgy of violence that is made all the more brutal by the emotional investment in the characters.

* Gattaca: The final montage. Jude law commits pyro-kiri as Ethan Hawke ascends to the stars, never to return- "You want to know how I did it?! THIS is how I did it, Anton! I never saved anything for the swim back!".

Okay, while Gattaca is one of my favourite films ever (period) and is so jammed full of cinematic goodness that I can't even begin to compliment it enough... I never ever got the impression that Ethan wasn't returning. I understand you've repeated a very poignant quote that perhaps demonstrates this point, but I've never looked at it that way... I guess I never contemplated that part.

Alien: The first appearance of the larval alien.

And Scott was so ebil that he haven't told the other actors what precisely will happen to John Hurt in that scene.

Veronica Catwright has freaked out very good. :ebil:

I'd have gone on and quoted this line from that Blade Runner eulogy, I love it: All these memories gone like ... ung ... tears in rain. Time to die, and I loved the doctor's quote to him: The candle that burns twice as bright burns twice as fast, and you've shined, oh so brightly.

My original contributions, the final scene of 2001 (do I need to spoil these, seriously, who hasn't seen these movies?): an endless cycle of death and rebirth in that white room, chilling ... also nice: It's full of stars!.

The most awesome group death scene I remember seeing as a kid has to be the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark: The death angels, the trenchcoat Nazi when his face literally melts off his, um ... face. And then Belloq exploding in the end!! I was blown away by that whole scene and remember my reaction to this day! :D

The death of the boat operator in Jaws was gut wrenching, gnaahh!, as he was slowly eaten in half by the shark while trying to push it away.

And for some reason I still remember the final scene of Red Dawn when Patrick Swazie his carrying his dying little brother away and the general lets him pass so they can spend time together before he dies, in the snowy, quiet playground.
