**Movies in which the death of a main character is shown**  
…  
3. Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid (Butch & Sundance)…

I disagree about this one. The movie is quite purposeful in _not_ showing their deaths. Instead, how about:

1. Breaker Morant (Lts. Morant and Handcock)

**Movies That Have Realistic Labor Scenes**

1. Knocked Up
2. Juno
3. Children of Men
4. The Big Red One
5. Apocalypto
6. Alien

No one said it had to be a _human_ birth. And it’s realistic as far as we know!
