Quality Movies In Which *Nobody* Dies?

Aggh! I could have sworn. Egad.

Okay, so Bud “Harold & Maude”, “Dogma” Cort.

I have the opposite view of jsc1953 on “It’s a Wonder Life.” To me, there’s too much death in it. In addition to George’s father, his brother has died in the Alternate Universe. The druggist gets a telegram telling him that his son has died. George has to fret about what to do with the mixed up Rx containing cyanide. And then there’s the bridge scene where George is about to commit suicide and the Angel pretends to commit suicide. A completely downer of a movie.

102

Not only that, it probably doesn’t qualify because George and Martha keep referring to a teenage son who’s just been killed in a car crash. Of course, it turns out the son never died because he never existed. George and Martha made him up as a part of their drunken mindgames with the other couple.

The Lion in Winter — An anonymous guard is stabbed in the throat on the stairs to the castle dungeon, and Queen Eleanor carefully steps over his body on her way down to rescue her sons.

(Slight hijack)

This thread reminds me of the odd things they did to Dragon Ball Z to make it suitable for US broadcast.

Instead of dying, people “went to another dimension”. :rolleyes:

Hell was changed to “Home For the Infinite Losers”, and various people wearing HELL shirts now sport the HFIL logo instead. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

…y’know, it might be better to expose “Sheldon” to death, rather than shelter him. Then he’ll be all nice and desensitized like the rest of us. :smiley:

I know that you believe that we believe that you believe that no-one dies in that movie, but we know that you know that we know this to be false, so you’ll never be King of England.

Wanted to say Real Genius … but nope. There’s that whole laser blast from the sky at the beginning.

How 'bout …

Doc Hollywood (The old doc has a heart attack but Doc Stone saves him.)
Beautiful Girls
Bend It Like Beckham
Guys and Dolls
The Sure Thing

Not to impugn on the sheer awesomeness of The Iron Giant, but there is a scene in which a deer is shot (offscreen), but it does lead into the philisophical discussion about “soul” between Hogarth and the Giant, and showcases the fact that the Giant does have a soul…

i just wish they weren’t so heavy handed with their “guns are bad” assertation, guns are inanimate objects, ot’s the person behind the trigger you need to be worried about…

we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread, already in progress

In It’s a Wonderful Life, George Bailey’s father dies, forcing him to stay in Bedford Falls running the Buliding & Loan.

109

The Muppet Movie

110

It’s been a while since I saw it, but several have mentioned Close Encounters. Doesn’t one person die when they (Richard Dreyfuss and company) are trying to sneak into the base at Pike’s Peak? Helicopter passes over them and nerve gasses them… Or is this another movie?

111

Nobody dies in “Requiem for A Dream”, “Pi”, “Super Troopers”, and “Jackass: The Movie”, but I don’t think they’d be appropriate fare for someone you’re trying to keep sheltered. :slight_smile:

112

That was some sort of sleeping gas, nothing fatal (and it was Devil’s Tower they were looking to climb, incidentally).

113

My Neighbor Totoro. The possibility of the mother dying is mentioned, but it’s asserted that she won’t. And then she doesn’t.

114

Is anyone actually killed in Kubrick’s “Clockwork Orange”

115

Um, yes.

Alex kills the woman by using the sculpture of the penis to bludgeon her to death. He is sent to prison for her murder.

116

I looked, but didn’t see the disqualification of this: in The Natural, the Harriet Bird character attempts to murder Roy Hobbs then turns the gun on herself. Pictures of the murder scene are flashed by the Judge as blackmail.

Ironically, I think the movie I Love You To Death has no death in it.
