10 Jack Dawson (Leonardo di Caprio), Titanic (1997)

The Line: Never let go.

After the ship sinks (uh – you did know that, didn’t you), Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) scrambles onto a door which can only support one person and Jack remains in the freezing ocean. He assures her that she is going to survive, and die an old lady in her bed, before he succumbs to hypothermia.

9 William Wallace (Mel Gibson), Braveheart (1995)

The Line: Freeeedom!!!

After the deaths of his father and brother, and later his wife, at the hands of the English, William Wallace becomes involved in the Scottish uprising against King Edward I of England. After some military successes, he is betrayed to the English, taken to London, tried and convicted of high treason. As he is undergoing public execution by torture, the magistrate offers him a quick death in exchange for a plea for mercy.

8 Thelma and Louise (1991)

The Lines: Thelma: Go!
Louise: You sure?
Thelma: Yeah … yeah.


Two girl-friends’ weekend out turns into a nightmare after one of them shoots and kills a man attempting to rape the other. On the run from the police, led by the gruffly sympathetic Detective Hal Slocumb (Harvey Keitel), the pair are cornered near a large cliff. The final scene is well-known to most movie fans. The lines may be less familiar.

7 Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman), Die Hard (1988)



The Line: What was it you said to me before? “Yippie-ki-yay, motherf#cker!”

Not quite as classic as Detective John McClane’s (Bruce Willis) line in the first place. McClane is a New York cop who has been caught up in an “exceptional” robbery disguised as a terrorist attack in Los Angeles. He has survived everything that the suave criminal mastermind and his gang have thrown at him. He confronts Gruber and a henchman with just two bullets left in his gun. They hesitate just long enough to give him a chance.

6 Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), Blade Runner (1982)

The Line: I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain… Time to die.

Batty is the leader of a group of replicants (bioengineered or biorobotic beings who serve as soldiers and slaves in off-world colonies) illegally on Earth. Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a jaded ex-police officer who once specialized in “retiring” replicants, is coerced into tracking and killing them. After dispatching three of them, he confronts Batty in a cat-and-mouse chase. Batty saves Deckard’s life just before his pre-programmed four-year lifespan runs out.




5 Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), Apocalypse Now (1979)

The Line: The horror… the horror…

Colonel Walter E Kurtz, a member of the US Army Special Forces in Vietman, has gone insane and is commanding a native army deep in the Cambodian jungle. Captain Benjamin L Willard (Martin Sheen), a deeply troubled special operations veteran, is dispatched to find Kurtz and to “terminate [him] with extreme prejudice”. After a hazardous journey, Willard and his last remaining crew member arrive at Kurtz’ camp. Willard attacks Kurtz with a machete, and he dies whispering words taken from Joseph Conrad’s novella, Heart of Darkness, on which the movie is based.

4 Rabbi (John Cleese), Life of Brian (1979)

The Line: STOP IT STOP IT! Now look! No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle, understand? Even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say “Jehovah”.

Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman) and his mother Mandy (Terry Jones) are attending the stoning of a man condemned for blasphemy. In attempting to explain himself, he utters (not) the divine name again, and the crowd begins throwing stones. The rabbi attempts to restore order and is himself set upon by the crowd.

3 Obi-Wan Kenobi (Sir Alec Guinness), Star Wars [IV: A New Hope] (1977)
The Line: You can’t win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) joins forces with Obi-wan Kenobi to rescue a beautiful princess, who turns out to be his long-lost sister, and battle an evil warlord, who turns out to be their long-lost father and Obi-wan’s long-lost protegee.

2 HAL 9000 (Douglas Rain), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

The Lines: I’m afraid. I’m afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I’m a…fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the HAL plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January, 1992. My instructor was Mr Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you’d like to hear it I can sing it for you.
[Dave: Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.]
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I’m half crazy all for the love of you. It won’t be a stylish marriage, I can’t afford a carriage. But you’ll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.


HAL is the controlling brain of the Discovery One spaceship, bound for Jupiter on a top-secret mission. Due to a conflict in his programming, HAL becomes erratic and kills four of the ship’s crew. The remaining crew member, David Bowman (Keir Dullea), disconnects HAL’s circuitry.

1 Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles), Citizen Kane (1941)
The Line: Rosebud…

This is the first line of the movie, and the film proceeds in two directions, one tracing Kane’s life and the other showing a reporter’s search for the meaning of the enigmatic utterance. The intriguing thing is that Kane is alone when he dies, so no-one hears his dying word.

feel free to add anymore that you know of...

Boromir's death scene - Fellowship Of The Ring

Aragorn: I do not know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you I will not let the White City fall, nor our people fail.

Boromir: Our people, our people. I would have would have followed you, my brother... my captain... my king.

Aragorn: Be at peace, Son of Gondor.

Death of Darth Vader/Anakin - Return Of The Jedi



Darth Vader: Luke... help me take this mask off.

Luke: But you'll die.

Darth Vader: Nothing... can stop that now. Just for once... let me... look on you with my *own* eyes.

[Luke takes off Darth Vader's mask one piece at a time. Underneath, Luke sees the face of a pale, scarred, bald-headed, old man - his father, Anakin. Anakin sadly looks at Luke]

Anakin: Now... go, my son. Leave me.

Luke: No. You're coming with me. I'll not leave you here, I've got to save you.

Anakin: You already... have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister... you were right.

[Anakin slumps down in death]

Luke: Father... I won't leave you.

The Tenth Doctor Regeneration Scene (Ten becomes Eleven)

The Line:

Ten: (falls to his knees in pain in the snow, looks up, sees an Ood (Omega?))
Ood: (holding his translator device) We will sing to you, Doctor. We will sing you to your final sleep.
(He replaces his translator to his lapel and the Ood Song plays.)
(Ten re-enters the TARDIS after encountering the Ood outside, and begins setting the Tardis to fly.
Ood: This song is ending. But the story never ends.
(Inside the TARDIS, Ten begins glowing with the golden light--the symptom of a Time Lord's regeneration. He looks around the TARDIS for a moment before he looks up, the Ood's song silencing for a moment.)
Ten: (tears in his eyes) I don't want to go...
(Customary screaming, golden fire, and suddenly... The Doctor is no longer David Tennant (Ten), but Matt Smith (Eleven).)
Eleven: Hah! Legs! Ohhh, I've got legs! (kisses one)

(That's as best as I can recall, I can't rewatch that scene without crying XD)

[Joe pulls out his gun and aims it at Mr. Orange]
[In response, Mr. White pulls out his gun and aims it Joe]
[Eddie pulls out his gun and aims it at Mr. White]

Nice Guy Eddie: Have you lost your asteriskin' mind?
Mr. White: Joe, you're making a terrible mistake. I'm not gonna let you make it.
Mr. Pink: Come on, guys! Nobody wants this! We're supposed to be asterisking professionals!
Nice Guy Eddie: Larry, look. It's been quite a long time. A lot of jobs. There's no need for this, man. Lets just put our guns down, and lets settle this with a asteriskin' conversation.
Mr. White: Joe, if you kill that man, you die next. I repeat: If you kill that man, you die next.
Nice Guy Eddie: Larry, we have been friends, and you respect my dad, and I respect you, but I will put asterisking bullets right through your heart. You put that asteriskin' gun down, now.
Mr. White: Goddamn you, Joe. Don't make me do this.
Nice Guy Eddie: [angrily] LARRY, STOP POINTING THAT asteriskin' GUN AT MY DAD!

[Joe shoots Mr. Orange, Mr. White shoots and kills Joe, Eddie shoots Mr. White and Mr. White quickly shoots and kills Eddie]

The (brief) Death of Matt Smith as the Doctor:


The Doctor: [last words to sleeping Amelia Pond] It's funny, I thought, if you could hear me, I could hang on, somehow. Silly me. Silly old Doctor. When you wake up, you'll have a mum and dad, and you won't even remember me. Well, you'll remember me a little. I'll be a story in your head. But that's OK: we're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know, it was the best: a daft old man, who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you I stole it? Well, I borrowed it; I was always going to take it back... Oh, that box, Amy... you'll dream about that box. It'll never leave you. Big and little, at the same time, brand-new and ancient, and the bluest blue, ever. And the times we had, eh? Would've had. Never had. In your dreams, they'll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond... and the days that never came....
[Notices that the crack is closing]
The Doctor: The cracks are closing. But they can't close properly 'til I'm on the other side. I don't belong here anymore. (turning back from the crack) I think I'll skip the rest of the rewind. I hate repeats... (leans down) Live well. Love Rory.
[Kisses Amelia on the forehead]
The Doctor: Bye-bye, Pond.



(I think this was the one moment that I was bawling so hard I couldn't see... I kept -insisting- that he wouldn't die, that he'd come back... XD)
