I'm sure this has been done, but what is the most shocking or surprising death of a character in a movie?

"Goose" comes to mind for some reason, but surely that's not anywhere near the top. I'm drawing a blank for some reason.

Goose is a good one.

I'm not sure I'd calling it 'shocking', but I was certainly surprised by the death of Steven Segal's character in Executive Decision.

Not to derail it from movies, but when Omar got killed in The Wire that shocked me and the writers had every intention of it being shocking.

That one Ewok in the Ewok movie...heartbreaking. Also, Optimus Prime. Oh, and Artex. He let the sadness get to him...RIP.

I don't think they put this kind of **** in "family" movies anymore.

Turn to my friends in the theater and was all, "but isn't he the main character?"

Notable others:

-red dress girl
-shoe in who framed roger rabbit
-bambi's mom
-first 20 minutes of Saving private ryan (radio guy, 'you lucky son of a bich' guy, etc.)
-old yeller
-Glory (didn't know the history prior to seeing this wasn't expecting them to all die).

I believe he had top billing too. Dead in the first 5-10 minutes.
