Best Suicide Scene (spoiler infested!! run away!!)

[polkablues]

Heath Ledger in "Monster's Ball".  Wow.

You know, that had been bothering me about the bathtub scene in Rules of Attraction. The first time I saw the movie, which was at a preview screening before it came out, I remember the cut she made in her arm as lasting longer too. Then when I caught the movie in its theatrical release, it did seem shorter, and it still seems shorter on the DVD. I guess this is part of the difference between the unrated and the R-rated version. Was the porn magazine "Cumshot Review" still blurred out in the Australian version?

Ummm I'm not sure - I don't think it was as Australia had the unrated one. We always get the full version. Your 'eyes wide shut' is censored too!
But our 'The Shining' is 30 mins shorter

Another longer thing in RoA in Australia is when that guy spews up at the start... he spews everywhere... like all over her mouth and shit... thats disgusting too

SPOILER

The end of "The Dreamlife of Angels" has a pretty good suicide scene... which was utterly stolen by "The Hours"... (if that's not true, someone please englighten me on the history of sitting-on-window-ledge suicide surprises)...

[snaporaz]

Dammit... I really need to pay better attention to Spoiler warnings.  Good call on "Dreamlife of Angels" though.  That one is similar to the one in "Monster's Ball" in the way that it just happens, with no real warning.  

Seriously, I'll go see "The Hours" as soon as possible.  Though I'm kind of boycotting it, "Chicago", and "Frida" as a protest to the fact that Diane Lane isn't favored in any of the Oscar predictions I've seen.

Then I'd avoid The Hours, cause it also contains the two other injustices.

I nominate Cronenberg's The Fly... Gut-wrenching in every sense. I can't watch it ever again.

From Slam Dance, the suicide scenes involving the junkie and C.C. Drood.

[jonas]

Little Bill - Boogie Nights

Brooks - Shawshank Redemption

[Ghostboy]

In all fairness to The Hours, the suicide scene was shot exactly as it was described in the novel.

[Mazoku]

sorry I'm brigning in my opinion late (I'm fresh new) but I want to say that the 54 school girls jumping in front of a train in Suicide Club is a spectacular suicide scene..

[rustinglass]

I may sound like a sick bastard but my favourites are wrist-slitting (Europa and fucking Amal); and hangings (shawshank, Underground, Arizona Dream... most of kusturica's films have them

[Sigur Rós]

Monsters Ball
Boogie Nights
The Hours

SPOILER*********

I guess you're talking about the bit at the end where Brundle (in full Fly form) falls from the telepod and slowly crawls over to Geena Davis, urging her to blow his brains out. Ah fuck! Just thinking of that big, gross, moaning insect thing with big googly eyes gives me the serious shakes! I would blow its fuckin' head off just to get that face away from me! Cronenberg's 'Fly' is brilliant by the way......

Um, Hello?

LEAVING LAS VEGAS

The whole movie is one big suicide scene.

BTW, that's the way I'd want to go.

[Mazoku]

yeah! Leaving Las Vegas does have one big and long and painfull suicide process! We tend to forget that... maybe because it's not spectacular... I say Maybe.. Or maybe because it doen't happen quickly..
