10 Greatest War Movie Death Scenes (Clips NSFW)
In honor of Memorial Day, Pacman Jonesin’ presents the 10 Greatest War Movie Death Scenes (that I could find video of on YouTube).
10. Red Dawn. C. Thomas Howell v. bad-ass Russian helicopter. What this movie taught me about a possible Soviet invasion: it will happen in Colorado, and the only resistance will be led by Ponyboy and Darrel from The Outsiders.
9. All Quiet on the Western Front. Lew Ayres owned by sniper during moment of poignant tenderness. Poetic juxtapositions are a bitch.
8. Letters From Iwo Jima. Japanese soldiers take the honorable way out – via grenade. At least it’s quick. Tad messy though.
7. The Bridge on the River Kwai. Alec Guinness gets it; Darth Vader not involved. Oh the futility of war…or something.
6. Full Metal Jacket. Private Pyle just can’t take it anymore. This is what you get for trying to turn a fat retard into a killing machine.
5. Saving Private Ryan. Omaha Beach. No one does historically-accurate carnage like Steven Spielberg.
4. Dr. Strangelove; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Major Kong rides the bomb. This is how Dick Cheney wants to go.
3. Platoon. Elias buys it. If only he’d had a jet-pack…
2. The Deer Hunter. Christopher Walken does himself. This is why pro Russian Roulette never took off as a sport.
1. Apocalypse Now. Willard slaughters Kurtz. It was the only way to make him shut up.
