July 4, 200521 yr or dies at the end. And explain how it is. The more complex the better :) Just looking for some good movies (like 15-20) which I can use to isolate key plot differences between movies where the protaganist fails and those where they win. Results will be going into a self-critic-movies doco for some friends and anyone else who wants it. I'm sick of doing it for them :x
July 4, 200521 yr I'm gonna say 'The Village' where the main character up to like half way into the movie basically dies, but then theres another protaganist so yeah I dunno
July 4, 200521 yr Well Monty Python and the Holy Grail I'm gonna say you've probably seen that ;) SPOILER: At the end the silly frenchmen are in the grail castle and send the kuhniggits on their way I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
July 4, 200521 yr i dont know many where the protagonist fails, but i do know many where they die. saving private ryan has the main protagonist die (not private ryan, but the guy that the movie follows through most of it). donnie darko, donnie darko dies monty pythons life of brian, brian dies resevoir dogs, all main charachters die gladiator, i think the main charachter dies, i cant remember anymore so dont quote me on that and the only one (that i can think of) where the main charachters fail... dr strangelove (or how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb), everyone dies, and by everyone i mean everyone. im sure there are more that i cant remember right now, ill edit them in later. and if you want the descriptions (of the ones you havent seen) tell me which ones.
July 4, 200521 yr And uh can everyone put how it is in size 1 or 2 font, I haven't seen some of these movies :( I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
July 4, 200521 yr And explain how it is. Rocky Reading > You You've never seen Rocky? I know the price. I pay it gladly.
July 4, 200521 yr I was just thinkin about something like this this morning, I hate how in movies you know who dies and who survives before you watch it. I've never seen Psycho but wasn't the girl who died in the infamous shower scene one of the main characters? That might not count though... This doesn't really count but when Samuel L. Jackson, easily the most famous person in the movie "Deep Blue Sea" dies, that was unexpected.
July 4, 200521 yr You've never seen Rocky? Rocky doesn't die? :? Anyway Jacob's Ladder (I forgot if he died or not, I should see it again) Les Invasions Barbares Big Fish Brutti Sporchi E Cativi <-- Main character almost dies, well, you should see it anyway. :P Titanic - don't the main characters die there? I've never seen it. :? Spartacus Lilja-4-Ever - but you can't get that one. :P Dogville Dances with Wolves - I can't remember, but I'm sure people are going to die there, it's been a while. :P Old Boy Collateral I see too much movies, so I forget a lot. >.< Just see the films, I'm not going to explain how everybody dies, what kind of crap is that, Rick.

July 4, 200521 yr You've never seen Rocky? Rocky doesn't die? :? He fails to beat Creed after all his hard work though :P Something I figured the original poster knew since everyone and their dog has seen Rocky by now. I know the price. I pay it gladly.
July 4, 200521 yr Rocky doesn't die? :? He fails to beat Creed after all his hard work though :P Something I figured the original poster knew since everyone and their dog has seen Rocky by now. Better name Rocky III then, where his trainer dies from a heart attackt, or Rocky IV, where Appolo dies in a boxing match. :wink: Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

I haven't seen rocky... pretty sure my dog hasn't either I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
July 4, 200521 yr I haven't seen rocky... pretty sure my dog hasn't either What the hell? Get a life? You've been living under a rock for past 29 years? What the hell is the use of living when you havn't seen Rocky? :P Oh, for the record, I'm just kidding, I don't want to stay up all night to appologize myself to Runesmithie because he/she might be offended. So I'll do it now! Don't be offended! Oh, and just to make Rizla mad, I'll put this in extra small letters.xD Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
July 4, 200521 yr I think the biggest one for me would be Seven. There's no way i could describe the failing without including the entire plot of the movie, and spoiling it completely for anyone who hasn't seen it, so i won't try. Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.

July 5, 200521 yr macbeth - roman polanski (spell check plz?) the butterfly effect (doesnt he end up staying as a paraplegic cuz he cant find a way to put right the things hes changed without hurting the people he loves?) .... this is surprisingly hard.
July 5, 200521 yr Someone said Gladiator already but they weren't sure, but they are correct (indy500fan). The main guys dies in the end, but he fails even though he manages to kill his enemy. His goal was to get his freedom back, which he doesn't. I love that movie btw. Visit my DeviantArt Page at http://vladmoney.deviantart.com
July 5, 200521 yr Um how bout Star Wars? I mean the last movie ended with the bad guys winning. Not to mention alot of Jedis being killed. The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.
July 5, 200521 yr Final Destination 1 and 2. Everyone dies. Also Kingpin, a rather stupid movie, but the main character loses the bowling match to his arch rival. Gamertag: King Arizona
July 5, 200521 yr geeez, Troy is a big one. Hector, Achilles, Ajax, Priam, Agamemnon, Menelaus, Patroclus. there all main characters, but mostly it would be eric bana as hector and brad pitt as achilles.
July 5, 200521 yr Um how bout Star Wars? I mean the last movie ended with the bad guys winning. Not to mention alot of Jedis being killed. You realize that the last Star Wars movie that just was/still is in theaters is number 3 in the series and that there are 6 of them, right ? The last one, storyline-wise is "The Return of the Jedi". Ok, I know they came out in a weird order, but if you like Star Wars, surely you know that. Release dates (date-ordered, not storyline-ordered): Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
