I have been quite moved by the checking out of a character in neighbours recently. Very sensitively handled I felt. I felt the same with that bit in terminator 2 when arnie gets lowered into the molten steel. Have you ever thought a screen death especially moving?

Clive - zoes mum Fay. She had been deteriorating with Huntington's before getting pneumonia. It's not a way to go.
The bit in top gun also with goose just prone in the water and the air medic guy shouting 'weve got to leave him sir'. Powerful stuff. No wonder maverick didnt win the top gun trophy.

Small screen it has to be arya cutting litttlefinger. Or maybe ragnar lothbrok in vikings.
Big screen I would say is a tougher call. Maybe Sean bean in LOTR?

For Linda
I want you to tell her that I cannot explain... ...why I broke with her as I did. But that since then, my life has been worth nothing. I pushed the blade in deeper than you just have my boy... ...and now I need you to help me withdraw it. Tell her it is lucky for her that I have gone... ...and I am glad not to have to live without her. Tell her, her love was the only real happiness that I have ever known. Will you do that for me?
i need to watch it now

What the OP said. Fay's death in Neighbours was really sensitively done. It's why it's the best soap.

Cliffs on both side. l'm not gonna paddle to New Zealand! My whole life has been about this moment, Johnny. Come on, compadre. Come on. COME ON!

Because "lower class f*ckboy I met on a cruise ship two days ago" is not a particularly touching love story. Hence the lack of impact.

Indeed. She was spared the rather awkward PFOing and returning to the cold embrace of Billy Zane once she arrived in NYC and saw where Jack planned to sleep for the night.

Glad to see the love for The Wire. Although I have to say watching Dukie shoot up in the finale montage is more heartbreaking than any death.
My vote for Up.

The lack of people mentioning Titanic is probably because of lack of caring about the characters and their totally being enough room on the plank for both of them but Winslet's character being slefish and keeping it to herself.

I'm fine with most screen deaths that happen in 'ordinary' circumstances e.g. someone dying from a disease or old age (although Bill Nighy in About Time is an exception). But I get really teary at any sort of heroic death. Of the ones mentioned above, I cried at:
Boromir
Dobby
Blackadder Goes Forth
Yondu
Bing Bong
Buffy in Season 5
And I've also cried at:
Bruce Willis in Armageddon
Anthony Hopkins in The Mask of Zorro
Gabriel Byrne's D'Artagnan in The Man In The Iron Mask
Iron Man in Endgame
Draco in DragonHeart
Ray the firefly in The Princess and the Frog
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Surprised no one has mentioned Maximus in Gladiator. For me it's not so much his actual keeling over (given that he's successfully avenged his murdered wife and son), but the moments after when he's carried out with that great music starting.
