  • I think Del's death from The Green Mile should have made the list too. The antagonistic guard botched it on purpose and the scene was pure nightmare fuel.
  • Sad moments. The green mile scene was the saddest to me.
  • @Pbkid1313
    The Green Mile will go on record as the only movie that’s ever made me cry
  • The Green Mile is my favorite movie, and that death scene with John Coffy is really one to make me tear up, he is really a gentle giant.
  • @rsjones9303
    I get that they don't wana double dip but Del's death from the Green Mile is one you'll never forget.
  • The ending to the Green Mile is just overwhelmingly sad, everyone cried watching it
  • @JGE_DK
    The John Coffey scene gets me EVERY time!! 😢 Seriously... I'm a 51 year old dude, and I bawled my eyes out for John Coffey, when I saw The Green Mile for the first time in 1999 - and I'm STILL bawling my eyes out for John Coffey. 😭 Yep, even the short clip in this video got to me. 😢 But don't worry. I AM okay. 🥲 I'm just emotional, that's all. ☺
  • The Green Mile...How big of a Sociopath do you have to be to let someone suffer that way?
  • @munibullahkhan
    Execution scene from Anna and the King is one of the best, deserves top 5
  • The entirety of Paths of Glory is forever entombed in my mind. The cruelty, realism, the sorrow is hard to match by other war films. Can't beat Kubrick.
  • The green mile really annoys me every time, because the Gentle giant was innocent the whole time
  • A very deserving scene that was missed is from the 1980 Australian film 'Breaker Morant', set during the Boer War and based on a true story. The two men reach to hold hands as they walk to the execution spot is poignant enough, however, Morant's last words of "Shoot straight ya bastards" will tear at your heart as they are executed.
  • @kyle381000
    James Cagney in "Angels with Dirty Faces" is chilling. Tough guy trying to show the horror of what happens to guys like him.
  • For me, The execution of Sarah Fier in Fear Street 1666 was the saddest to watch. Because the people in her village accused her of witchcraft while she was innocent all along. And what it makes it more sadder was that her friends were the only ones who knew she was innocent. 😢
  • @culcune
    The film "Let Him Have It" (1991) didn't have a particularly memorable execution scene, but the circumstances (and the movie in general) leading up to the execution is very poignant. Based on a true story, it puts the idea of executing the 'wrong' person (wrong for the most part) at the forefront.
  • The mother's death in Jojo Rabbit. You don't need to see her execution to feel the impact and sadness
  • I was surprised to see "The Execution of Private Slovik" omitted -- Martin Sheen and Ned Beatty are amazing together.
  • @CordsZ
    The execution scene in A Hidden Life by Terrence Malik is the best of the lot. There’s no blood, no gore, you don’t actually see or hear anything, but the tension builds so much by the end that you’re a wreck.
  • Dancer in The Dark remains one of the saddest deaths I've watched on television. So sad. I couldn't stop crying.
