Ha!!!!!!!!!! Jackie.. I kept waiting and WAITING for poor Tybalt to get up too! (I was half expecting them to all leave.. and then he would sit up and say, "Hey.. where did everybody go?" Too funny. After seeing that I feel certain we need to consider Tinker's recommendation (from The Princess Bride" and come up with a whole NEW category #18 for those who are only "Mostly Dead" ha. ("Twooo Wuv" strikes again!)
And also.. along with #18,here are some of the other new categories you folks have mentioned:
#19 Murder Most Foul this would be for all movies that are about "murder" as the main plot in the story. This could be your "missing" category Miss Maven for the one you weren't sure how to define ha. We can just add a "Marriage Clause" in there as a subheading. ha. (and yes.. Masha.. great idea.. we'll add a second subheading for murdered by mistaken identity)
#20 The Talking Dead (for all those dead narrators.. Sunset Boulevard (great catch, Lucky!) American Beauty, etc)
And then I also thought of another #21 The DEATH STAR Ha.. Not sure if someone had mentioned this already but this category would be for movies where "DEATH" itself is one of the main characters in the story.. like Death Takes a Holiday, Meet Joe Black, or On Borrowed Time (to name a few)
Miss Maven.. I loved your "side notes" on all your examples.. ha. To quote from Dan Fogelberg.. "Lessons learned are like bridges burned. You only need to cross them but once." ha. Good thing we have the MOVIES to teach us all this stuff in case it ever comes up in real life! And THANKS for bringing up Mary Meredith TOO. (OH my golly what a creepy ghost SHE was.. aggh.. definitely in the "Gone but not forgotten" category for SURE. She still gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about her.
Meanwhile.. THANKS ChiO for making ME cry too.. HA! Oh brudduah.. just thinking about poor Bambi's Mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (agh!) We should add special Animal Category for her (and John Wayne's dog in just about every movie where John Wayne had a dog.. and probably Old Yeller.. and whatever OTHER movie where a beloved animal or pet dies) ha. Let's see... Category #22 "Some Animals WERE harmed in the making of THIS movie"
Oh.. and also #23 Monsters, Aliens, and/or other-worldly life forms. (for King Kong.. Godzilla.. and ET even (though he DOES get to come back at the end of the movie.. so he can go home.. but STILL he did die there for a moment, didn't he??)
Aggghhh. Between Bambi's mom, King Kong, AND ET.. oh me... just thinking of them all together.. Break out the tissues NOW. ha.
OK.. so just to keep our list running so folks don't have to scroll back so far.. here is where we are at now:
1) Too Good for this World (with the subheading for young innocents)
2) Too Rotten to live /Just Desserts
3)Ultimate Sacrifice
4) Tragic Hero/Heroine
5) Repentant Bad Guy
6) Doomed by Fate or Circumstance
7) Ripe Old Age,
8 ) Crazed Loonies
9) Death as Comedic Relief,
10) Too STUPID to live,
#11 Wrong Place/Wrong Time
12) War Casualties,
13) Wrongful Prosecution/Mob Violence,
14) Gone but not Forgotten (for all the ghosts, zombies, vampires, etc)
15) The Unseen Dead (for those who die off screen, or before the story begins,
16) Natural Disaster/Acts of God
#17 Divine Retribution.
#18 Mostly Dead (for characters you THINK have died, but somehow manage to pull through)
#19Murder Most Foul (with two subheadings.. The Marriage Clause, and Murder by Mistaken Identity)
#20 The Talking Dead (aka dead narrators)
#21 The Death Star (movies with "Death" is a character)
#22 Some Animals WERE harmed in the making of THIS movie
#23 Monsters, Aliens, and/or other-worldly creatures
Busy, busy, busy.. so many ways to go.. ha. Who knew??
