As in, final lines said by an actor in a film before (or sometimes shortly after) their death or retirement.

Lines I included:

"Smile, my boy. It's sunrise." -Robin Williams (1951-2014), Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb

"One man's sunset is another man's dawn. I don't know what's out there beyond those hills, but if you ride out yonder; head up, eyes steady, heart open, you'll find you're the hero you've been looking for." -Jimmy Stewart (1908-1997), Fievel goes West

What are some you can think of?

I think a Director's Ranking of Mel Brooks's movies would be cool to see in the future.

My own favorites:

1. Blazing Saddles

2. Spaceballs

3. Young Frankenstein

4. The Producers

5. Robin Hood: Men in Tights

My personal ranking:

​

1. ET: The Extra-Terrestrial 10/10

​

2. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 9/10

​

3. War of the Worlds 8/10

​

4. Disclosure Day 8/10

Examples used:

The Lord of the Rings drops their title in each, but my personal favorite is Elrond proclaiming the nine companions as "The Fellowship of the Ring."

Ramses pardoning Moses of his previous crime and proclaiming that he is "The Prince of Egypt."

Might be controversial, but I like Luke Skywalker telling Kylo that he will not be "The Last Jedi" as he allows the Resistance to escape.

The Indiana Jones villains are pretty interesting in how they interact with Indy and their motivations for looking for the artifacts ranging from communicating with God, Immortality, or Pursuit of Knowledge and their deaths are often very iconic and memorable. I think it would be interesting to analyze these characters, why they look for the maguffins of the films, and maybe if their deaths are a reflection of their character or pursuit or something.

Characters pictured:

Judge Claude Frollo- Led a widespread manhunt on the Romani people in the city of Paris, locking up, torturing, and executing many in the name of God, starting a hunt for Esmeralda in particular to force her to be his sex slave and burning Paris in the process.

Lord Cutler Beckett- Head of the East India Trading Company, hunted down and executed pirates along the seas, as well as mass executing civilians that might be tied to pirates, as well as other acts like participating in the Slave Trade, which even Captain Jack Sparrow didn't approve of because "people aren't cargo, mate."

X Men: First Class
