It's a pretty overused formula now, but always good for a great movie death:
Child is in imminent danger, hero saves child, but hero is suddenly killed in the process, child screams.
In this scene from Jaws 2, after the giant shark brings down a helicopter, everybody panics and little Sean falls into the water. Our hero Marge(Martha Swatek) quickly goes into the water and heaves him onto a floating hull, but the shark devours her before she can pull herself up.
Marge has joined the many characters throughout cinematic history know as the "Sacrificial Hero"

Hello:
Great site/blog!
Yeah, this film was a classic: I used to enjoy it when I was a teenager...
This famous scene: Marge saving (and passing away!) Sean, and Jackie Peters "out of her mind": strong!
Another death scene that touches me: Jennifer Jones 'Lisolette Muller' in THE TOWERING INFERNO (and saving another child too)...
Well, life is not (so) easy!
Thanks for this blog again,
