Critics Alex Kirschenbaum and Charles Perry give you their Top 5 Cinematic Surprise Deaths. We don’t spoil any movie endings, BUT we do spoil some deaths. Only one movie from the last 5 years makes one of our lists (“The Place Beyond The Pines”), so you guys should really have seen the other movies by now.

Movies Cited (one of these is a bonus surprise death):
– “Alien” (1979)
– “An American Werewolf In London” (1981)
– “The Departed” (2006)
– “Everest” (2015 — but, I mean, come on, it’s obvious from the trailer)
– “Executive Decision” (1996)
– “Goodfellas” (1990)
– “The Hurt Locker” (2009)
– “The Place Beyond The Pines” (2013)

Key quote: “Whenever somebody gets the dreaded ‘And…’ credit, and they’re in [the movie] early, it’s very likely that they’re not gonna make it.”
