Daily Countdown: TV & Movie Deaths

Posted on September 30, 2026 by Doc

Our next Daily Countdown, the fifth one, following Top 100 TV Shows, TV Themes, Weird Al Songs and Animated Movies, is going to be the Top 100 TV & Movie Deaths.

Obviously, this one will have a lot of SPOILERS involved as a lot of these deaths are iconic, but some are personal favorites.

As always, this is my personal favorites. I do not mean to insult anyone out there who loves a certain death that I left off the list. I am sure that there will be some that I miss because there have been countless deaths in TV & Movies.

Some iconic deaths will not make my list because I did not/have not watched the TV or film. I did not watch the Sopranos, so Tony Soprano is not here. I did not watch Game of Thrones so the big deaths from there are not on my list. Sorry.

For the first time, I have some honorable mentions for the list.

Honorable mentions: Apollo Creed (Rocky IV), Yoda (The Return of the Jedi), Bonnie & Clyde (Bonnie & Clyde), Bambi’s Mom (Bambi), Leslie Burke (Bridge to Terabithia), Tadeshi (Big Hero 6), Angel Batista (Dexter Resurrection), Natalie (Yellowjackets), Wash (Serenity), Han Solo (Star Wars: the Force Awakens), Competitors (Squid Game), Carl ( The Walking Dead), A-Train (The Boys),The Potato Man (Picket Fences), Agatha Harkness (Agatha All Along), Dualla (Battlestar Galactica), William Wallace (Braveheart), Maximus (Gladiator), Vanessa Fisk (Daredevil: Born Again), Queen Ramonda (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Mr. Mushnik (Little Shop of Horrors) and Severus Snape (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2).

We will start on October 7.
