Films Where Sean Bean Dies
It is not every film. It is not even most of them. But it is enough of them, and often enough at the worst possible moment, that the survivals are the surprising half.
Spoilers, obviously — the list is nothing but endings. Chosen by a person, and only where the death is beyond argument; if one is missing it is because nobody here was sure enough.
