When Slim Pickens as a sheriff died in the movie "Pat Garret and Billy The Kid". Bob Dylan singing in the background "Knocking On Heaven's Door" as the sun was setting. Epic.
A close second was John Wayne as gunfighter J.B. Books dying on the saloon floor in "The Shootist" as Ron Howard looked on. This was Wayne's last film and he was, in fact, dying of cancer as was his character.
Both scenes very profound.
"...why, land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for,... because it is the only thing that lasts."
