The 35 Saddest Deaths In "Titanic"
Feel-good buzz!
35. The random rats

A little sad if you're really into rodents, but honestly, how the fuck did they get on the ship to begin with?!
34. Officer Murdoch

He killed two people! We can't feel too bad for you, buddy! Buh-bye, bish!
33. Floating dead lady

Not even sure how she died, so can't feel that bad. I mean we know how she died, like in the Titanic, but like she's just a floating thing of CGI and fabric.
32. This random dude who stampedes Rose in the hallway like WTF

He's an aggressive older man who could have hurt Rose. Not a good look! I don't feel bad at all!
31. This lady in the hallway that doesn't want to leave her luggage

LEAVE YOUR BAG, LADY. THE GODDAMN BOAT IS SINKING.
30. This shitty father who thought Jack was kidnapping his son when the boat was literally going down and then he and his son get bulldozed by a wall of water because he's a dumbass!

Your toxic masculinity is no match for a sinking ship, you shithead!
29. These screaming ladies

I think of this moment more as scary, like in a haunted house sort of way, than sad.
28. This guy who gets shot by Officer Murdoch

Honestly, just a shitty way to die. The Titanic is sinking and you get shot by a gun. Bad luck!
27. The guy who falls off the ship and hits the propeller

This is more of a "FUCK" moment. No tears shed here. But also like, if you're going to die on the Titanic...hitting the propeller is kind of cool?
26. These two dudes who die in the storage facility while searching for Rose and Jack

HONESTLY, this is all Rose's and Jack's fault. If they never banged in the car, then these guys might be alive! But also, like, sucks for you!
25. Screaming statue-clinger dude

I feel like he was screaming really loud. That hurts my ears like a motorcycle. I hate motorcycles.
24. Screaming dining room people

I feel more of a "yikes" emotion for these people. Like can you imagine hitting your head on the ceiling? I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it!
23. Frozen dead lady

More scary than sad TBH.
22. Frozen dead lady and baby

Still more scary than sad because that baby is fake as hell.
21. This random guy that gets electrocuted

More of an "ow" thing. Not too sad. He was fucked no matter what.
20. The guy who says, "We are dressed in our best and are prepared to go down as gentlemen. But, we would like a brandy"

My type of guy! Though when the water starts gushing in and he gets this look of fear on his face I feel bad. Rich people, though! I can only feel so bad for him.
19. This random woman in a shawl with a baby who asks the captain for help when the ship is CLEARLY going down

She tries to talk to the captain but the captain won't help her. What a shit situation.
18. All the people the boat falls on

Now that's just gotta suck.
17. All the people who slid and died when the boat tilted upward

Honestly, if you're gonna die it might as well be on a big-ass slide.
16. Floating dead whistle guy

Sad because all I think about is that scene in A Christmas Story where the kid licks the pole and his tongue gets stuck to that. It's like that...but with the whistle in the middle of the ocean and dead. Ouch.
15. This priest

Literally has the fear of God in his eyes.
14. This lady and her small child

Yeah, this is sad. She gon' die.
13. This woman who makes eye contact with Rose and cries a single tear

What can I say? I'm a sucker for quiet moments before imminent death.
12. Captain John Smith

Call me crazy, but his death makes me pretty sad even though it's all his GD fault. My heart genuinely hurts watching him see the chaos erupt around him. Though, to be honest, it's pretty dope when the windows break and the water comes crushing in. Nice way to die!
11. Trudy, Rose's maid

It's not fair that shitty-ass Billy Zane got to live and poor, sweet Trudy didn't.
10. The guys in the engine room who don't make it out before the doors close

Tragic. Honestly tragic. They're one of the first to go in the movie and it just really fucking sucks because once those doors went down, so did their lives! This is sad.
9. Tommy Ryan (Fabrizio + Jack's friend)

This one made me sad because it made Fabrizio sad and I have a crush on him.
8. Thomas Andrews

He just had a sweet soul, ya know? He's just looking into that clock preparing for his doom. Sad!
7. Anyone stuck behind a gate

Gate people WILL ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.
6. Fabrizio

He gets crushed by a smokestack! Love him. He's also hot. Hot people shouldn't die. What a sweet, sweet (hot) man.
5. Old Rose

A controversial inclusion to this list because there's a big debate over whether or not she actually dies. I think she dies...warm in that bed. This is terribly sad, but not like sad-sad. It's more happy-sad because she's finally content. Happy tears!
4. Leo aka Jack Dawson

Not gonna lie, when I was rewatching this for this post...I cried. When he tells Rose that she'll grow to be an old lady warm in her bed. Tears. Fucking sad! BUT, THAT SAID, I don't think his death is the be-all-end-all in terms of sadness.
3. The Irish children and their ginger mom

When she tucks them in, I just lose it. Poor lil' gingies!
2. The orchestra

I'M WEEPING JUST LOOKING AT THIS PICTURE. The sweetest men on that damn boat!!!! THE SWEETEST.
1. The cuddling old couple

This. THIS. THIIIIIS is the saddest moment in the whole movie. James Cameron was cruel to put this scene in, everyone knows old people in love is a major trigger. Add in the fact that they are 'bout to die and I'm fucked! CRYIIIING.
