History BigNo / Film

*** Frodo also has one that doubles as a SlowNo when Gandalf appears to die.

* ''Film/AmericanHistoryX'' has Danny Vineyard letting this out as he sees [[spoiler:his big brother Derek]] about to [[spoiler:perform the infamous curb-stomp murder that gets him sent to prison]], and even [[spoiler:runs outside to try to stop him [[YouAreTooLate but is too late]]]].

* In ''Film/SeNoEvil1971'', Sarah screams "NOOOO!" three times after finding her murdered cousin's body.

* Done hilariously in ''Film/SilentMovie''. Mel Funn, making the first silent movie in forty years, has the brainstorm of inviting reknowned mime Marcel Marceau. Calling France, he asks Marcel if he would to star in the picture. Marcel's response is the only audible line in the entire film; ''"NON!"''
** When Mel Brooks called Marcel Marceau to ask him to say the line, he originally pitched it as just "NO!" Marceau replied that he would only do it if it was "NON!" instead. Why? Because it would make more sense for him to say it in French. As it happened, it inspired a great follow-up gag where the caller admitted he didn't understand Marceau because he doesn't speak French, despite the fact that "No" and "Non" sound practically the same.

* In many cases, it's the character's final line of the movie (there are even cases where it's ''the'' final line of the movie: here, Wesley Snipes' ''Jungle Fever'', the telefilm ''Christmas Every Day''...).

* In ''Bridge to Silence'', Marlee Matlin's character both screams and signs her Big No when told that her husband is dead. How to do a Big No in AMSLAN: Using your right hand, make a "bird's bill" with your thumb and pointer and middle fingers. Clap them together rapidly for as long as you want your Big No to last.

* ''Diavolo in Corpo'' a.k.a. ''Devil in the flesh'': Giulia (played by Maruschka Detmers) says this trope after a diary is read to her by someone.

* Parodied by Creator/WilliamShatner in ''Invasion Iowa'', writing 13 O's on his cue card.

* In the 1986 movie ''No Mercy'', Eddie Jilette (played by Richard Gere) threatened to shoot Alan Deveneux's arm off, Alan screamed it at Eddie pleading to not shoot.

* Horror movie ''Skinned Deep'' has an example, with the FinalGirl screaming "NOOOOOOOO!" repeatedly throughout the entire end credits.

** Plankton screams this as [=SpongeBob=] is using ThePowerOfRock to free everyone from his mind control.

*** Later in the film, Anakin/Vader, upon discovering that [[spoiler:Padmé]] is dead. Darth Vader's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s&feature=related usage of it]] at the end of ''Revenge of the Sith'' was criticized by many fans as {{Narm}} (and, subsequently, {{meme|ticmutation}}d to death). Some voices just can't handle the Big No, and audiences found out that James Earl Jones' is one of them. [[MemeticMutation Do Not Want]].
*** In fact, because it became so popular, they made sure that their first Vader soundboard, [[http://www.starwars.com/games-apps/star-wars-soundboard here]], had a '''''clean, no-BGM''''' version of it. [[MainstreamObscurity Nobody had used this sound]] until [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3FnKPyjLAc this]] came up, although it's meant for those who hadn't previously learned the existence of the no BGM sound.
*** Parodied in [[http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/darth-tragedy/ this I-Mockery feature]] and then [[http://www.digi-comic.com/?comicId=56 this strip]] of ''Digi-Comic''.

** Ginny does this twice in ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows: Part 2'' when [[spoiler:she thinks Harry's dead]].

* In ''Film/{{Superman}}'', Superman lets out a few quiet little nos, followed by a big scream of anguish, when Lois Lane dies in the earthquake. ToyFare magazine's Geek 100 rated this #6, as "the most agonized scream ever recorded on film."
