Nightmare Fuel / Dead Poets Society

• The entire buildup to Neil's suicide certainly counts. One night, in the depths of despair after his father has withdrawn him from Welton in order to prevent him from pursuing his passion for acting, he gets up and slowly trudges over to a nearby window, noticing the wreath that served as his crown in the role of Puck — his happiest moment and greatest pride. He then opens the window and puts the crown on his head... and then just stands there with his eyes closed, contemplating for a while. As he does this, you can see him very slowly lowering his head. With a haunting synth drone playing all the while, he then begins to move slowly and silently through the darkened house... almost as if he were a ghost. He briefly inspects the key to the drawer where his father's gun is kept, before putting it in the lock, turning it, and opening the drawer. He then takes out the gun, wrapped in a white cloth, and puts it on the table; again, slowly. Then we see him just sitting there... very silent... very still... nothing but an empty shell completely resigned to his fate, focusing only on the gun in front of him and what he is about to do as the camera slowly zooms out. Then it quickly cuts to his father being suddenly woken up by something... and you can probably tell what it was.
