4. Braveheart (1995) — 184
Less a historically accurate biopic and more a crusading actioner, Mel Gibson’s Braveheart is one of the ’90s most quotable Oscar darlings.
For the most part, Gibson’s William Wallace is the star of the show, but many are given their time to shine. This includes Sophie Marceau’s Princess Isabelle, Angus Macfadyen’s empathy-magnet Robert the Bruce, Patrick McGoohan’s contemptible King Edward “Longshanks,” and, briefly, Catherine McCormack’s Murron MacClannough. And, while only half those people die (including Wallace), there are plenty who die either on the battlefield or at the hands of “Longshanks,” including his own son’s lover.
