The highway people roast a baby on a spit in The Road. — Save

The most recent Dune movie when Paul killed Jamis. In the book, he cried because he never killed anyone before and to the fremen, this was a huge show of respect to "shed water for the dead." This little subplot helped endure him to the fremen from the beginning. Movie, no tears. — Save
