Looking for a movie title

There was a movie that I saw on cable at least 10 years ago and I can't remember what the name was. The only part that I can remember was that this man (who had a young son) committed suicide by pouring gas all over himself and then lighting a match. It was an older movie. It can't imagine it came out any time before 1980, but I remember so little of it that its tough to say. via /r/movies http://ift.tt/2tj9MQl
