300 was hemmoraging awesome deaths
That last bit at the end of Jet Li's Hero was pretty wild too
John Coffey in The Green Mile. :(
Snape killing Dumbledore. :joker: Wait, has that been filmed yet?
Bill's death in Kill Bill.
Clayton in Disney's Tarzan.
Bambi's mothers death.
The Wicked Witch of the West. One of the most imitated and parodied, but for a reason.
Pencil trick in The Dark Knight.
Sonny at the toll booth.
I want you to really listen to me. My eyes are open.
What's that smell...?
Also the end of Gladiator.
Alex Murphy's death in Robocop.
Elle Driver in Kill Bill. 8-)
Mufasa!
As much as I hated this happening, it was epic.
My particular favorite has to be the scene at the warehouse in Resevoir Dogs. Joe, Nice Guy Eddie, Mr. White, and Mr. Orange are in a Mexican Standoff. Joe shoots Mr. Orange, Mr. White shoots Joe, and then Nice Guy Eddie and Mr. White shoot each other. Mr. White and Mr. Orange survive briefly. Mr. Orange reveals to Mr. White after that he is a cop and then Mr. White shoots Mr. Orange dead only to be shot and killed by the cops.
Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi's character) is the only one who survives the warehouse devastation but it's assumed he was either caught or killed later.
^Yes, Reservoir Dog's Mexican Standoff kicks tremendous amounts of ass.
I'll say, Tony Montana in Scarface.
^Way to continue off a block of the quote pyramid that was already taken care of. :p
John Coffey in the Green Mile seriously had me crying my eyes out. Seriously.
But so did Bill at the end of Kill Bill.
The first time you hear the Bible quote in Pulp Fiction.
I got a good one. Nikki and Paolo getting buried alive in Lost. Not a movie death, but it's the best television death scene I've ever seen.
I second alllllllllllll these.
Suicide Club also had some pretty radical death scenes, but none beat the opening death scene in Begotten:

Wanted had some pretty epic death scenes. The scene where Wesley breaks into the warehouse with all the thugs in the threading room and blasts them all to. Especially stabbing the guy in the eye with his gun.
marquiz in once upon a time in mexico... lose your knees and your brain pan
highlander endgame: Duncan decapitates Connor
I know nothing about Final Destination, but you should educate yourself about The Machine Girl. And also, agreed, best magic trick ever.
"The Boondock Saints" had a few good deaths. the mob boss at the end was the best. i think it was anyway.
There are loads but the first that comes to mind is The Sicilian Scene from True Romance.
Tom Cruise, Far and away. :excited:
Also the end of Double Indemnity. Edward G. Robinson's character takes a small gesture and makes it sad and deeply meaningful.
I've heard the movie was supposed to end with a scene in a gas chamber, but the final version is far more poetic.
Slice 'n dice!
Resident Evil Laser Scene
The last ten minutes of Equilibrium are pretty epic.
Hm, for starters I'll have to go with O-Ren Ishii's death in Kill Bill. The fight scene was great, and her death was well executed.
Another movie death scene I like has to be almost any from the Final Destination movies. Most notably, the infamous tanning scene. Ugh, that freaked me out!
Hm...I'll probably recall more later.
I like the queen alien's death in Aliens. It was cute to see her flail about going raaahr.
Hell yeah. Spock sure knew how to die well on-screen, and the scene was so good that Shatner even acted for a change. The fact that he came back in the sequel doesn't do much to detract from the poignancy of his death and burial. Great way to end a great movie.
And speaking of coming back in the sequel... Gandalf the Grey died fighting alone against a giant mothersmurfing fire demon, and killed it after several days of continuous battle. You can't get much more badass than that. So badass it had to be shown across two movies. Also in The Fellowship of the Ring was Boromir's heroic sacrifice, where he also fights virtually alone against an enormous horde, slaying countless millions of them in the process, and simply refusing to accept defeat even when he's got enormous half-inch thick arrows driven through his chest. It's hard to get a more noble onscreen death than a guy laying down his life to protect those who can't defend themselves. His is all the more powerful because, in his dying moments, he truly believes that the world might be lost beyond hope of salvation.
"Yipee Ki Ay mothersmurfer"
*boom*
:)
The German Sniper in Saving Private Ryan
The death of Hanshiro Tsugumo in Seppuku.
Kayleigh. Butterfly Effect. 5 years old.
I liked Ripley's Alien3 death more than most people did, though I've also seen the alternate where the chestburster doesn't come out, though it's less dramatic.
No wait, scratch that: Kane's death in Alien. The first chestburster scene. Oh my God, freakin' epic. I still get freaked out watching that.
So it evoked an uncommon response from you that most death scenes don't? I'd say that's pretty good.
I was just thinking that too :P Closest to tentacles we'll probably see in western live-action non-porn for a long time.. Just sayin'.
Yes. This. This is an awesome movie death.
Norris in The Thing. Well... The Thing which has taken Norris' form, more accurately.
The huge guy Snake kills in the fight he's forced into by the Duke, in Escape From New York.
Kakihara in Ichi the Killer.
And every one of the Samurai's deaths in The Seven Samurai.
The death of the characters in The Fountain. The last ten minutes of that movie are some of the best I've ever seen.
Hey, that was a neat movie. Must have been the only two people that saw it.
You sure? The director was partially inspired by Overfiend.
Not for the Squemish SpoilersChristabella gets hauled up, crucifixion style by Alessa's barbed wire and is eventually beside herself. :eek:
I saw The Fountain and it was okay.
I loved a) the scenes between the stuntman and the little girl and b) the amazing visual story that unfolds in the girl's imagination. The weakness was the overwrought melodramatic dialogue in the story within the story. Maybe that was the point, but it made me cringe.
I thought the Singing Detective handled the same idea much better.
Probably the Scarface himself, Tony Montana.
