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*
Which one?"Yipee Ki Ay mothersmurfer"
*boom*
'Cause each of those involved at least one death, and a fair amount of awesome.
The German Sniper in Saving Private Ryan
The "Are you entertained scene" from Gladiator. Just because Maximus is bad ass. Other notable movies with many awesome scenes are 300 and Sin City.
Did Gandalf actually die though? Or did his spirit leave him and return again, so that he could finish his task.
The death of Hanshiro Tsugumo in Seppuku.
Kayleigh. Butterfly Effect. 5 years old.
The below sentence is true.
The above sentence is false.
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.
You're insane, Brayne... I could not disagree more, I was going to post that it was the opposite...
I would have to vote the death of the leader woman in the Silent Hill movie as quite... uhm... cool.
No. No no no no no no no. I remember watching that scene and as it progressed I became more and more certain they were going to do exactly what I was hoping they weren't.You're insane, Brayne... I could not disagree more, I was going to post that it was the opposite...

Lo and behold, they did, and I recoiled in disgust and hid under a pillow.
So it evoked an uncommon response from you that most death scenes don't? I'd say that's pretty good.
Yeah, I actually thought it was pretty well done, since most horror movies never really phase me.
Most horror movies don't go there and back with barbed wire, though. It sort of reminded me of the tree rape scene in Evil Dead.
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'.
