One of the greatest deaths, and greatest movies, was Jennifer Jason Leigh in the Hitcher. When Hauer has her tied up to the Semi and its trailer, then slowly lets the clutch out while the cops are standing right there trying to talk him out of it. I kept thinking the entire time that they are going to save her, they just have too. But nope, drawn and quartered by a truck.
Also just about any of the deaths in Day Of The Dead (not Dawn of the Dead, big difference) are too good not to mention. Especially the leader of the militia when, after being shot repeatedly by one of the "trained" zombies, opens a door to what he thinks is his escape, only to fall in to the arms of a throng of waiting zombies, who subsequently rip him apart at the waist, pulling his legs off, while he screams "choke on 'em!" over and over again. Romero is a genious.
