Since everybody's already mentioned Paul Reubens in "Buffy," I'll have to go with:
Rutger Hauer in "Blade Runner"
Mr. Creosote in "Monty Python's Meaning of Life"

sk

Not a death but in "Misery", when Kathy Bates breaks James Caan's ankles....OUCH

Leon: The Professional

"Stansfield?"
"At your service"
"This..... is...... from................ Ma....thil...da"
He presses something into Stansfield's hand. Stansfield opens his hand. It's a grenade pin. He frantically opens the dead man's jacket. There are grenades. Lots of grenades.
"Shit"

noooo
sk beat me to it. in my opinion, one of the most poetic deaths in any film, rutger hauer in bladerunner. "time... to die."

ricky-oh has some pretty unbelievable stuff in it.
if you have access to it, "ichi the killer". japanese film, just about every death is fairly remarkable, at least by common film decency standards. be sure to see the uncut version, ill not spoil the many and varied ways in which ichi manifests destruction :p

i can't remember if he actually died or not but in the movie Hannibal when Hannibal Lecter makes that asshole D.A. played by Ray Liotta eat his own brains... I assume he dies later...

True dat on the Leon, god that movie rules.

Gibsons death in braveheart makes me misty eyed still...

and ofcourse when the boxer gets killed by brad pitt in snatch

And heroin bob in SLC punk! SUch irony..

one of the best death scenes in a book - the end of The Running Man when he rams that plane into the building (right into the office of the guy that got him in the mess in the first place) with his intestines trailing 20 ft behind him.
That disgraceful movie destroyed the book and turned the story into a cliched action flick with a stupid happy ending.

Professional
'oh shit' Ka-Bloom

This is horrible of me I know, but that scene had me rolling with laughter and it could be the same casue. BUt I'll offer something I find hard to believe about myself: balling when Data dies in the latest Star Trek. Thank God I was alone.

Both really good ones.

I like those scenes where a character I grow to hate gets it.

Young Guns- Billy coming back at the last moment to finish that prick off

Pulp Fiction- Bruce going to that back room and slicing the fuck out of the hillbilly

Enter the Dragon- Bruce finishing that guy off because a picks up a bottle after getting his ass kicked

Dune (both versions) Paul finishing his cousin off

LOR- Stridor chopping that Orks head off


What about the old tear jerkers

Old Yeller
THe Champ
Thats all Im going to admit to

Aye, that scene was simply...brilliant.

I'd also have to say in Reservoir Dogs, when pretty much everyone dies at the end. Great acting from Harvey Keitel.

Pulp Fiction- Where John Travolta gets it... no matter what never leave your gun lying there when you have to shit!

The whole beginning of Final Destination 2.... freaked me out driving by log trucks...

The lawyer in Thirteen Ghosts.... he's laughing at the ghosts then one gets out and he starts to run and gets cut in half vertically by glass.

When I was quite young and saw for the first time, The Wizard of Oz. The notion of death hadn't quite invaded my psyche yet. Then to see poor innocent Dorothy douse the Wicked Witch of the West with water......

Even now I can remember how I felt as I watched her melt down to nothing but a blob on the ground. Then even more shocked as little Toto ran and pawed at her. Powerful stuff, especially for a tyke.

tony montana!
shot in his back, he falls into the water feature in his house.
