Tempboy

Christopher Lloyd's death in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

C'mon.
His wailing creeped me out big time when I was a kid.

Halx

I gotta agree with Tempboy.. haha

Clockwork Orange, with death by giant plastic wang. I think it may be Freudian... But If I want to cry like a prison bitch I watch the end to Boyz in the Hood.

Brad Pit meets car in Meet Joe Black. I loved seeing pretty boy eat winshield

I can't believe no one has mentioned Samuel L. Jackson's death scene in "Deep Blue Sea". CLASSIC.

LaZy

yeah, deep blue sea was classic. you could totally see it coming too. nobody has mentioned mel gibson in braveheart yet? c'mon people! oh yeah, tyler durden from fight club was good too.

The Donut Shop scene in Boogie Nights. The way the cashier's blood splatters all over the one guy left alive is classic.

beerguy

With out a doubt the greatest death scene is the opening scene in JAWS....if you don't think so, it's been a while since you have seen it. The fact that you don't see what is attacking her is what makes it so horrifying

Veccini was funny as shit.

My favorite would be when Joe Pesci stabs the guy over and over with the pen in Casino. Not sure why, I just love that scene. It sets the tone for the rest of the movie, which would have been better if there was more mob and less Stone and Robert interaction.

Oh yeah..Pitt in Fight Club and Mel in Braveheart. Mel was classic.

~springrain

excellent post... had totally forgotton about that one... and you are so right...
that scene... keeps some people of of the ocean to this very day... now that's lasting impact if you ask me...

big_bubba

What he said

soccerchamp76

The Emperor in the final fight scene of Gladiator.

The whoel crows falls silent as they see their leader die in front of them.

chavos

the baptism deaths in Godfather One. The fact that this scene is still imitated, parodied and revered as both graphic and understated....it goes down as my favorite use of fake blood ever.

monkeydriven

Friday the 13th part IV (I think)...when Jason picks up the kid in the sleeping bag and swings like a baseball bat into a tree...so godawfully bad that it is classically good...

I've seen all of these, and they are good, no doubt about it. But my favorite death scene comes from a little gem called Raising Arizona. In the final fight scene where Nick Cage comes away from Randall 'Tex' Cobb holding the pins to all of the grenades strapped to Tex's chest... The look of pure sorrow that crosses Nick's eyes as he dives for cover, and the look of absolute panic that overcomes Tex. Priceless. Depresses and cracks me up at the same time, every time.

He's not exactly the type of thespian that would come to mind in a thread such as this, but Randy Quaid in Independence Day was just awesome I thought. And Kevin Spacey in American Beauty too.
Although, I guess Pee Wee Reubens isn't exactly the type of thespian that would come to mind for this either, so........

Oh, yeah, and Full Metal Jacket and Dr. Strangelove were damn good ones, too. Stanley Kubrick was a twisted, twisted genius.

Indy actually killed that guy twice... the German mechanic from Raiders who gets the propellor to the face is ALSO one of the Sherpas in the Nepalese bar fight.

My favorite on-screen death? Well the most memorable one I can think of right now is from Final Destination, when Amanda Detmer (very hot, btw) gets waxed by the bus. I saw it in the theater and that one COMPLETELY caught me by surprise, along with everyone else in the theater. She's in the middle of a sentence and then WHAM! Just a spatter of blood on the guys she was talking to. All the deaths in that movie are pretty good, come to think of it.

Charlatan

Speaking of Joe Pecsi... His death in Goodfellas. The look in his eyes when he sees the plastic lined room... Great performance.

ohhh.. I love Joe Pesci's death in Casino too. Him and his brother. With the baseball bat's in the cornfield.
Such a hopeless seen for him.

The baby in Trainspotting....and then its resurrection in Renton's hallucination. That's some scary shit.

Though some of the recent comedic deaths like Zoolander's 3 roommates or Mustafa in Austin Powers are pretty funny.

Nikilidstrom

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.

Pyrate

Yeah, that Zoolander three-in-one death was funny as shit.

With out a doubt, Leonardo DiCrapio in Titanic.

Best part of the whole fucking movie is when she pries his cold dead hands off of the wood and pushes him down into the water.

Now that was cinema.

Any death in Cube, they were all shocking.

Kyle Reese in The Terminator. I so did not expect him to die when I saw that the first time. I was like "uh...he can't die...he's the hero!"

the previously mentioned first death in Jaws is also high up on my list.

I read an account of that shot which explained why she did such a good job acting like she was in extreme pain. The three divers below her with ropes attached to her got their signals mixed up and ended up breaking some of her ribs.

Ouch!

Bruce Willis' death in Armageddon was pretty good. The part where the dude asks "permission to shake the hand of the bravest man I've ever met" was like a punch in the gut.

dtheriault

The Hitcher ruled.
Also Raising Arizona is one of the greatest films ever.

The following is a spoiler for the little seen movie "To Live and Die in LA"

that overly dramatic guy in CSI is the lead actor and it's a pretty cool film with an amazing car chase scene and a great fight scene with wilhem dafoe and some big white guy kicking some huge blacks guys' asses.

anyway the main character dies and the second in command takes over. again the main character dies and the movie is not over nor is it a dream.

cool.

Conclamo Ludus

Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast.

4 people gather around him and are beating his bullet riddled body to a pulp, and as he's coughing up blood he turns to one of the guys, Aitch. And says "I fucked her," refferring to Aitch's wife who is also beating him to death.

Nice.

Jack Ruby

There's so many of them, but what springs to mind immediately is Ed Harris' death in Enemy At The Gates. The entire movie builds up to the meeting between the two great snipers and the moment Harris steps over that railroad and sees the Russian sniper in the corner of his eye is just breathtaking.

David Lynch's version of Dune

At the end, Muadeeb finished the fight
by shoving a knife under the chin of Sting
and right through his noggin.

And a big "AAAAA-CHA!" from Muadeeb to boot.
To cave in the floor by shoving the body further into it with his power,
and split his chest wide open with the force.

Now that's the way to kill a person.

mrquackers

Can we include TV? If so, Jimmy Smits on NYPD Blue. Damn episode still makes me teary-eyed.

On the big screen, I gotta go with Alan Rickman in Die Hard, too.

Just watched We Were Soldiers, and it had one of the most gruesome "death" scenes I have ever seen. I put death in quotes because it is unclear if the guy actually dies, but if he didnt, he probably wishes he had.

Anywho, it is when the Asian American soldier gets caught up in a misdirected napalm blast and is severely burned on most of his body. The medic comes over and asks a photographer to help him move the soldier to the chopper, and tells him to grab his legs. When the photographer does, he pulls, and takes handfulls of chared skin off the guys legs, almost down to the bone, as he screams bloody murder. When they finally get him on the chopper, he tells the photographer to tell his wife and kids he loves them. That scene sends chills down my spine even now.
