Best death scene in a movie

JT Walsh getting a truck dropped on his head in Breakdown.

South African baddie (remember when it was ok to just hate south africans because they were south africans) getting a container dropped on his head in Lethal Weapon 2.

Journo getting a bit of church spire dropped on his head in Hot Fuzz.

Generally anybody getting offed by having heavy stuff dropped on their heads.:cool:
 
Paul Newman scene (which is so brilliant i wont reveal) in Torn Curtain by Hitchcock.

Light years scarier than Marian Crane in psycho - the Torn Curtain one is best one of all time IMO.

Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner... lotta cool death scenes in that actually... but rutger's topped em...

i have seen things you people wouldn't beleive
attack ships burning at tennhausser gate
moon-beams, glisstening in the dark, off the shoulder of orion
all these memories
will be lost in time
like tears,
in rain.

Blade runner is cool .No one mentions leon "for matildha ":) .

Oh yes, that's the one, death-o. :)

Also Scarface

And also Rutger in Bladerunner, my quote was a vote.
 
Seems that some people think a good movie death should be a jolly good gore-fest, which is fair enough.

I'm of the opinion that a good death scene should bring a tear to your eye, and yet make you feel kind of inspired, deeply touched sort of thing.

The double-suicide in House of Sand and Fog was magnificently sad, my girlfriend was inconsolable.:)

platoon i think

where he falls to his knees

Dillon's death on Predator is pretty good. Laser shot amputates right arm, Dillon struggles to grab spare gun with the other arm but unfortunately for him the predator reaches him beforehand and impales him with his forearm-mounted twin serrated blades.

If that's what you want, the death scene in Elvira Madigan fills the bill. Or, with creep factor thrown in, 'Night, Mother.
 
i was persuaded to go see saw 3 at the cinema a while back, despite having not seen the first two and really not liking these nu-teenslasher movies.

as a film its fairly terrible, but if you like that sort of thing theres some really elaborate and gratuitous death scenes which had me laughing at the ridiculousness of the level of gore. the final death sees the guy get every one of his limbs slowly twisted 360% in a specially built death machine, lovely.
