Best Movie Deaths of All Time Thread!!
I was watching on CNN Headline News that someone did a poll (forgot the source) but they rated the best movie deaths in cinematic history.
#1 was Janet Leigh's deathly shower scene in the original Psycho (1960).
My vote goes to Adam Goldberg's character getting knifed by the German in "Saving Private Ryan". For some reason that stands out to me as being so realistic and horrific, especially how the blade goes in and you see his face as he pleads for life.
So what do you think are the best deaths in film history?
