Here are a few of my favorites:

-Jimmy Caan in "The Godfather". A classic.

-Sean Connery in "The Untouchables". The man still crawled in his appartment leaving a trail of blood after getting 100 bullets in him.

-Kevin Spacey in "L.A. Confidential". After he says "Rollo Tomassi" you can literally SEE the life go out from his eyes. Great acting.

-I remember some guy in a "Friday The 13TH" movie getting impaled in the eye with a party favor (sorry I'm not sure of the name, it's one of those things that you blow into at birthdays and it makes a wacky noise you know? Ok no sex jokes implied here ) and yes it did make that wacky noise as it plunged in the eye. Stupid, but funny!

-Willem Dafoe in "Platoon". The slow motion and his arms stretched towards the sky...

Ok enough about what I think , what are yours?

There's so many in the Friday the 13th series, but one that stands out is Rob in The Final Chapter: "He's killing me! He's killing me!"
Also the death of "Dead****" was awesome: corkscrew to the hand, machete to the face.

Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan

Angels on our shoulders...

*Got to love the Optimus Prime Death in Transformers the movie!
*Maximus in Gladiator....the music had a big effect on that scene
* I second Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan

I enjoyed the pseudo-death scene in the beginning of Final Destination

Definately the kid coming out of the dentist's office in Final Destination 2. It was only a movie, yet it was still disturbing to see.

Samuel L. Jackson's death in Deep Blue Sea.
"You think water's fast? You should see ice... ice has a mind of it's own..."

Well, I'd say we're bound to have more than a few films spoiled in this thread.

Two older Aussie films come to mind.

Gallipoli, the ending.
Breaker Morant. "Shoot straight you bastards!"

Guys, look! We should agree on some ground rules. Nobody has seen every movie out there so we should use spoiler tags, like this:

[title of movie here]

The Great Silence

Scarface

Casino


How could I forget The Wild Bunch

This would be a Minority Report spoiler.

Best to leave the film's title outside of the spoiler tags, yes?

Best Death Ever (At least the funniest I feel)

Marked For Death

Screwface's battle with Segal ends with ...

McCabe & Mrs. Miller


Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid

Matrix

Goodfellas


Scarface


Ghost Dog - The Way of the Samurai


Final Destination


Final Destination 2


Identity


Thirteen Ghosts


Ghost Ship

Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong - that's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when *death* is on the line!". Hahahahahah!



Bateman: You like Huey Lewis and the News?

I think these deaths are all done well....

Road to Perdition


The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring


Also the Godfather and Minority Report deaths are well done.

Star Trek: Wrath of Khan


Snatch


True Romance


Jaws


Untouchables


Casino


Goodfellas


Thunderball


On Her Majesty's Secret Service


Road To Perdition


Clue


No Contest (a cheesey B movie with Dice Clay and Shannen Tweed)


Whew that was a lot.

a dude is doggy-style...has a meathook jammed up his rump...and the killer proceeds to rip upward, taking the entire spine with it. from Zombie Doom. just painful to watch.

Well executed scene, but in the context of the movie it was way too predictable, imo.

Scanners. It would suck to have my head blow up like that. Especially in front of all those people. I guess i'm shy.

NO FREAKIN' CONTEST!

Raiders...
-- The opening of the ark of the convenant...

Mortal Kombat 2
