Most "Dramatic Death Scene" in a movie

King Kong

Cody Jarrett in White Heat.

Opening the box at the end of Kiss Me Deadly.

Messala's death scene in Ben-Hur.

Major Kong in Dr. Strangelove.

The Book Lady's death in Fahrenheit 451.

Bonnie And Clyde

Sonny at the toll booth in The Godfather.

Captain Quint in Jaws.

The shark in Jaws.

Nicky's Russian roulette scene in The Deer Hunter.

Zhora running through the plate glass in Blade Runner.

Pris's spastic death in Blade Runner.

Leo with the machine gun in Miller's Crossing.

Well I personally wouldn't consider a "dramatic" death with one that is just asking for sympathy, I would consider it as a death of a character using extreme methods. In this case I think you can't go wrong with either The Creeper in jeepers Creepers 2, or the main woman in Stephen King's "Misery"; neither of whom seemed to want to die, no matter how much you punished them!

Yeah I agree about Big Fish, Edward's death is pretty dramatic. I also think when Maximus (Gladiator) dies, that's pretty heartbreaking for the audience because of the melancholic music and the cool effects it really tugs at the heart. Of course the Passion of the Christ was very dramatic as well.

I think the most dramatic for me would have to be when the 1st Terminator sinks into the lava and gives...sniff...the thumbs up.....it's too emotional to talk about.....

That last one was just silly but the others I though were very dramatic. =)

Chow Yun-Fat's death in The Killer was very sad and dramtic
Also his death in crouching tiger hidden dragon, and when Ziyi Zhang jumps to her death.
Sean connerys death in the untouchables.

And that ewok that gets shot by an at-st

I don't know about most dramatic, but the least dramatic would defo have to be Bill in Kill Bill 2. What was up with that? I get the whole theory behind it, but i still though it sucked.

When this guy was dying at the end of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992).



Yup!

I trust ya!

1- In America - when Mateo is dying in the hospital
2- My Life - when Michael Keaton is gasping for his last breath
3- The Butterfly Effect - Director's cut ending on DVD when the baby chokes itself
4- House of Sand and Fog - when the Iranian couple commit suicide
5- The Notebook - When the old couple lie in the bed and die in their sleep together
6- Charlotte's Web - When the spider Charlotte sings while dying
7- The Land Before Time - When littefoot's mom is killed by the TRex
8- Braveheart - Mel Gibson gettin his head chopped off
9- Passion of the Christ - Jesus dying
10- Life as a house - Kevin Kline dies while the wife plays a video for him

Thin Red Line - There's a bombing of a grassy area and it cuts to this baby bird that is all broken and trying to walk away. It doesn't show it die but it would. That is fierce.

i thought it was pretty dramatic when leon was shot and then blew him and gary oldman up at the end of leon

One of my favorite Death Scenes is the scene in True Romance where Christian's character shoots Gary Oldman in the junk, i'm pretty sure he died from that.

Certainly the most dramatic and shocking scene wasn't a death scene, but the 15 minute torture scene in Gibson's Passion.
