Best Death Scene

Moulin Rouge.


... And that's how I ended up in Bahamas, buck-naked.

Slither (2006)

When that no name redneck out in the field gets slashed by the monster and literally dropped his guts!
Great stuff!

Medic "Wade", Saving Private Ryan

I don't want to give anything away, so I will just say the death scene by the surprise cameo in Zombieland. That was a great death scene! Hilarious.

Mufasa's death is pretty darn epic.

No matter how many times I watch Mohicans, the deaths at the end still 'get' me...

Hands down.

First off, your a douche because you are fishing for a fight. Second off, your a douche because you are the only person in the world who hasnt seen braveheart. Third off, your a douche for not knowing that the film would end in william wallace's death before you ever even saw the movie.

WARNING! The Departed Spoiler Below!

I think the one that hit pretty hard was when DiCaprio got it in The Departed. I mean you follow this guy for the whole story and then splat. A head shot no less. The suddenness of it was so shocking, but kind of cool too because it set up the ending and let the other characters do what they had to do. But damn! That was cold Marty!

I definitely am more affected by the emotional aspect of a death scene than any physical, so my 2 top picks aren't too surprising.

Little Women 1994 "Beth's death scene"
Fried Green Tomatoes 1991 "Ruth's death"

Also worth an honorable mention is Steel Magnolia's when Julia Roberts character, Shelby dies, Sally Fields had some unbelievably great moments of acting in that movie!

+ rep for mentioning Beth's death in Little Women. That one often gets me.

I can't watch that scene without bawlin like a baby...I really think that Claire Danes put in an oscar worthy performance in that movie.

Major Kong in Dr. Strangelove.

Best way to die EVER.

For me deaths have to be unexpected somewhat, like that shock the viewer, and "emotionally" are good *possible spoilers below!*

the classic one of course is in bonnie and clyde where they get destroyed

godfather would be another classic death with the tommys and the nephew and the toll stations and the nephew and all that

personally even though its not movie scrubs where ben dies, more his funeral it was great, and when cox kills 3 people his reaction was great

favorite movie death though was in elephant where in the library the girl gets killed then the photographer and at the end of that movie when he kills his partner, if you havent seen elephant its quite messed up and not that good of a movie due to all the walking scenes but it has a good message

I've thought of two other scenes that get me Glutton reminded me with Kong...

King Kong 2005...I cried when Kong died

and 2002 Star Trek Nemisis....this one just hacks me off! Data? Really? Freakin Data? of all the people to kill off in that movie?

WARNING - SPOILERS Do not watch unless you know what happens, don't care or are just too damn curious. Talk about helplessness! Start at about 4:00 on the first one here:
