Best Death Scene from a Movie

What death scene made you cry the most? Mine was in the movie "Beaches" when Barbara Hershey finally succumbs to cancer.

Most disappointing death was in "Carlito's Way" with Al Pacino. He almost made a clean getaway with that stripper chick but got pumped full of lead just before he made it.

Funniest death scenes: toss up between the suicide deaths in "Heathers" (the gay football players) and Aunt Edna dying and getting strapped to the car in "National Lampoons Vacation."

Any others? Bloodiest death scenes, ones you never saw coming, etc.?

 

Best performance in a death scene.... Kevin Spacey L.A. Confidential.... you can see the life got out of him.

 

wiliam dafoe coming out of the jungle and across the field as the helicopter is taking off and up, clearing out from the fighting, in Platoon.

the dude in the bathroom in full metal jacket.

butch and sundance coming out of the doorway, guns up.

the dipshit corleone brother, rowed out onto the lake.

damien killing his brother out in the winter wonderland.

 

Agree with all of these.


Honorable Mention: That dude's head exploding in Scanners.

 

'Reap it, Murphy.'

 

Most realistic death? uh.... that guy that sat in the electric chair in "Faces of Death" prolly cuz he is dead...

 

Pee Wee in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hands down the best ever.

Sean Connery's last stand in the Untouchables

James Caan, sure you know this one

Boris the Blade from Snatch

And Agent Smith (sorry Agent Smith) getting done in by THE ONE.

 

my choice...

romeo and juliet's death scene, dino de laurentis/franco zeffirelli, 1968.

romeo played by leonard whitting and juliet by olivia hussey. cried my eyes out. :mercy:

boris the blade in snatch was pretty good. good one, gutter.

 

Best Death Scene (Emotinal): The Old Fart Don Corleone at the end of Godfather III . . . After his daughter got killed, he's bawling like mad . . . Towards the end of the film, there is the montage of his mob life leading up to the old man adjusting his glasses before he keels over


Best Death Scene (Blood): Joe Pesci getting the gun at the back of his head in GOODFELLAS . . Blood flowing all over the floor . . The guys who did him in summed it up best when they said 'That settle's it' (or something to that degree). Honorable mention though goes to Joe & his brother getting whacked at the end of CASINO :thumbup: . . . Just being dumped out in the middle of the corn field like that . . That was just plain mean !!!!!

 

'Now spit'
