What do you guys think are the best death scenes in movies, from villians to heros to all those in between?

I think that William Wallace's from Braveheart is fantastic, but I also love Satine's in Moulin Rouge and Boromir's in LOTR: FOTR.

What about you?

Cinemaddiction
Already took mine w/ Boromir..so, I'll go with Kane in "Alien" with the chestburster, or even sadder..Sonny in "The Godfather", at the tool booth.

I would have said Boromir to, very heroic.
I think the way Ed Bloom dies in Big Fish is incredible, getting his son to tell him the story, turning into the fish.
I also like in Finding Neverland how Sylvia enters Neverland, the symbolism to death... breathtaking really.
Almost forgot King Theodon... 'I know your face... Eowyn'
Another one would be Maximus in Gladiator, walking through the field to meet his family.

Yeah the Big Fish and Finding Neverland ones were very good as well....for some reason I didn't like Theoden's...
I think I just have something against the Rohirrim.

Trinity in Revolutions. she sucked so bad.

Katsumoto in The Last Samurai. It was a good death.


Katsumoto: Perfect... They are all... perfect...

Aspiring Corpse
The 54 schoolgirls in Suicide Club.

I also really like the first death scene in Suspira.

Obi-Wan -Star Wars

Another one I thought of is Fred Aberline in From Hell. I think its nice how Sarge.Godleigh asks what the coins mean towards the beginning,then when he finds Aberline dead the coins are in this hand.
Strange contrast really from the other deaths in this film.

Have to agree with you on Rutger Hauer's death in BR. That was well done.

I give props also to the end of Big Fish.

Yoda in Return of the Jedi is the best death scene ever...

One of my favourites is when the guys on top of a building at the end of the film and he says "Im on top of the world ma" then all the gas tanks blow up on the roof. Is it James Cagney?, cant remember the name of the film either, which is annoying as its very famous, whats the name of the film?

Kowalski in "The Vanishing Point" A must see movie from the 70's. You'll not be sorry mates!

papabeard

the father in haute tention

bilb
Shadowlands cry

and the killing of John Doe in Se7en... the way brad plays it like he is working thru the pros & cons of killing him in his mind while he's in shock is pretty damn good

papabeard
the father decap in Haute Tension is awesome

cameron666
Mace windu in star wars Episode III.

Norman Osborn/Green Goblin in spider-man

Neo in the Matrix Revolutions

BackFire
John Merrick from the Elephant Man and R.P. McMurphy from One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest.

Both are incredibly touching and profoundly emotional scenes from two amazing movies.

When both of Mel Gibsons kids die in the Patriot.

ii know sad

Renegade-agent
hmmmm for me it's a tie between:
ed in shaun of the dead "i love you ed" "alright gaaaaaaaaaaaay"
Carlito brigante,man this scene really gets to me,when their taking him away on the stretcher and he's thinking to him self sad
Neo in matrix revolutions "it's a trick!" "you were right,you were always right....it was inevitable" -intense
and lastly from dragonballz when vegeta dies and he starts crying,i thought it was really powerful how the great and powerful prince of the sayians had been reduced to nothing crushed and then goku buries him-man that was powerful stuff for a cartoon

Misc_Rose
I know that this isn't a film but in fact a popular TV series but when Father Ralph de Bricassart dies in 'The Thornbirds' is very sad. It's such a beautiful series and book.

DarkC
