The bus kill in Final Destination is very effective and also the massive pile up at the beginning of Final Destination 2. and I agree the head through the bannister in haute tension.
I think kills in more modern horror movies are more creative and imaginative, trying to come up with something original, admittedly this can result in exagerated and ridiculous, cheesy comedy kills.But I think traditional style kills, well crafted will always be more effective.
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)
[boxing Jason]
Julius: Go ahead... take your best shot, motherfu**er!
Then Jason punches him so hard his head flys off the building and into a dumpster. Probably my favorite Jason kill. followed by in Part 4 where he kills the kid and his blood goes on the projector that was creative. Oh! and the slumber bag of death in Jason X was good. Thats my favorite Jason's in a basic order but theres probably some less mainstream ones I'm forgetting.

***** got pwn3d. Cheers, James. You're absolutely right.
