Oh wait - I'm sorry - the absolute BEST death scene in ANY MOVIE EVER MADE HAD TO BE THIS:

Samuel L. Jackson: You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man. But we're gonna stick together and we're gonna survive and WE'RE NOT GONNA FIGHT ANYMORE! Now the first thing we're gonna do is

RRRARRR! A Shark comes up and CHOMPS Sam Jackosn into pieces dragging his ass back into the water. The funniest damn thing about this is, well two things. One my brother and I were watching this with my mom and we knew what was coming, but she didn't and she started clapping for Sam Jackson as he rallied the troops - even pumping her fist in the air - Her scream when the Shark JUMPED out of the water was one of the funniest damn things I have ever seen in my life - Two - if you slow-mo the movie on DVD, you'll notice that as Jackson's being dragged back into the water, he's got a huge smile on his face and he's shrugging his shoulders and arms as if to say "What are you gonna do" - absolutely classic death scene and the reason the DEEP BLUE SEA remains one of my favorite campy movies.

Great scene! In an otherwise bad movie.

Most satisfying death scene for me: When Mr. Blonde's chest suddenly explodes as he is about to light the cop on fire in Reservoir Dogs and you realize that Mr. Orange is emptying his gun into him.

And one of my favorite lines from Dave Chappelle (impersonating Samuel Jackson for a commercial);

"I ain't screaming! This is how I talk! Ain't you never seen any of my movies? Juice? That was a good one! Deep Blue Sea? They killed me in that movie! A f%&$ing shark ate me!"

That army guy being de-gutted in "Day of the Dead". I can't remember the F/X guy's name but he was fantastic in the 70's and 80's. He was even a character in a Simpson's episode.

There was some pretty cool death scenes in Final Destination 1 and 2.

There was also a couple of cool death scenes in Braveheart.

When Wallaces best friends Dad died. The guy kick some major arse in a lot of the battles and his son holding him while he died. Great scene and very sad I cried like a baby.

Also the very last scene were Wallace dies and yells his last words - FREEDOM!

I'll try and toss a few new ones in here. Some are more memorable rather than best.

The Hitcher when Rutger Hauer's character ties the girl between 2 big rigs. Horrible.

Bursting chest scene in Alien.

The last transporter scene in the fly.

When the android gets torn in half in Aliens.

Lethal Weapon 2 - car chase scene ends with a surfboard going through windshield and decapitating bad guy.

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. Nicholson getting the mercy kill.

Vader killing Obie Won.

Plenty to choose from in Kill Bill 1 and 2.

Darth Maul killing Liam's character in Phantom Menace.

Robo Cop - bad guy is screaming and melting from being dumped in toxic waste and then gets hit by car and explodes.

Raiders of the Lost Ark had a few. The famous truck scene the nazi gets run over. Indy non chalantly shoots the swordsman. Fist fight scene with airplane, nazi gets eaten up by propeller blades.

Last of the Mohigans - At the end the young son of the Mohigan is killed and then his girlfriend jumps to her death. The response from the bad indian was priceless.

The final death scene in American Werewolf in London.

The plane crash in Alive was pretty intense.

Although the actual deaths are never seen I'd say that Seven is up there for gut wrenching murders.

The final scene in Breakdown where she releases the break on the truck and it falls off the bridge and crushes the guy.

Andy Garcia's character in Blackrain getting it in the parking garage with Michael Douglas forced to watch helplessly behind a locked gate.

Tom Hanks getting it in Road to Perdition

James Caan getting assinated in Godfather.

Bonnie and Clyde

Adaptation -Chris Coopers wife getting killed in car while backing out of driveway. And Cage's brother going through the windshield in another scene.

Wow I better stop. I could keep going all night... LOL...

Bill Paxton in Near Dark when he chomps a redneck in a bar and looks up blood all over his face and says to his buddies: "I hate it when they ain't been shaved".

Kristy Swanson.
