I'm sorry. But I gotta say this. I'm not really a fan of death scenes or movies in general. But when it's this bad. I just got to love it.

 

Oh, and if someone can tell me how to get the clip to show up and not just the link, I would be happy to know.

The Norwegian film industry is probably the worst acted, worst written, poorly paced and amateurishly put together thing in the history of everything, buuuuuut we do have the greatest death scene of all time (it's at 1:15:57 if the link don't wanna bump you there):

Any over-the-top gory death scene is great in my book.

So Tim Messenger's death from Hot Fuzz is one.

 

Although, Saruman's death in Return of the King is a pretty awesome way to go out.

For pure dramatic effect and the movie itself, the best death scenes (and the most beautiful) have to be Kaneda's death, and kapa's death from sunshine 2007, the music and the visuals make for a stelar combination,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBzVPXr8SNY -> Kapa's death (very beautiful)

[Midnight Blade 80]

Though I don't want to spoil anything Akai Shuichi from detective conan. Can't a video from just that clip but it's at the end of episode 504.

[Rockymoo 2,137]

This:

 

Back in the SNES days, any kind of death scene this... uh, 'detailed' was kind of a new thing as far as Nintendo games went. I was honestly creeped out the first time I saw it.

 

To skip straight to the death scene, it's at 0:36 in the video.

 

Poor Crocomire.

Before clicking onto this topic, I was intending on bringing up Tim Messenger's death from Hot Fuzz, but Broseph beat me to the punch. That scene's easily my second favorite movie death of all time.

 

My top favorite has gotta be the famous "riding the bomb" scene from Dr. Strangelove:

[Obsolete 681]

Pierrot le Fou contains the funniest suicide ever put on celluloid, though the Dr. Strangelove clip posted above does offer some stiff competition. Unfortunately I could not find a clip that features the lead-up to the death or the cut to end credits, but I guess this one will do...

The death of the Witch King was pretty badass.
Pretty much all of the important character deaths were awesome in Lord Of The Rings...including Sauron's...if you're gonna go out...why not take a whole army with you?

[Scootalove 10,689]

When Joker was shot by Tim Drake in Batman Beyond's animated movie, you would just have to see it for yourself to know the rest.

[QuirkyUsername 1,576]

Games well honourable mention goes to Vaas' a well constructed scene and fun way to look into Jason's forced drug trip and I always wondered considering how often these trips compare Jason and Vaas is it also delving into Vaas' psyche. The scene where Vaas' charges you over and over with a knife to which Jason responds "Why won't you die?" could this be how Vaas saw Jason as well despite the Macho façade. Everytime he tries to kill Jason he just gets back up again to hunt the mother bucker down but that's a discussion for another thread.
 
 
For those of you offended by such fairly strong language in here

 
Two of my favourite movie deaths just for sheer humour would have to be Big trouble in little china town I mean this guy literally inflates till explosion because that's what people do right?
 
 

 
And silent night deadly night's HILARIOUSLY awful "Garbage day" scene. First time I saw this I nearly wet myself laughing
 

 

 

I almost forgot. The death of Arcturus Mengsk. Growing up with Starcraft 1 and waited a good 12-13 years to see this son of a bitch get what he had coming. after how many playthroughs of "wow Mengsk is an DOUCHE" this scene was so satisfying even if the ending after it is a little cliche and flaccid.

My favorite would have to be Bellatrix's Death scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow's Part 2.

"NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH" has to be the greatest line in Harry Potter history.

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

4. Stavros ("Double Team"):

 

Nostalgia Critic: "Oh my God; we have Mickey Rourke on a mine, in the middle of a minefield, with a ferocious tiger, in a coliseum, with Jean Claude Van Damme, Dennis Rodman, Belloq, and a baby in a basket! If this does not deliver the most ****ing epic imagery I have ever seen in my entire life, I have lost all hope in mankind! Let’s see what happens."

@Eureka: There's one sound byte that always comes to mind when she blasts Belatrix away.

 

There's one scene from of all things, a Disney sequel, that really got me.

 

Lilo & Stich 2: Stich has a Glitch

Okay sure, he lives in the end, but you have to admit this is really tough to watch without shedding a tear. I've never seen the death of a main character handled so well, especially for a straight-to-video feature.

When I first saw this scene from RotJ, I was really shocked and amazed at Vader's turn and his subsequent end, and it really helped me determine much of what I believe in generally as to how even the most cruel people in life can be redeemed if shown a bit of goodness. But putting that aside, it's also the fact Vader gets to see his son not as an enemy, but someone he can truly be proud of, and Sebastian Shaw (the only true Anakin Skywalker imo) really did great in conveying that emotion along with regret at not having been there for Luke.

[CT-1138 3,182]

Harry Potter's death scene in the Deathly Hallows book. I swear, I shed a man-tear every time I read that part of the book. *Sniffs*

[FNGRpony 658]

VItalies death in lord of war

 

they say evil prevails when good doesn't act,

they should say

Evil prevails.

 

But than i love everything about that movie.

Richard III from the WWII adaptation of the Play, it's just kinda f***ed up but in a good way

 

http://youtu.be/YmiwGJGVDXk?t=4m2s

 

Also all the death scenes in Gurren Lagann for being the best displays in badassery

 

Kamina's in particular

http://youtu.be/KbF4_JAd6dE

 

 

[Cestler 9]

Well, he dosen't exactly DIE, but...I'll have you know that I watched this certain, part one certain day, and I only cried for a year:

"I don't want to go."

Me: *insert neveral floods of tears here*

[TheInsaneShane 359]

Ummm, so yeeeeaaah, there's allowed to be more than one right? ...Hehe. character, character character character character character character...DONE!!! :3

Here is probably my favorite death scene from a movie

 

Big Daddy from Kick Ass

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pbuEujuirY

 

The slow motion and nightvision sold it for me

[Esk 201]

I'm not really one to pick out which death scenes are the most creative, dramatic, or "out there" for lack of a better term.

But you have to admit, some of the Disney villain deaths are pretty gruesome, even if most of them died by losing balance off of a high building and falling for a great distance. However, Judge Claude Frollo's death in Hunchback of Notre Dame is probably the most dramatic case of this, not including the religious symbolism at the end. 

"And He shall smite the wicked.."

[Grand_Finale 529]

For most tear inducing, I would go with Lee's death in The walking dead game, Man, who didnt tear up at that scene? whatta ending

[Mars Caramel 319]

In the VGA remake of Space Quest I, you start out on a ship that's about to blow up, but as soon as you reach the escape pod, turn on the power, and the second you touch the throttle, the game "kills" you for not buckling up.

 

I personally found it hilarious, just because of being so bullshit.
