Second best death scene?

Ok, now I know that the overwhelming majority of people will answer, "Boromir's death scene is the greatest of all death scenes ever captured on film."

So aside from the death of Boromir, what's the coolest/greatest death scene in a movie?

(Oh, and in case you don't know, Boromir is a character in the Lord of the Rings trilogy...and if this is a spoiler for you...well, I'm sorry. But you should know this by now.)

I sort of assumed when I read the thread title that the obvious number one scene would be Paul Reubens in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie, not the TV show).

Babylon 5, last episode of season 3, on Z'Ha'Dum. You know who I'm talking about (don't want to spoil it).

That was awesome.

And Obi Wan Kenobi in Ep 4. That wasn't bad either.

Shouldn't that actually be a lack of a death scene? I mean, really, the guy never died, he just went on...and on...and on...and on...

Mr. Halloran (was that his name?) in The Shining. I mean, you gotta love it when a guy catches a late night flight from Florida to Colorado, braves snowy roads and avalanches, to make it to a snowbound hotel, and promptly get an axe in the chest courtesy of Jack Nicholson. Although maybe that should get labelled Most Pointless Death Scene.

I always get choked up when I see the death of the main bad guy at the end of True Lies, but maybe its because my father went the same way.

IMO the best Babylon 5 death scene was same season:
Morden comes for Kosh, Kosh fights. He knew he brought it on himself, but it had to be done.

Your dad got strapped to an air-to-air missile and fired through a skyscraper into a helicopter?
