Second best death scene?

The cartoons thread made me think of this: Anyone who stuck out Transformers Armada right to the bitter end might have been a little moved by Starscream's exit.

The REAL Starscream was killed when Galvatron atomized him for betraying Megatron and the other decepticons after thier failed attempt to crush the autobots.

No argument from me, here. But take Armada as a sort of Dallas style Starscream's-taking-a shower-and-it-all-turns-out-to-be-a-horrible-horrible-dream style thing. His character was the only one the writers bothered to develop in the series and they did a surprisingly good job. You actully felt quite sorry for him by the end. Oh yeah, and when Unicron splatters him all over the planet, you cheer! He he he!

Can't believe I didn't think of this before, one of the best 'death scenes' or, more appropriately the aftermath of a person's death was a full episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer called "The Body" (from season 5 IIRC).

Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi. He sacraficied himself to save his son that was one movie Epic(I can't classify it just as a movie).

I feel the same way. And now that I have seen some prequels, when I watch that scene, I tear up because I can really feel the conflict within him. I can almost put myself behind the helmet, with my thoughts as vader, like "He looks like his mom", or "The way he looked at me right there, she looked at me that way once."

and when he finally was watching luke getting fried, and he was deciding which side to be on, i can hear him screaming PADME! PADME!

It truly is a wonderful/bitter death scene. The evil Darth Vader is destroyed, and Anakin is redeemed, and thus the galaxy is free.

It's ok to revive your own thread, right?

Having recently seen Hot Fuzz, I think that the "church" death scene is one of the craziest I have ever seen.

I'll not describe it, for it is best to not know what's coming when you see it. And if you've seen the movie, you know exactly of what I speak, and that I am not lying. Crazy stuff, man!

Didn't realize this was an old thread. Sorry.

Two I don't see mentioned in this thread (both from movies):

Harmonica's brother in Once Upon a Time in the West by Sergio Leone. One of the most striking and impressionable visuals I've ever seen in a movie, ever.

Captain Rhodes in Day of the Dead. Pretty gruesome.
