Some are already mentioned, but:
-Hans Gruber in Die Hard
-William Wallace in Braveheart (and King Edward's two seconds later)
-Murron in Braveheart, I love the look in her eyes, hoping beyond hope
-The magistrate who kills Murron in Braveheart, I especially like how he falls against Wallace's shoulder before hitting the ground. Okay, yeah, I really like Braveheart, although less so after Gibson went off the deep-end.
-Maximus in Gladiator
-Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator
-Pretty much every time Nicholas Cage or Sean Connery kills someone in the Rock ("It's you, you're the rocketman", stuffing the VX ball in the other guy's mouth only to have to stab himself in the heart, unloading a whole clip into the mine cart guy, Connery killing the one guy with the big vent-box thing, etc. Hilarious.
-Beowulf (or however they spell it in the movie) in 13th Warrior

Just reread the entire thread. I think everyone missed it because they were over-focused on Boromir:
Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf.
also...
Return of the King: Denthor, The Witch King of Angmar
A few others...
Escape from New York: Slag (in the ring with Snake), The Duke, Brain, Maggie.
Groundhog Day: "I have been stabbed, shot, poisoned, frozen, hung, electrocuted, and burned." Okay, not all at the same time, but he DOES amass a nice collection of interesting and amusing deaths - like driving off the cliff with the groundhog. "He could still be alright..." [Truck explodes.] "Well, no, probably not now."
and then just going down my list of dvd's a few more not yet mentioned...
The Abyss: Lindsay's drowning
The Deep: Adam Coffer
Dragonslayer: Ulric
Ghostbusters: Mr. Staypuft
The Great Escape: the fifty
Highlander: The Kurgon
Jurassic Park: Donald Genarro (the laywer)
Man on Fire (the vastly superior remake with Denzel Washington): Creasy. That music will rip your heart out.
Monty Python & the Holy Grail: Keeper of the Bridge of Death
The Mummy: Benny
Mystery Men: Captain Amazing. "What do you mean WE? I was over here..."
Point Break: Bodi
Pulp Fiction: the guy who was hiding in the bathroom who tries to shoot Vincent and Jules. Vincent when he comes out of the bathroom.
Robocop: Dick Jones (Ronny Cox! - underappreciated character actor).
Sin City: Marv
Sorceror (1977, dir. Wm Friedkin, stars Roy Scheider): Corlette and Kassem
Total Recall: Cohagen (Ronny Cox again!)
Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf.

I'll have to nominate one character from a certain Disney Movie that was just released... I will not say who, but all I will say is that if you see that movie you will know who I'm talking about by the special effects involved in that scene.

Yes, the Boromir scene is good, but I think these two were better:
Buliwyf in "The 13th Warrior"
- Perfect ending to the last battle.
Magua in "The Last of the Mohicans" (1992)
- Felt good as Chingachgook cut him down.
Other favorites:
Rexor (played by Ben Davidson) in "Conan The Barbarian"
- Great end to the end of movie big fight scene.
Captain Decker in the "Doomsday Device", Star Trek TOS.
- He looked sufficiently freaked as he went down it's throat.
Archibald Cunningham (played by Tim Roth) in "Rob Roy"
- Love it when the bad guy snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.
Robert Neville (Charlton Heston) in "The Omega Man"
- Very Christ like in his sacrifice and death pose.
