Lost your favourites.
Scarface is an obvious choice. But my personal favourite is Boromir's in the fellowship of the ring. The refusal to surrender and give up is so explicit, it's touching and harrowing.
yeah.

laurence fishburne in king of new york: he moves like a cockroach stuck to the ground
nearly all of the second half of meet the feebles.
elephant/kneecaps and borox/cocaine deaths are possibly the favourites.
carilto's way- pacino
connery in the untouchables. overdrawn, unrealistic, but to i pagliacci, for fucks!
and gasping out his final exhortation to keep up the fight to costner in the only role where being a wooden, boring, characterless actor was actually perfect for the role.
Brad Pitt in the Devil's Own
Everybody in Death Wish 3.

All the bad dudes at the end of the third Indiana Jones movie, when they melt.

Total Recall was the first thing I thought of here.
Sully in Commando is a great one.
Jesse Ventura in Predator.
Dynamo in Running Man.
Every frame of Robocop.
the couple Ray Liotta's buddies waste in their car to Allman's epic slide guitar in the Layla outro in Goodfellas.
yeah, ok it's getting tired (Scorsese's wasting people to classic rock) but that was the zenith for me.
friday the 13th (5 i think), where jason picks somebody up in their sleeping bag and whacks 'em against the tree.
Helen Hunt in Team America
He doesn't die, but the scene in Return of the King (LOTR) where Frodo gets pinged by the flaming evil eye and falls down is the most hilariously wussy collapse scene in history.

He really loved her. :(
Oh, oh, oh....Clare Dane's death in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet.
Holy crap. That fucked me up good and proper.

The eye-poking scene in 28 Days Later.
I’m with Pandad. Car crash half way through Death Proof. 5 different angles of carnage. Has to be up there.
you never see them die, it's implied.
''Death scenes'' not ''on screen deaths''
urgh, makes me cringe just thinking about it.
Michael Caine in Get Carter. So unexpected...
Christ Delgado, that scene fucked me up. Though I did remind and watch Murphies death scene over and over again, not because I found it funny, I was just morbidly fascinated with the naked brutality of it.
The whole world in On The Beach
what a great film!
HEB is see your Midge and raise you a Mr Percival.
I was just bawling at his death the other day - god bless the $5 dvd bargain bin.

Also Luca Brasi in the Godfather. Vito Corleone and the orange peel. Don Ciccio in Godfather II ''my father's name was Antonio Andolini, and this is for you...'' etc. Too many to list!!!!
Macaulay Culkin in My Girl.
He was going to be an acrobat...
I cried and cried when I saw this as a teenager.

the classiest death scene is probably the end of Breathless
Did anyone say that dude at the end of Gallipoli?
That dude at the end of Gallipoli.

I’m with Pandad. Car crash half way through Death Proof. 5 different angles of carnage. Has to be up there.
