Tricky one this. Any takers?

Tricky one this. Any takers?

Or undertakers.

Cliffhanger right at the beginning... I never felt so nervous watching a film in my life probably not the best, but I didn't think she'd fall

(my morbid fear is of falling to my death, which probably adds to that)

Tony Montana in Scarface

Old Man from Scene 24 - MOnthy Python and the Quest for he Holy Grail

Kurtz in Apocalypse Now

Quint in Jaws I

Has to be Arnie's thumbs up farewell in Terminator 2!

Also a whole host from Bruce Lee films but too many to mention!

Goose in Top Gun

I really enjoyed the the five-point-palm-exploding-heart technique at the end of Kill Bill.

Boromir in the Lord of the Rings.

Does Dennis Hopper being shot in True romance count? I love that scene.

Sonny in the Godfather

McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Bambi's mother.

Daniel Dravot (Sean Connery) in The Man Who Would Be King. Great way to go - off a rope bridge to be crushed on the rocks below, and then have your head removed by your mate and have it taken back to civilization

I did a quick search on Youtube and came up with these:

Bambi's mother.

The best death scene hasn't been filmed yet but it's the one where geezer gets Brian M and Jose's Melons in a room and smacks their heads together

Pulp Fiction - back of the car

Was quite happy to take our petty badinage to a non-football forum but now I find you want to bash our heads in here to. Bit harsh I think!

THE DEER HUNTER!

I suppose it depends on the criteria.

Best Gore Death? Hard to beat the lawn mower massacre in Braindead.

Best Poetic Death? Gustav von Aschenbach slowly fading out with make-up running down his face in Death In Venice.

Best Tear Jerking Death? Have to agree with Enrico here, Bambi's mother.

Best Gratuitous Death? Any of the death in films by Alex Chandon such as Bad Karma, Chainsaw Scumf**k, Drillbit and Cradle of Fear.

Surely, Peter Seller's indian trumpeter at the beginning of The Party.

Best Gore Death? Hard to beat the lawn mower massacre in Braindead.

Oh yes. Oh yes, yes, yes.

I think merely because of the speech that he gives right beore he dies, and the epic chase that took place before hand, one of the best is when Rutger Hauer's character in Bladrunner dies.

The big fella when he finally goes to teh chair in the Green Mile.

Slim pickin's death in Dr Strangelove....riding an A bomb to the heart of Russia....class

And Pile's suicide in Full Metal Jacket, and also, in the same movie, the snniper asking to be shot after praying...that is touching!

So many good ones in Arnie films but I'll go for these two classics:

See you at the party, Richter

Hans Gruber from Die Hard, when he falls from the building. Looks every bit as good today as it did 20 years ago.

An updated version of Alfred Hitchcock's classic shot from SABOTEUR. The shot looks terribly realistic. The camera does a slight tilt-down as Alan Rickman slowly falls from the top of the skyscraper. In reality, Rickman performed the stunt against a blue air pillow, 20 feet from the ground. His footage was then perfectly composited into live-action footage shot at the Century City Building in Los Angeles. The final composite is crisp and realistic... possibly one of the finest, longest optical bluescreen composites in history.

That is indeed a classic. Have you seen the new Die Hard film yet?
