Best Deaths in Movie history *will contain spoilers obviously*

[Soulforged]

I'll have to say the death of that anonymous fellow on the backseat during one of the scenes on Pulp Fiction for that great laughing death scene, it's unspected, shocking and terrible, but for the quality of the storytelling and the dialogue you just can't avoid the Quentin effect, I almost spill all my beverage on myself the first time I saw that.

For those greatly shocking death scenes I'll have to say the death of captain Rhodes on the underground of the safe facility while trying to escape the slaughter on Day of the Dead by Romero (correcting myself in another thread). Never has a death looked so real and nauseating on screen to the point in which you had to enjoy it or hate it, thanks to Tom Savini, at least in my opinion.

And finally for those great dramatic death scenes I'll have to choose, and it's a hard choice, the death of Coffey on The Green Mile by Frank Darabont based on a book by Stephen King. The character is great for suffering one of those deaths that can bring you to tears, the tragedy is elevated to monumental levels during his death. But images say more than words go see it for yourself.

I am sure there are better ones, but the death of Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) in Blade Runner is memorable:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. Time to die."

Oh yes that's one great scene. I think it could be the great philosophic death scene of all time, the movie tries to hard to bring some philosophic background in what could have been otherwise one of the best storytelling of all time, but only for a moment under the rain it achieves what it looks for, it's brief but powerful.
