Best Movie Deaths EVER
MAXIM Online posted the 10 best movie deaths ever this week in honor of halloween - with video clip goodness...
http://www.maximonline.com/slideshow...or.aspx?film=8
I think personally that the chainsaw to the head in Evil Dead 2 should have been #1, but their pick is also quite good.

Hmm...I always liked the death in silent hill where that one girl gets her skin ripped off by pyramid head.

Even though the movie wasn't that great as a whole, I really loved the mass decapitation scene in the beginning of Ghost Ship. It was brilliant!

Also, the death scene in the Masters of Horror episode 'The Damned Thing' where the guy kills himself by repeatedly hitting himself in the head and face with a hammer was incredible...it actually made me flinch.

Oh yes. I am not a fan of movies that make it their soul goal to disgust and shock the watcher, but this scene really was chilling....and, well, beautiful in its own way. It kind of brought you back to reality, very ubruptly and making you think....or me at least.
But, indeed, the rest of the film was bullshit. Really.

Did they really have to go and kill everyone? Couldn't they just take the cash or whatever it was?

{sarcasm} Cradle, of course they had to kill everyone. Mass murder scenes are what horror films are all about. Gosh. {/sarcasm} Seriously though, I don't know why they had to kill everyone to steal the gold, but it did make for a pretty awesome scene.

Um...I'm quite squeamish. It took me two tries to watch The Mummy when I was 13-14. I cried during Gothika, Darkness Falls, Ring, Ring Two, Cabin Fever. I was just sitting there, shaking, eyes wide, during all of those. -.- I hate my imagination. I still have trouble with the dark left over when I was little. A punishment was if I was bad, my door would be closed with the lights off at which I would go hysterical, screaming for a light or my door open, begging. But, for scariest movie death ever, I would say from Saw, *graphic bf who wants to torment me told me of these* the guy who cheats on his wife and has to cut off a limb to save his family. Emotional issues, plus the pain=more scary.

Jeez, how traumatic. I would have died, I've always had issues with the dark. If i'm outside and it's dark out, I don't mind, it's natural. But if I'm inside, it scares the crap out of me. Oddly enough, I love horror films, but I just love the thrill of it all. The blood doesn't worry me, in fact I want to be a medical examiner when I grow up. And I know it's all fake; I'm pretty good at reading facial expressions, so I can tell easily enough that it's completely an act, although the concept of some things still freaks me out a bit, just like it would scare anyone else. I don't know why I can stand horror films but not the dark, I don't get it.

Horror films kill me, because I don't know. >.< I'm personally fine with with blood and horror in books along with the little blood in real life I've seen, but horror just scares the SHIT out of me. And night time dark isn't so bad, until your boyfriend brings up on halloween night when you're in a dark part of the street by the park where everything is open and says "Darkness Falls"

Haha, nice boyfriend right there. Although I'm sure he wasn't intending on being mean. Reminds me of myself a bit... I was at the mall with my friends who were shopping for homecoming dresses (even though none of them would ever dress like I do, they all come to be for fashion advice. I guess they figure that if the weird kid says your outfit sucks then it really must be true?), and we all went in the ginormous handicapped stall in the dressing room (seriously, it was twice as big as the normal handicapped ones are) and there was a large ceiling tile missing. You could see some electrical wires, and it was dark up there, and one of my friends was a bit afraid of it after the rest of us were joking about dead people falling out on top of us. So I used what I like to call my "die voice" (really raspy, kind of guttural, sounds ike something you'd hear in a horror film) to say "There's a dead man in the ceiling, and he's coming to get you!" I thought it was funny, but she didn't agree so much. Heh.

Jillian complained about you going off-topic? Hm. Well, ok, I guess going off on a random tangent is pretty annoying in a public thread, when no one else is posting at the moment.
So, on topic! I think they should have included the part from Friday the 13th Part II at the very end. When they hear a noise a tthe door and they're like "Oh-em-eff-gee it must be Jason coming back to kill us after-all!" and it turns out to be the dog, Muffin. "Oh, Muffin! You've come home, Muffin!" At which point Jason bursts through the window behind them and slaughters 'em.

I'll contribute a bit more to the off-topicness...
That is exactly the case with me and my friends...they never agree with me but still need my advice every time...in everything, not only fashion.

Yeah, I've always been the one they go to for any sort of advice. I'm always thinking, "You never care about my opinion, but now you're asking for it?"

It was fun while it lasted, and hey, I've been better! And now you have a taste of why people say I need drugs. Puppy puppy fritter.

Ah, so it wasn't for going off topic so much as for having a private conversation on a public board. I got it, I was thinking "I never knew Jillian to yell about straying off topic a bit..."

-dragging the thread back on topic-
The best movie death ever as far as I'm concerned was Paris Hilton's death in House Of Wax. For the simple reason that it was Paris Hilton's death.

Haha, I thought of that one myself. I kind of liked the whole video-taping the pole through the head deal. And as much as I hate to say that I dislike someone without having personally met them or talked to them, you're right that the fact that she died was what made it great. Not because she's Paris Hilton though, that's not my reasoning. My reasoning is because she can't act and it was stinking up the film so freaking much.

Did anyone ever see Nurse Betty? There's a guy that gets completely scalped by one of the main bad guys at the beginning of the movie...pretty gruesome, but he totally deserved it.

Best movie death.....
I would have to say when the guy in the film "High Tension" was sawed from the face down in his car by a giant circular saw..

Also, in the same movie:
When a guy got his head stuck in a stairway, then the killer pushed a table into it until he was completely decapitated.

Wrong!
These are the best movie deaths:
1) The beginning of citizen Kane
2) The knowledge that Christine died in the Phantom of the Opera
3) Vincent Price's death on Edward Scissorhands
4) Satine in Moulin Rouge
5) Peter's ironic death by a cop in Crash

I mustn't forget the emotional deaths, they tend to hang around longer.
I have to agree with you, Satine's death in Moulin Rouge was pretty heart wrenching.
Another great death was William Wallace's death in Braveheart.

The death scene I remember most is from Fright Night, where that werewolf gets impaled, and he slowly transforms back into a kid...it's such a long and gruesome scene...
