    Bennett in Commando being killed via pipe and then being asked to "Let off some steam" by Arnie always stands out as a good way to go!

    Also in the Running Man, Buzzsaw getting chain sawed in half by Arnie too stands out, especially when he is asked by the girl what happened, he responded by telling her "Buzzsaw had to split" :-)

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    If you want a kick in the feels, try watching this. It's been mentioned already but it's worth a second mention.

    It's from the kids film 'UP'.

    Macauley Culkin getting stung to death in MyGirl...

    Only saw it once but this has stuck in mind for over 20 years as the most powerful death I have witnessed in film.

    Don't come into a thread about deaths in movies complaining about spoilers.

    By the way Jesus dies in The Passion, but not really.

    Considering all the movies so far have been old I don't think it's much to ask that something still in theatres gets spoiler tags? They're there for a reason, why not use them?

    I know its my fourth time but for dramatic deaths how could we forget Tadgh's in the Field. Edit; sorry about loud soundtrack had sound off, when I switched it on got a bit of a jump.

    Mufasa in the Lion King....serious punch in the feels there. I think an entire generation were traumatized by it!

    Also Bambi's Mother.

    How old is old? There's a few classic movies mentioned already that I hadn't seen that have been "ruined" by listing a death from it. It's that type of thread.

    Looks like I'm wrong on this one. ALOT of folk hadn't seen that movie.

    Sergeant Hartmann and Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket - a man who pushed too hard and the man who couldn't be pushed anymore, D'Onofrio is simply excellent in this scene even though he doesn't speak

    When it's still in the cinema it needs a feckin spoiler tag. End of story.

    The scene from bad taste, where Derek falls from a height with a chainsaw and cuts the alien in half emerging from its crotch, only for Derek to state "I've been reborn!"

    Non movie but the deaths of Curtis and Shane in The Shield left me absolutely floored, Shane in particular.

    One of my movie favourites is the exploding head scene in Scanners.

    giphy.gif

    One of the most poignant movie deaths was Brundlefly in Cronenbergs remake of The Fly.

    Geena Davis can't bring herself to do it but Brundle pulls the barrel of the shotgun back to his head. Massively moving considering it was a grotesque animatronic monster.

    For pure air punching, take that ye bastards carnage, nothing surpasses the heavy artillery scene from the most recent Rambo movie.

    Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom in ConAir, a completely OTT death to match a completely OTT character

    Special mention for "Why couldn't you put the bunny back in the box?" - the death was fairly standard but that line made it memorable

    Speaking of boxes, the two deaths at the end of Se7en.
