Movie deaths are an integral part of the filmmaker's arsenal. Can you imagine how dull flicks would be without the occasional fatality, assassination or cheeky moider?

I can't believe we left Paul Allen's death from American Psycho out. Huey Lewis diatribe followed by grisly axe murder - awesome.

"HEY PAUL?!"
*thwack*

I'd offer up John Doe from Se7en as well, calmly and happily goading Benjamin Button until he snaps.

What no death of Optimus Prime from Transformers: The Movie? Never before or since has the death of a toy truck been so sad and shocking.
YOU GOT THE TOUCH!

Actually i take it back...Starscreams death is better...bastard finally got what was comming to him.

That Megalodon film makes me giggle like a little child. It's so utterly and wholely ridiculous. The bit where the guy jumps overboard straight into it's megalo-gob is like a little incidental from The Simpsons.

Can't believe the Kevin Bacon one from Friday the 13th was number 41?! Gotta be top 10 at least!

...and let us not forget the best death of all... the death of the bald geezer tipped down the chimney in For Your Eyes Only.

Or, off the top of my head, Dennis Hopper in "True Romance".

@ Goatboy.

Aye, it's a strange movie that one. A horror film filmed mostly in the daytime, and you have dead monsters ejaculating on the female leads, a midget Mexican wresting team (and one of them flying) and one of the monsters shagging a cat. It's odd. Not brilliant, but certainly different.

I'd go for Jack's death in American Werewolf in London amongst others, "Here we are walking away...nice doggy, nice doggy" etc.
And that #42 was the strangest thing I've ever seen

The clip for 42 is something. I've not worked out whether i was supposed to laugh at it yet.

I know these things are subjective, but I can't for the life of me work out why the defibrillator scene from "The Thing" hasn't made this list, it's a classic scene full stop, never mind *just* a movie death.
