Top 5 Movie Deaths (I'm going to hell for making this list)
I'm a busy bee at the moment working full time so I haven't had any time to watch any new films but don't worry I have about 30 on my computer backed up till the end of time. So since I haven't seen any new films I'll just have to re-hash and utilise the ones I've already seen by stating my top 5 movie deaths. Now this may be because of the creativity of the death or it could be due to the kick assery of the build up to the death. I'm just going to throw some out there, but this isn't the definitive list as there's probably a lot of cool deaths out there that I've forgotten, so message me with some you think I've forgotten, cushty.
5. Drew Barrymore's Death in Scream
This death scene was f***ing intense. Sure the phone has been used in a number of thrillers and horrors such as when a stranger calls but never, in my opinion, so effectively. The scene starts with Drew making some popcorn waiting for her boyfriend to come over to watch a movie when she receives a call from a stranger. Essentially this may be the best opening of a horror film ever as it combines a bit of gore (the boyfriend gets tied to a chair and gutted), tense-ness (a scary game of cat and mouse occurs) and tragedy (she almost gets to the safety of her parents but they can't hear her due to her being stabbed a lot). Essentially the death is never fully seen but when the camera zooms on her hung from a tree....brutal s***

4. The pigeon death in Final Destination 2
This is probably going to be the most ridiculous death on the list and whilst not the most brutal of the Final Destination series by any means, it is certainly the....would it be horrible to say funniest? Essentially if you don't know final destination you've lived under a rock for the past decade as they are flogging that dead horse and are now into a fifth film even though the fourth was "THE final destination". They all follow the same plot really, person has premonition, bunch of people avoid dying, death is like "b**** please", death finds ways for the environment to kill them such as the little gem I'm going to explain now. Unfortunately the death is a teenage boy which is always a bit of a nasty death in these films. As a rule if you kill someone under 16 who hasn't attempted to murder or rape anyone, you're making a risky move. Anyway, In this death the guy runs out and chases a few pigeons, these pigeons then fly up and hit a crane that's carrying a massive plane of glass. The crane then drops this glass and flattens the boy completely.

3. Defoe's death in Platoon
Probably going to be the most iconic death on the list, maybe just for the sure resilience and the heartbreaking-ness of Defoe's character's death. The baddie has shot Defoe and told the crew that he was killed by enemy forces, then when they are riding in the helicopter, they see Defoe sprinting away from enemy soldiers, gun in hand but finally gets taken down with one too many shots. He falls to his knees and falls into the iconic pose seen to the left that seems to say "why have you forsaken me God/Charlie Sheen"....deep

2. Boromir's Redemption
This gets a mention due the badassery of Boromir and hence Sean Bean. (Spoiler alert here) what is it with Sean Bean and always getting killed. I don't think I've seen a film with him in where he hasn't, LOTR, Equilibrium, Goldeneye, Game Of Thrones, Outlaws. Everything the man is in he dies and every time he dies I die a little inside because the man is so goddam awesome. Ironically in real life the man is impossible to kill, he was stabbed a few months ago shrugged it off and ordered another pint. Anyway Boromir's death. This was pretty epic because it was just after Boromir had been a "very naughty boy" and tried to steal Frodo's ring (seeing as Frodo looks like a child try watching the film as if his ring is his "ring" and it all gets a bit disturbing, I think I just killed off half my fanbase with that joke). He then pretty much sacrifices himself to save people, getting 3 arrows in the chest for his troubles. After every arrow though, the man falls, then gets up and continues to attack, just like in real life the dude can take some punishment and is a complete bad ass till the end. To be honest I think when Sean Bean dies in real life he'll die in a war taking about 100 bulleets and then ploughing on and beating the Tibetans singlehandedly (let's be honest, that Dalai Llama is just asking for a war)

1. Does He Look Like A Bitch?
So far on this list I've declared war on Tibet, turned the Lord of the Rings into a sexual romp and personified death as a gangsta rapper type figure. This is number one though, ya'll knew it was coming. The most badass of the badass. So badass in fact that he has a wallet that says badass motherf***er. So badass that he can turn a pretty tame bible quote into the most killer lines an assassin has ever said, so badass that he knows that the French call a burger a royale with cheese because of the metric system. The dude is badass lets just put it that way. Essentially the death isn't the main part in this death, it's all about the build up baby. He seems to be having a nice conversation with Brett, testing his burger "That IS one tasty burger", questioning his knowledge of the French McDonalds menu and having a swell old time. Things start taking a turn for the worse though when s*** starts getting serious. When words like b**** and f*** and "what" get thrown around and Jackson throws out some "mother f***ers" into the mix like only he can. If you haven't heard this legendary scene, it is probably the best dialogue in any film ever and it all builds up into this crushing crescendo of bible quotage (As Winnfield says later "because it sounds kinda badass") and then a ridiculous amount of shooting from the two hitmen. Sure you don't really see Brett's death but that doesn't matter, because this is the coolest death of all time. Wow that is a pretty morbid statement.
