Dr. Who has some interesting 'deaths' before his regenerations.

Good one too, but I wonder how many people will recognize that movie.

hehehehe, when started to read this topic, my mind started to think on this!
But next, remembered Brando in the Last Tango in Paris. This is my favorite.

The best Doctor Who death was when Doctor #4 (Tom Baker) fell off the radio telescope while fighting the Master. That was a very sad episode.

Re: [OT] The best ever death...
Some good deaths in The Seven Samurai, specifically the duelist, and also Toshiro Mifune's character.
as far as horrible deaths that made for great movie pathos, see Galipoli.
and for heroic ways to go, how about Michael Garibaldi in the alternate-future where he dies defending the station against invaders?
and how about that guy in point break that dies surfing in the storm.

Re: [OT] The best ever death...
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Spock in "Wrath of Khan" or Tasha Yar in "Yesterday's Enterprise." Those are very good scenes. But, typical of Trek, they weren't really final, were they?

Re: [OT] The best ever death...
Every time the cursed prince in “Princess Mononoke” decapitates a samurai on horseback with an arrow and the other samurai are like “WTF?" . My wife and laughed so hard the first time we saw that we had tears running down our faces.
