It wouldn’t be too hard to make a list simply of great WTF? death scenes from “The Departed” and might even be necessary because though I loved Matt Damon’s end, Billy Costigan’s death might have been better — for pure shock factor, it’s unbeatable.

Fantastic list, but I admit I was disappointed not to see one of my favorites, White Heat, on the list. Cagney’s last moment (“Look Ma, top of the world!”) will always be amongst my favorite film moments.

Brad and Marc,

Yoda iiiiiiiiiiiiiiis good.

Napier,

Maybe Fight Club isn’t so far fetched. My husband suggested that same idea and I tossed around adding it for awhile.

Marc @ 19, thanks for acknowledging it. I personally think Legends Of The Fall is a wonderful movie. People just seemed to watch it for the sake of seeing Pitt in his long sparkly vampire hair.

Waay to many to comment on each – but:

34 – That pic just makes me laugh – I hear ‘WEEEEEEEEEEE’ in my head just looking at it…..

31 – Original = good. Special Edition = Crap.

25 – Only on the first viewing. Once you know that he’s brought back this just looses any impact with me.

24 – Damn right, would have top 10′d this one.

21 – Track suit justice bitch!

19 – The visual poetry of the ending saved this film for me.

17 – There is death *sad* and death *ha-ha*. This could be my #1 death ha-ha.

Real strong 10 – 1, but I’d throw Leon into #8 and drop doom.

Nice read.

Other scenes you are missing – The Wild Bunch final scene where they walk willingly into impending death to face the Mexican army. If you have not seen this movie you need too. This is a stretch but I would have included Fight Clubs final scene as well, because that is a death in a way.

Thanks Karl. I have to admit that I somehow just forgot about Hans Grubers plummet to his death. It is such a great scene. You are definitely right about that.

I heart RoboCop, and everytime I watch it the shock of Red Foreman being such a wicked dude is crazy. He’s a really great bad guy though.

Thanks for visiting the site!
