There has been many great death scenes over the years in movies. But one I really loved is when CAPTAIN KIRK[WILLIAM SHATNER] dies and in quiet cool fashion says OH MY.HAVE A FAVORITE?
The film was not much, but I loved the death scene- BLOOD OF DRACULA'S CASTLE-69-The evil hunchback gets a large pitchfork in his back and as he is struggling, he then gets set on fire in which he falls off a cliff.
(1) Favorite unexpected death scene: Ivan Putin's demise in Hunt For Red October. (2) Most beautiful death scene: Deckard's transformation with V'ger in STTMP. (I guess it's questionable if that was a death scene)
These are the worst kinds of death scenes. What I mean is, characters dieing with their eyes open and pausing between spoken lines. I thought he was dead twice before he actually died. Still it was one of the best scenes in the trilogy largely helped by Shores score. (In retrospect maybe it's just another example of Jackson not knowing when enough is enough. )

I don't know about "worst" in the cinematic sense, but they sure as hell are effective. I think Bernard Hill played it just beautifully. Actually, I guess it would be more correct to say "underplayed". Maybe that's why it worked so well. And I agree, the underscore beneath it was just amazing too.
In Vanishing Point, Barry Newman drove his car at high speed into a roadblock set up by the police to stop him. The car crashed into two bulldozers and went up in flames.
In OHMSS, newlywed Diana Rigg was shot by Blofeld's assistant Irma as the couple drove away in Bond's Aston Martin after their wedding.
