I like movies. Usually in a theatrical and unrealistic fashion, someone dies. I feel these (as in for me) are the best on-screen deaths in movies. These aren't in a particular order. I left out Robocop because I can't be bothered typing anymore but just imagine Murphy being shot and that guy blowing up like a melon when the car hits him is 6.

1. Star Trek (2009)

First of all, I do not like this movie. It is better than most of the TNG movies and some of the OS movies. However as a startrek movie, I feel it is very poor. More interested in appealing to dude bro's than people who like sci-fi. I like the scene when Nero dies because unlike other villains who run around acting petty shouting and acting like fools, he sits and dies with honor knowing his fate. The black hole thing scene is very well done and regardless of the movie being weak as a whole, I like this scene, it also has probably the best startrek soundtrack out of all the movies. That JJ person still sucks though.

2. Total Recall

I like this scene because of the one liner in regards to our hero having his memory wiped and working for the bad guys. Aside from that, he holds onto his torn off arms for an extended period of time before saying the one liner. Why? Comedy timing. If he had simply dropped the arms rather than hold off to throw them down specifically aimed at his dead corpse, the line would be less effective. This is an excellent movie with many excellent death or explicitly violent scenes. Another great scene is when Arnold stabs a fellow in the eye with part of the chair he was strapped too.

3. Kagemusha

This is very deep and meaningful. The story is about a thief who looks very much like a clan leader. He reluctantly takes his place to give the illusion he is still alive. As he takes his place he eventually starts to understand the clan values "a mountain does not move" and starts to actually become the person he is intimidating. When he is revealed as a fake, he is dimissed. The new rulers betray his former clan leaders values and attack rather than sit still. They are destroyed by guns. The last scene is kagemusha "the shadow warrior" running though the dead bodies making a futile charge to die with his adopted clan. The very very last shot is him stumbling towards the sea seeing the clan flag submerged and floating away. As he reaches out, he falls over dead. Both he and the clan destroyed. Overall this is a clever movie designed for sophisticated minds.

4. Blade Runner

I like this movie because it is also clever. No one is really bad in this movie. Rutger Hauers character is not bad. The supposed bad guy is simply trying to comprehend and cope with death. In the end, the only thing he can do is pass on his experience. To which he does so to the very person hunting him in a very beautiful moment in an otherwise boring movie.

5. Commando

This is the most fun movie ever made. The bad guy is a chubby man who is so campy it hurts. The final battle like total recall involves a one liner "let off some steam bennett". Many, many people in this movie die. In once scene Arnold walks along with a machine gun and no shirt on with a small 2 foot high hedge shooting down a dozen men while they all miss him. The directors cut is the best version, alot of scenes got cut out at the time because they could currupt young adult minds. Now we are in this age, you can pick up the directors cut but for some reason the cencored version is still being sold.
