HAL killing those astronauts was just like him deleting a corrupt file. Erasing a life to him was no different to erasing a line of code. I would say that Cypher pulling the jacks from those still plugged into the matrix was far more cold blooded.

It felt like they gave Vader the satisfying redemption arc where the movie wanted you to cheer for his shift to the good side and him going out in style and saying his goodbyes to his son Luke is what gives a warm feeling to my heart and you have to give the filmmakers credit to cheer for the character who's supposed to be menacing, cold-hearted, ruthless, calculative and intimidating. That just tells you how iconic Darth Vader is.

I would say the deaths of the hippies in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood kind of did the same thing as Death Proof but in a much more effective way. Stuntman Mike's death feels anticlimactic, more of a joke than anything else. The Hollywood flamethrower death has that anticlimactic/comedy feel as well, but Tarantino really lends it some gravitas because of the real-life Tate killings, and we do feel a sense of catharsis watching these stupid but dangerous psychos meeting their comeuppance. But for me the best death scene in a Tarantino film is Bill's death in Kill Bill. Yes, I'd have rather seen him maybe fall to his knees before keeling over rather than balancing on one leg in a somewhat cartoonish fashion. But everything leading up to that moment is incredible. We see The Bride at her most purposefully justice-driven and Bill at his most roguishley charming, but also jealously vindictive. Its a powerful confrontation. And when Bill sputters, "You're not a bad person. You're a terrific person. You're my favorite person, but every once in a while, you can be a real c*nt," we can't help but finally understand his point of view, and even love him a bit. The moment of understanding they share before he dies ("you look ready") gives me chills everytime. I'd fix the cheesy way he falls to the ground, but it's perfection otherwise. PS: I think the secret of that film is that the entire first volume is artifice. Its basically a comic book movie. Much like Audition, the second movie begins to subtly interweave more human elements into the story. We see the Bride in her wedding rehearsal, we see Budd's sad life, we witness a hitwoman sent to kill Beatrix discover she's pregnant. Eventually, surface and depth collide with Bill's Superman monologue, and we realize he isn't just talking about Beatrix Kiddo colliding with The Bride...he's talking about the two sides of the movie colliding with each other. Not a perfect film, not his best film, but his most experimental by far and man I love it.

I think one of the most satisfying movie deaths is that of the crime boss in John Woo's "The Killer," SPOILERS: It is at the hands of Danny Lee's character who throws his life and career away to make sure the crime boss doesn't get away with it in light of what came before. It is so satisfying because of the two very emotional deaths that came right before - Chow Yun Fat's character putting his best friend, who betrayed him and redeemed himself by getting beaten up to the point of death by the gangsters, followed by the death of Chow Yun Fat's character who not only gets his eyes shot out (the eyes he wanted to donate to Sally Yeh's charcter) but also cannot even die in her arms because they are now both blind and crawl past each other. I still cry.

First time he’s a dad (Matilde). His relationships with women are no longer superficial. First time he asked for forgiveness from someone he loved (Vesper Lynd). First time he genuinely professes his love {Madeleine Swann}. First time he has respectful working relationships [Moneypenny, Nomi and Paloma. No longer viewing women in 007 films merely as sex objects. When he realized that the nanites inside him could not be remove. He could never come close to his love interest or his daughter. Death is a fitting end. Also, saving the world was a cherry on the cake!

Everyone would say Henry Fonda's Frank in Once Upon A Time in the West is the far superior death and it's hard to disagree. Stomper's in Death Wish 2 should get an honourable mention especially with the delivery of Bronson's lines "Do you believe in Jesus? Well, you're gonna meet him.." Scorpion in Dirty Harry is also a great death with great dialogue associated before the death. Speaking of Scorpion, his role in Hellraiser as Frank Cotton's brother is one of the most iconic deaths with his "Jesus wept.." line. And I think Marv from Sin City is a great death just due to how badass he goes out. I should shut this down now. My list is getting out of hand.

There was a reason the KKK rose to power and BoaN has the sorry task of illustrating why.
