In last nights Angel Fred's last moments were the best death scene I have ever scene in television or for that matter the movies as well. Just her last words sealed it for me.

"Why can't I stay?"

That is my new favorite line from buffy and/or angel and/or firefly.

Feel free to disagree, but that was freaking awesome.

You know you only have to scare him...

Pain is scary.

Um... It might be a good idea if you spoiler-ized this for folks who didn't want to know what happened until they saw it...

It took so long I thought he just died of old age at the end. I'd have to say that Leon in The Professional (Jean Reno) has the best death scene.

Just for the shear what-the-hell-why-not factor I'd have to go with Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove. Now there's a man who embraced his death.

I shaved off my beard for you, devil woman!

Totally agree with you. Sean Bean does an awesome job with the whole death scene. We can see the change in his character thoroughly - from possessed by the ring, to realizing the ring was calling to him, to him giving his life for Merry and Pippin - very awesome sequence.

Well, you could have had a warning about this being a spoiler. Now I know that Fred is dead...fantasic.....

Mmmmmm, Sean Bean in ANYTHING.

I just bought my spouse all 14 Sharpe movies. I'll watch Sean Bean read the phone book. *thud*

While we're on the subject - the undisputed *worst* death scene ever was Trinity in Revolutions. Just when you think she's dead, "Oh, and Neo - remember what I said...in my...other death scene...you don't?...I'll...tell you...again..."
Man, was that awful. Terrible, terrible movie.

As much as I feel no one is going to agree with this, I think the best death scene was In Dungeonsa nd Dragons when they killed snails.

IT wasnt long and drawn out.

It wasnt corny.
They killed snails like people die in war, one moment hes there and the next hes not, and Ridly was so close, he wished he could have done somthin... he was just feet away.

my 2 cents

People only beleive somehting if it's in a movie

I agree! She cant be dead!!!! She just cant!!!! I will go to Joss Whedon's house and hurt him if he kills Fred!!!!

She is one of my favorite characters!!! She cant die!!!

Anyway, that would kinda be sexist because she is the only girl left so it would be a all boy group.

BUT SHE IS NOT DEAD!!!

Oh God, are you serious? Man, I rented that movie with some friends many years ago - we were real bored - and it was truly one of the FUNNIEST MOVIES EVER!! ...but only because we were cracking on it the whole time. Terrible film!

Damn, was that a bad movie.

Hey, how about "Best Almost Death Scene"? I'd have to say that the scene in 3/17 of Angel when Angel snaps like a rubber band on Wesley for taking Conner and tries to smother him in his hospital bed. Nowhere in the history of Angel before or since, even as Angelus, has he just lost it like that. I had to watch it several more times to absorb it, foaming mouth and all.

My favourite "death scene" is Dobson in Serenity.

On that note...

Honorable mention to Brad Dourif, as Mentat Piter DeVries, from Dune (the original issue).

GAH, THUD!

That was GREAT!, an all time favorite.

Okay, I'm going to totally geek out here and say that the best death scene goes to Leonard Nemoy in "The Wrath of Khan", as thousands of devoted fans went numb with the shock that Spock had died. Even though they did bring him back, it still kills me to watch.

"You will always be . . . my friend. Live long . . . and prosper."

Yes, I'm a geek, and yes, you can disagree, but I was silent for five minutes and then burst into tears after that one.

I really liked that scene too...you almost dont see it coming. And i think i probably would have done it the same too.

Guys, guys, guys.... come on now!

Roy Baty's death in "Blade Runner" is the best death scene ever. Being as we're (mostly) all SciFi geeks I can't believe everybody missed that one!

Actually there are several good death scenes in that movie... Of course it's probably the best SciFi movie that's ever been made.

(Just my personal opinion. ;)

Oh, that is a great one. Although it didn't emotionally drain me, he definitely gets greatest death monologue, hands down. Especially considering that Rutger Hauer wrote it himself. Nice.

Select to view spoiler:

A little consideration for people who haven't seen that episode yet would have gone a very long way. Intelligent use of the "spoiler" option (especially after people have suggested you use it) might have been the decent thing to do. Guess you missed that one too.

Having said that all, I would probably have agreed with you after seeing it, if I hadn't already known it was going to happen!!!!

(I can't believe I forgot that one! I must say I rather enjoyed Angel's death in Becoming, part two.

Well, the best death scene EVER is no contest, though. Definatly Mel Gibson as William Wallace in 'Braveheart' gets this award.

I thought the death of Alex Krychek on "The X-Files" was probably the worst death scene I've ever seen. I still have no idea what he was talking about. I'm not sure what the best was, although the death of Darla on "Angel" is up there.

There's a couple that I like.

Bruce Willis in "Armageddon"

Donald Sutherland in "Space Cowboys"

And of course, Tracy's death scene in "The Message" chokes me up every time.

I mean that.

The greatest death scene ever -- outside of Kirt Douglas as Spartacus is...

Paul Reubans (Pee Wee Herman) in the movie version of Buffy. Ohhhh my god, that was funny.
