Favorite Death Scene?
I'm gonna throw this one thread out there and see who goes for it. My Daughter & son-in-law are in town today, and we're gonna hang out. Later on, we're going to an open jam-- did I mention that my SiL is an ass-kickin' guitarist? I figure if Robert Plant can perform with his son-in-law, so can I! 
So, let's hear it-- What's your favorite movie or TV death scene? One that maybe even brought you to tears, or made you angry, or whatever.
Mine is Leonard Nimoy's death scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. It's hokey as hell, I know, and cornier than an Iowa farm, and William Shatner....well, he's William Shatner, ok? There's no help for him at this late date. But I thought Nimoy did it well, and I liked the way the writers 'snuck up' on the moviegoer with it. I especially like the bit of business where he struggles to his feet, then straightens his uniform before turning to face his captain and friend for the last time.
Okay, DUers-- Give!

Another vote for Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner. I did not know that he improvised that scene. From the original script:
I've known adventures, seen places you people will never see, I've been Offworld and back... frontiers! I've stood on the back deck of a blinker bound for the Plutition Camps with sweat in my eyes watching the stars fight on the shoulder of Orion...I've felt wind in my hair, riding test boats off the black galaxies and seen an attack fleet burn like a match and disappear. I've seen it, felt it...!
Hauer described this as "opera talk" and "hi-tech speech" with no bearing on the rest of the film, so he "put a knife in it" the night before filming, without Scott's knowledge. In interview with Dan Jolin, Hauer said that these final lines showed that Batty wanted to "make his mark on existence ... the robot in the final scene, by dying, shows Deckard what a real man is made of."
When Hauer performed the scene, the film crew applauded and some even cried.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. [pause] Time to die.
