MMMMMM...CHOCOLATE SYRUP AND CASABA MELON: Janet Leigh's death in the shower in "Psycho" (which was so viscerally created using the previously mentioned foodstuffs) has been named the best film death of all time by the British magazine Total Film. The entire list isn't available, but rounding out the top five are: 2. Slim Pickens riding the bomb in "Dr Strangelove"; 3. King Kong taking a great fall in "King Kong"; 4. Alan Rickman plunging to the pavement in "Die Hard"; and 5. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway being riddled with bullets in "Bonnie and Clyde." Also on the list are the deaths of Bambi's Mom, the Wicked Witch of the West, John Hurt having the ultimate upset stomach in "Alien," the corny death in "Witness," and scenes from "The Omen," "The Godfather," and "Reservoir Dogs."
So what is your favorite overlooked movie death scene? The first one that comes to mind for me is Wallace Shawn in "The Princess Bride." Let's hear from you in the comments.
