Sauron. I love the look of fear in the eye as the tower begins to crumble.

Because his death scene is not an actual death scene (although it is set up so dramatically, and that's the fine twist). Symbolically: After all the persecutions against his people, and all the sufferings they had to endure, their culture was supposed to disappear. Realistically, you know that Old Lodge Skins will have to die (likely sooner than later) simply of old age, of course. But you come to understand that this is not the end of the story, because the spirit of his people will persist. A perfect ending for the movie, both sad and hopeful, leaving you with many thoughts and questions.

2021-12-02 07:49:15 +0000 UTCLeia strangling Jabba the Hutt with very the chain that he used to imprison her is awesome every time I watch Return of the Jedi. Even if you don’t know the lore, you understand how disgusting the character is and that he’s the Galaxy’s most feared gangster, so seeing him get taken out in a really violent way consistently puts a smile on my face. The scene is also cleverly edited, cutting between his thrashing fat tail and the panic in his eyes, so they really get their money’s worth out of that puppet.

2021-12-02 07:48:05 +0000 UTCRutger Hauer in Blade Runner. Not only is his final scene a neat reversal on the conventional climactic showdown, it also contains a great, hauntingly poetic monologue on mortality as he laments how all his memories will disappear after his life ends. When he slumps over in death, we realize—along with Harrison Ford’s Deckard—that, despite all the mayhem he caused, he was more than just a villain. All he wanted to do was live, to have the time to take in and experience all that life had to offer, something that the human populace of that gloomy, deadened future world take for granted. It’s the best moment of the film, and one that sums up its themes.

2021-12-02 06:53:49 +0000 UTCLooking back at The Lion King, Scar's death is beautifully ironic. When he becomes king, he lets Pride Rock fall into famine to the point where his own hyena followers question his leadership. Then after Simba confronts him at the end and he cowardly lies about the hyenas being the real enemy, he begs for his life after his betrayal to a hungry lot who realize they finally have something to eat. Even the fire makes sure that he's well done.

One of the biggest crowd-pleasing moments I've ever experienced. Not to mention, the awful deaths of children that happens in the film, makes that man's death the most satisfying experience.

2021-12-02 03:38:14 +0000 UTCThe most satisfying, yet twisted death scene to me would have to be the antagonist in 'I Saw the Devil.' All the tension and circumstances throughout the film has you on the edge of your seat until the final moments.

2021-12-02 03:32:41 +0000 UTC*SPOILERS FOR UNCUT GEMS* Howard in Uncut Gems felt like the most earned character death I've seen in any recent movie. He's a character that treads the line between insufferable but also deeply fascinating to watch. You want to see how far he can push things but also know his fate is a foregone conclusion. So when that final bullet does come and unravels his fucked up world, there's this overwhelming feeling of "Thank god It's finally over," and you're able to breathe a sigh of relief.
