What death scenes in films are amongst your favourites for whatever reason, be it dramatic, emotional, or even comical?

For a Trekkie like me, I don't think anything will hurt as much as this!

What character entrances in films are absolutely iconic, either through the visual perfection of the moment, or the impact of showing the character's nature perfectly.
