Probably one from the movie 'Men Behind the Sun'.
Not a film but Chef's death scene in Return Of The Chef was good.
Tony Montana, completely over the top 'say hello to my little friend' 
Gladiator
American Beauty
American History X
The end of Godfather
Few good death scenes over the Kill Bill movies

One of my favs out of many is Bruce Willis in Armageddon
Doc Holliday v. Johnny Ringo duel in Tombstone
The Godfather
That bird from Munich.
Gets her baps out. Fair play to her.

And this is not just a death scene, but probably one of my favourite sene in any film...

Death of Mozart in Amadeus is brilliant.
That Platoon one's pretty iconic
Love and Death - the death of the herring merchant married to Diane Keaton. She goes, "In retrospect, I might have been kinder to you. Made love to your more often. Or once, even." He says, "Once would have been nice," and kicks the bucket.
Not a film, but Caesar's murder in Rome was brilliant.
That rabbit getting stuck in the trap in Watership Down used to tear me apart as a kid

The death of Fredo in The Godfather. Not for the scene itself but for the impact it has on the trilogy.. Cracking movies.
The curb-stomping in American History X is pretty powerful, Joe pesci in casino and the suicide in mull metal jacket are great as well
The death of Bonnie and Clyde...the little look that passes between them as they both realise they are about to go down in a hail of bullets...pure fecking cinema.
Tom Hanks death in Saving Private Ryan comes to mind. I also always remember the guy who got knifed.
Bugs Bunny in "What Opera Doc?"
It's disturbing seeing a lovable cartoon character die.
Failing that, then Al Pacino in Carlito's Way. Simply poetic.

There are a lot of death scenes in SPR that could qualify but for me it was the medic that was with them.
I haven't seen the film for a while but I seem to recall him pushing his guts back into his stomach and his slow death ending with him crying for his mother.
Strong emotional stuff.
They're all more horrifying than brilliant
They can be both
Leon in Leon
Vin Diesel's death is pretty powerful an' all in that film, which is remarkable considering he's a shit actor.
That's the one I first thought of when I saw the thread title. Powerful stuff.
Great film. I love that scene
Are you talking about Bigwig? If you are, he doesn't die, unless I'm losing the plot.
I dunno, but his soul leaves his body and "Bright Eyes" comes on
The last scene of Life of Brian. Unforgettable. One of my favourite scenes from any film.
It still amazes me till now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvvMbOzks7o
He dies at the end of the second one already with no power and a total wimp, it is the death of Sonny Corleone that has a far larger effect on the triology as it opens the up the future top spot, and happens in the first movie
That end scene between Michael Clark Duncan and Tom Hanks and the rest of the guards during Michael Clark Duncan's execution was pretty much emotional as well.
The guy that played Fredo, can't remember his name. His death in Dog Day Afternoon was quite powerful. Straightforward shot to the head. As was the character Manolo's death in Scarface.

I used to well up watching that, honestly!
Try Life is Beautiful; it's very strange as you don’t actually see him being shot dead so you keep expecting him to run out with that daft grin on his face at any moment but he doesn't, so for one of the most likeable movie characters of all time, it's a bit hard to take.
Sean Penn being murdered in Carlito's Way is pretty cool as he had it coming.
Watched that the other day, good performance by Penn though, that lawyer was a real enjoyable character
Denzel Washington in Training Day took a bit of a killing at the end of the movie by gangsters and russian mafia as they shot the shit out of his car.
You think you can do this to me?!...Who the feck you think you feckin' with? I'm the police! I run shit here! You just live here!...King Kong ain't got shit on me! That's right, that's right. Shit, I don't feck. I'm winnin' anyway, I'm winnin'... I'm winnin' any motherfecking way, I can't lose. Shit, you can shoot me, but you can't kill me.

Irreversible, the much contraversial movie based on the rape of Monica Belluci, and the boyfriend killing the guy who raped her. The guys head was smashed in with a fire extinguisher good and proper and was pretty sickening to watch, class way to kill someone though
Hard to beat this
We got the winner here. One of the finest scene in film history.
