Page 1 of Which Film Character Demise Would You Like?

Okay, maybe I`m being a little macabre, but we are hurtling headlong towards Halloween. As with the "Which Film Character Would You Like To Be?" thread, this one poses the question:

If you could choose your method of shuffling off this mortal coil, and it was in the manner of a movie character, which would it be? Do you fancy being sucked out of an aeroplane like Goldfinger? Shot into space like Hugo Drax? Blown to the four winds like Cody Jarrett (Jimmy Cagney) in White Heat? I take it there would be no takers for the Final Destination or Omen deaths?

Me, I`d love to go out like Major TJ "King" Kong (Slim Pickens) in Dr. Strangelove - riding a tactical thermonuclear weapon in freefall and whooping my head off.

I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

I considered Obi Wan Kenobi because his spirit passed into the Force - cool!

But in the end, I opted for Spock`s demise in Star Trek II as he got the best line ever: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" - AND he came back in the next movie! 8)

T 101 - Because he doesn`t feel pain, or fear death unlike the characters that have mentioned, he`s pretty much unstoppable. So it`s death is pretty much inventive, depending on the person who tries to kill the cyborg.

Also I would get to be Arnie!!!!

I`ve just spent an hour on this site:

and think I`ve found the funniest / weirdest death in Monty Python`s The Meaning of Life when Arthur Charles Herbert Runcie MacAdam Jarrett (Graham Chapman) was offered execution by a method of his own choosing. He selected a mad dash-pursuit by a group of bare-chested women who would chase him off a cliff.

My most recent favourite`s are I am Legend, Armageddon or Gladiator.

The coolest I can think of though has to be Butch and Sundance.
