Funniest Death Scenes In Movies

Three movies that had death scenes which made me laugh uncontrollably were, in no particular order as follows:


1. Meet Joe Black. Moments before the car accident in the movie there is a conversation between Brad Pitt and Claire Forlani. The scene is serene and romantic with the two of them flirting. This makes the accident fantastic and unexpected.


2. Departed. If you haven't seen the movie don't watch this clip. Don't even rent it, go buy the movie. The scene is the ending. Once you've seen the movie you will understand why this death scene is so good.

3. Titanic. The real life titanic sinking is not funny. But the titanic in the movie, cracks me up. When those bodies start falling off the ship. Their heads start hitting the railings and making that ping and clanging noise. I cackled. (I was not able to find a clip on youtube). (I also laughed in the movie when Leonardo DiCaprio showed his paintings of some woman and referred to her as one legged hooker.)

When I watched these movies I saw them with a date. My favorite of their responses to my involuntary laughter was "Your the only person who would laugh at that." Eh, maybe.
