Happy 2021! A great movie death can cement a film's place in cinematic history. But what defines 'best movie death'? Maybe it's what it means to the story and the impact it carries to the characters story arcs? No? Well what about the drama, the surprise, the gore or the creativity of it all? It can be almost impossible to describe why we enjoy a good movie death when it's often such a depressing and challenging subject in reality, but one thing is for definite - that scene in Deep Blue Sea where Samuel L. Jackson is bitten in half by genetically engineered, super-intelligent CGI sharks has brought joy to millions. I can't put in to words how or why it's amazing, it's just a universal truth.
