I'd like to second the mentions of Serenity and Mostly Harmless.
Also, not a death scene per se, but in Chapter 1 of Baldur's Gate II:

Joffrey's death at his wedding feast. Man I was happy when that little bastard bit the dust.
The opera Tosca. The set-up for the death scene is her lover was arrested, tortured, and scheduled to be executed by hanging for treason, but the baron, Scarpia, who ordered it was willing to arrange a fake death if Tosca agreed to sleep with him. She agreed, he organized it so it would be a death by firing squad only they wouldn't use bullets (so her lover, Cavaradossi, just had to fall and play dead, then they were free), and when Scarpia yelled, "Tosca, finally mine!" and went to grab her, she snapped, grabbed a knife, yells, "This is Tosca's kiss!" and stabs him to death while yelling, "Are you choking on your own blood?! Die accursed! Die, die, die!" Once he's dead, she says, "He's dead...now I can forgive him." Then takes the travel pass out of his dead hand and says, "And all of Rome trembled before him."

Then she went to tell Cavaradossi the plan, and followed to the roof of the castle to watch the execution. The firing squad fires, he goes down, she yells, "What an artist!" and then fakes crying by his side, saying, "Just a bit, be still, don't move..." and then discovers he's really dead--Scarpia had lied and planned to sleep with her and kill Cavaradossi anyway. She's flipping when she hears soldiers approaching and yelling she killed Scarpia. That's where the cool death comes in. As the soldiers come, she jumps on the edge of the roof, yells "Scarpia, (we will meet) before God!" and jumps off.

So, yeah. Tosca was kinda badass for an opera heroine.

From Shaun of the Dead:
and
I love that film <3
When the landlord zombie gets beaten to the beat of "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen and then he gets his head rammed into the jukebox.
When the zombie girl in Shaun's garden gets killed by having loads of stuff chucked at her after she falls onto the pole and it cuts a big hole in her chest.
