I'm not spoilering these because these movies have been out for years now.

Lord of the Rings: When Gandalf and the Balrog fall from the bridge. Ooh, and when Denethor throws himself off the ledge.

In Saving Private Ryan when the sniper character gets blown out of the church steeple near the ned of the movie.

In "I Spit On Your Grave":
When the main character chops off one of the antagonist's penis

The Wilhelm scream makes me laugh. The most inappropriate time to use it would probably be during a really heart-wrenching, tear-jerking scene in a sad movie. It'll turn the movie from a Sad --> Funny =D

THERE'S NEVER AN INAPPROPRIATE TIME TO USE A WILHELM SCREAM.

Seriously, I can't think of a single scene that wouldn't be made instantly better with it.

I actually think that so long as it's a point where a scream is appropriate, you can shoehorn in the Wilhelm Scream for comedy effect. And i'm not just saying that because someone beat me to the idea of using the Wilhelm Scream at the end of sex scenes.
...okay i am.
I love being the ninja.

I think I love you for this answer.

OT: To use a more recent movie... in X-men: First Class, when...

Professor X gets hit in the spine with a deflected bullet.

During a sex scene. Yeah, that would be awkward.
I'll up you one (possibly): During a rape scene.

Either quite inapropriate or freaky in and of itself.

Ok, you got me there. But at that point I believe someone would take offence. It would be utter hilarity though.

At the point of ejaulation in a sex scene. (to be more specific than those before me.)

Or

As Jack slips slowly into the icy water (while Rose selfishly holds onto the driftwood instead of sharing it) we hear the scream.

As Romeo and Juliet's eyes meet for the first time.

After the word, "Rosebud."

"Luke, I am your father."
