''Remember Me'' among The 10 Best Movie Deaths Of 2010

It's not an easy thing to admit, especially in the season of peace and love and joy, but there's nothing much better than a good movie death scene. Whether it's watching the bad guy finally vanquished or seeing your conflicted hero shot down to save a nation, movie deaths can bring catharsis, satisfaction, or-- let's face it-- brutal happiness when done right. And even though 2010 wasn't really a great year for action movies, it was a pretty stellar one for movie deaths, both the dramatic "go out in a hail of bullets" kind and the more creative, shocking ones too.

I had more than 20 options when I first started putting together this list, and whittled it down to 10 of not only the most awesome, but the ones least likely to spoil the entire movie if you haven't seen it yet (except in the case of Remember Me, since at this point the ending is fairly well publicized-- but read that one at your own risk). As you go into this list of the best movie deaths in 2010, you shouldn't have to worry about spoilers too much, but if you're the anxious kind, fair warning !

Robert Pattinson dies in the Twin Towers, Remember Me.

No, this wasn't a great death scene by any means, but I'll be damned if I won't think of it every time i see Pattinson's face for the rest of my life, standing in front of the window and the camera tracking back to reveal-- dumb dumb dumb!-- the doomed towers. It's not just that it's tasteless, though it's that too, but that the surprise hinges entirely on the audience not putting together the math that the movie takes place in summer 2001, even though it starts with a prologue set in 1991 then jumps to "10 years later." So absurd, and yet so memorable.
