Hannibal - Brain Food
"That smells great" is what Ray Liotta says as Hannibal Lector puts a piece of his brain in a frying pan. The best scene in the Silence of the Lambs sequel was created using CGI and a green skull cap along with an animatronic robot for the close ups. The end result is a classic scene

Robocop - Toxic Waste Guy
There's one particular death in Robocop that stands out and that is the death of the toxic waste guy. In the climax of the movie our victim tries to terminate Robocop by running him over with a van. As Robocop dives out of the way of his puny attempt, he slams into a large container of toxic waste and comes out with his skin hanging off the bones, gasping in horror. He then walks out to the middle of the road and gets obliterated by Red Foreman in a 6000 SUX. Classic!

Executive Decision - Steven Seagal Dies!
No flying limbs, no gallons of blood, no gory special effects. No, what make this one of the greatest movie deaths of all time is the fact that Steven Seagal dies in it. You see, in just about every Steven Seagal movie, he comes out at the end unscathed. He'll get shot, cut, beat up and end up without a scratch. Which is why it makes this scene from Executive Decision even better. In fact, Steven Seagal originally refused to shoot his death scene for fear his fans would not like it. Director Stuart Baird insisted he must do it as scripted, though Seagal held up filming for a few days and suggested that the manner in which it happened wouldn't realistically cause him to die. Finally after threat of contractual breach, Seagal acted the death scene as scripted.

Total Recall - "See you at the Party Richter"
You thought one-liners occur only in Bond movies. Nope, the classic one-liner before or after killing the villain has been around forever. From the classic "make my day" to "yippee-ki-yay." Sometimes it can be cheesy, but when well executed it can become a movie classic. Schwarzenegger is a veteran at the one-liner, in this scene from Total Recall he eliminates the villain Richter and then has something to say about it. Leave a comment and tell us your favorite one-liner?

Phantasm - The Brain Sucking Sphere
Phantasm was a low budget sci-fi horror movie that has turned into a cult classic. It came out in 1979 and introduced the "Tall Man." In order to take over the world, the Tall Man used zombies and a weapon called the Sentinel Sphere. The Sentinel Sphere had two retractable blades that stuck to the victims head, a cranial drill that dug into the dome, and a micro pump that sucked out his brains. In this scene we see the Sentinel Sphere at work.
