There are some deaths in movies that are so sad and tragic that they can shake the viewer to their very core. Viewerscan only watch Bambi's mother die or Hilary Swank get taken off life support so many times before their soul is irreversibly damaged forever.

Then there are those deaths which, even though it may sound a tad sadistic to some, actually fill you with great joy. You don't feel bad in the slightest. You just feel like high-fiving everybody in the room and pouring a round of shots.

Look, none of us are perfect angels. It's only natural to derive some slightly perverse sort of pleasure from watching a total a-holeget their comeuppance after they've acted like monsters for 90 minutes.

The way in which these characters are disposed of is often less important than who does the disposing and how many terrible things thevillain has done up to that point. We typically don't care if it's a long, drawn-out torture scene or a swift shotgun blast to the face, so long as these sickos are out of the picture by the time the credits roll.
