10 Best Movie Deaths Of 2020

As much as death is a part of life, it's even more a part of most movies, because you'll be hard-pressed to find a major film that doesn't feature death in some form or another.

Whether it's a horde of faceless mooks getting thoroughly destroyed by the badass hero or the more meaningful demise of a significant character, big Hollywood movies more often than not feature a ton of grim reaping.

And though 2020 was a more modest year for cinema than anyone expected for obvious reasons, that didn't stop filmmakers offering up their fair share of absolutely unforgettable cinematic death scenes.

From hilariously gory, darkly comic deaths, to genuinely unsettling screen demises, and those few that left audiences intensely satisfied at seeing a detestable villain finally get their brutal due, these are the 2020 deaths nobody will soon forget.

If 2020 taught us nothing else, it's that Hollywood will always find a way to kill people in the most creative and ridiculous ways possible, and occasionally, even leave us a little disturbed...

Birds of Prey offered up perhaps the most thoroughly detestable villain in DC movie history with the violent, psychopathic crime lord Roman Sionis aka Black Mask, played with deliciously demented glee by Ewan McGregor.

He was an antagonist viewers loved to hate, and while many expected he'd somehow live to fight another day, he got categorically, unambiguous murdered in the film's nutty climax.

Sinois has young Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) held hostage, at which point she reveals that she sneaked a grenade into Sionis' jacket and even pulled the pin.

As Sionis panics, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) springs into action and flips Sionis over the edge of the pier.

He lets out an hilariously effeminate scream mere moments before the grenade explodes him into several meaty chunks, which inexplicably gives Harley the taste for tacos.

Given how soft most DCEU villain deaths have been to date, this was killer in the very best way.
