The 100 Best Kills!

For as long as there have been movies, there have been people dying in movies. Thanks to the magic of film, we've been desensitized to all sorts of horrendously violent acts: dismemberment, decapitation, asphyxiation, shots through the heart, hangings, flayings, being drawn and quartered, drowning, having a still beating heart ripped out of the chest of some unlucky adventurer, and that's just to name a few. To celebrate all of this psychotic behavior, the Alamo Drafthouse decided to put our heads together to compile the definitive list of the best kills that have ever been put on screen and then put those clips up on the screen again, back to back to back to bloody back. If you haven't been desensitized yet, this program will take care of that; we're gonna do for violence what Showgirls did for breasts. We won't bog you down with plots or characters or set ups or anything like that; we're only delivering the pay offs.

What makes a kill worthy of being included in our list? Lots of things. Some kills made it on because they're funny to watch. Others were just amazingly inventive. Still others are simply the kinds of images that linger in the back of our nightmares. You'll see shocking kills, heart-breaking kills, wacky kills, graphic kills, understated kills, beautiful kills, vintage kills, and every other freaking kind of kill you can imagine.
