Any death in a QT film - Kill Bill 1/2 and Pulp Fiction probably the best of them. Liked the Django Unchained slaughters as well. H8tful Eight fell short IMO.

Don Fanucci, as portrayed by Gastone Moschin, in The Godfather II.

And another one, a short but sharp one, was NYPD police Captain Mark McCluskey, played by Sterling Hayden in The Godfather.

George Harvey, rapist and murderer, in 'The Lovely Bones' by Alice Sebold. (I haven't seen the film but the book is lovely.)

Michael Gambon playing Denton Baxter in Open Range (Kevin Costner, Robert Duval, Annette Bening). Baxter was the bad guy who owned the town and Duval and Costner were open range cattle herders and Baxter hated them. Big gun battle ensues.

Annette was also in Grifters with Anjelica Houston playing Lily and her son Roy played by John Cusack, Roy died in dramatic fashion, killed by his mom Lily when she accidentally broke a glass that cut the artery in his neck, dead in a minute.

Maybe they didn't die. Wasn't there a sequel? 😛
