What's the best execution scene you've ever seen in any movie??
Mine would have to be when Joe Pecsi (In Goodfellas) puts a enemy's soldiers' head in a vice until he screams who sent him. That scene was excellent.
16 Bars, Playas movin' dope in their cars/
Taped to the gas tank, Shawshank, smokin' cigars/
Took an oath son, spit on bums, I gotta succeed/
Murdered the child of the bast*ard, that tourtured my seed/

Interesting question, BG. It's not hard for a director to create blood and horror in an execution, but I like those that have drama around them.
For example: The scene in "Mean Streets" when David Carradine (the drunk) gets shot five or six times and still manages to stagger after the shooter (Robert Carradine). He seems almost superhuman, staggers into the jukebox (playing "Mala Femina" by Jimmy Roselli), bar patrons flee into the streets, Carradine finally collapses on garbage cans. Great scene!
Another: Though this might seem out of place on these boards, the final shootout in "Unforgiven" is one of the greatest scenes ever filmed. Just absolutely unforgettable for its spare staging and drama.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

The final execution at the end of Braveheart always gets to me.
