Hmm, to me, there are two things that require a 'good' death scene. Deaths are meant to shock, perturb and disgust people in most genres. However, if it happens to be dark comedy then death scenes should be outrageously funny but sick at the same time.
I'll name but a few:
POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR CERTAIN FILMS
Drew Barrymore in Scream - Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven knowingly took a leaf out of Hitchcock's book here by having the most famous star of the movie die in a pretty gruesome way. Not only that, but she died in the first ten mins. A chiling build up to a shocking death scene that actually made me care.
Joe Pesci in Casino - This scene brings new meaning to the term 'whacked'. Joe Pesci and his brother get the living **** beat out of them with baseball bats. A really uncomfortable and merciless scene made worse by the fact that they are subsequently buried alive. Plain and truly nasty.
Kristen Cloke in Final Destination - This happened to be a multiple death sequence inside a house. Although painful looking, it was quite funny the way this lass was one min taking glass from her throat then being electrocted by some random object! Cool moment of glee there.
