"Final Destination 2" (2003)

Like the "Omen" and "Friday the 13th" franchises, the "Final Destination" movies are based around a series of memorable and often elaborate exterminations. Ironically, one of the shortest and simplest is quite possibly the best, as young Tim ... moreCarpenter (James Kirk -- we kid you not) is squashed to a bloody smear of goo underneath a falling plate of heavy glass. And all because he missed meeting his maker in the opening sequence -- a mass pileup on a highway that itself is perhaps the most carnage-laden car crash in movie history.
