Besides being one of the weirder movie names of all time, this death was relatively unique, at least in presentation.

Waring Hudsucker, the titular executive with buckets of cash and nobody to enjoy it with, has decided he's had enough. During one of the more rambling, babbling office meeting scenes I can remember seeing, our hero stands, clears his throat, takes one last drag off his Monte Cristo, and proceeds to climb onto the gigantic desk. The board of executives is collectively shocked, with the possible exception of Board Member 3 (the Eyebrow Dude). He then runs at full tilt towards the large picture window, jumping out in spectacular fashion. His journey isn't over yet, though; this is the good part.

For almost a full minute, he falls down what would probably be a two hundred story building if time were an indication. The wind speeds around him, whipping his suit about his rotund body, and he comically wipes condensation off of his glasses mid-fall. Seconds before impact, he spots a few onlookers who may be injured, and so he comically signals for them to move. The splat sound is so damn funny that it practically makes the movie, and the rest is actually pretty funny by itself. Some fat broad screams bloody murder as the camera pans upward, opening the movie proper for plotting.

He later shows up as an angel playing a ukulele and smoking a white-wrapped Monte Cristo, singing "She'll be Comin' 'Round the Mountain" with the melody of a cracked locomotive wheel.

In all, one of the more memorable deaths in my personal movie-watching history.
