Scenes that Should Have the Wilhelm Scream

Nearly all these films are improved once the Wilhelm Scream is added to them. Especially "Titanic."

Upvoted only because I hope it makes people HATE the damn thing as much as me.

I SO Hate hearing it in movies, and I notice it pretty much any time it happens.

It's almost as bad as, well, it's a hard one to explain, it's a kind of (kii woosh) eplosiony sound thing that seems to be used far, far too much. It's hard to explain, it's used as a backdraft sound sometimes, and just all round explosion thing. I'll try and find an example of it. (AHAH, I remembered it from the intro to Magic Carpet from 1994 of all places... it's here at 3:22 (skip forward to it, terrible intro) It gets used EVERYWHERE and I hate, hate, hate it

Damn lazy sound designers, damn them to hell

I am pretty sure that sound effect really originates from magic carpet (and was later sold into a effects library).
And its incredibly common. If you add games, even more so than the wilhelm scream.
Nearly every racing/space/ect game has it somewhere.
