2 Days in the Valley (1996) [Helga Svelgen]: Shot in the stomach (off-screen) during a fight with Teri Hatcher. She goes to James Spader for help, but when he decides to "help" by finishing her off, she staggers out into the street and dies while several other characters try to save her.  (Note: There is also an earlier scene in which James shows a topless photo of Charlize "playing dead' to convince Peter Horton she's already been murdered.) (Thanks to Rick for the clarification.)

The Devil's Advocate (1997) [Mary Ann Lomax]: Commits suicide by slitting her throat with a piece of broken glass in a hospital room while Keanu Reeves watches helplessly. Her death is later undone when Keanu rejects Al Pacino's satanic offer and everything is restored to as it had been.

Reindeer Games (2000) [Ashley Mercer]: Falls to her death after Ben Affleck hits her with a car, then lets it go over a cliff with her still hanging onto the hood. (Thanks to Mac)

The Yards (2000) [Erica Stoltz]: Falls to her death over a staircase railing during a struggle with Joaquin Phoenix. (Thanks to Chris)

Sweet November (2001) [Sara Deever]: Dies of cancer. (See also Sandy Dennis in the 1968 version.) (Thanks to KingKong)

Monster (2003) [Aileen Wuornos]: Executed (off-screen) by lethal injection; the movie ends before her death, but some on-screen text provides the information at the end of the movie. (Thanks to Mac, Gary and Robert)

Head in the Clouds (2004) [Gilda Besse]: Killed (off-screen) by French resistance members who believe she's a Nazi sympathizer. (Thanks to Elle)

Aeon Flux (2005) [Aeon Flux/Catherine]: Playing a dual role as "Aeon Flux" and the predecessor she was cloned from, the original "Catherine" dies of the plague 400 years before the story begins; her body is shown lying in the morgue in a flashback sequence to her cloning. ("Aeon" survives the movie.)

Hancock (2008) [Mary Embrey]: Is temporarily clinically dead, along with Will Smith, due to the superhuman bond between them when Will is critically injured in a struggle with Eddie Marsan and his thugs; she is brought back to life after Will revives and distances himself from her to break the bond.
