Lost Highway (1997)

A funny thing happens as you travel down David Lynch's Lost Highway. During a fight, a man falls heavily onto the edge of a marble table, which drives deep into his brain, almost splitting his head in two. Blood pools around his bisected noggin, and yet your first instinct as you watch this fatal scene is to chuckle nervously.
