There's quite a few in the James Bond movies: In Moonraker in the opening sequence. In Octopussy the henchmen on the plane. In A View To A Kill Zorin falls off the bridge. Goldfinger gets sucked out of a plane. It's one of the most seen deaths in the series I think. Almost as common as machete kill by Jason. Which one has Blofield get dropped down a smokestack? For Your Eyes Only, I think?

I remember shortly before hunchback came out, Disney put out something parodying how many of their characters died from falls. Then they said they wouldn't give away how Frollo died because that would spoil it.
but...
Darth Maul: Episode 1 (sliced in half be damned) Boba Fett: Jedi (comic revisionism regardless) Rebecca De Mornay: The Three Musketeers

McLeech on Rescuers Down Under. Walt Disney movie villains seemed to always end up falling to their deaths for a while there. It seemed to be Disney's fetish at the time. That or they just ran out of ideas on how the main villain should die. Producer 1: "Hey, how should the main bad guy die in this film?" Producer 2: "Eh, let's make him fall to his death." Producer 3: "Didn't we do that like a billion times already?" Main Director: "You're fired."

Didn't Scar (I think Scar... from The Land Before Time) die by falling off a cliff?
And does Terminator 2 count? T1000 falls into Molten something. Steel, Iron, Lead... something.

Don't know if anyone mentioned this but Palpatine at the end of Return of The Jedi. (Although in the books he came back, so I guess it's technically not a death).
I also forgot the bad guy in Living Daylights....he had a nice scream on the way down. There's actually 2 fall to death scenes in that film.
I don't think anyone mentioned this one but Richard Chamberlain's death in The Towering Inferno is a thing of beauty.
The bad guy in Stick had a nice one too.

Didn't Scar (I think Scar... from The Land Before Time) die by falling off a cliff? What, you mean Sharptooth? He fell into a pool of water, but was weighed down by a rock, so he drowned. The only Scar I know was eaten by hyenas.

Which one has Blofield get dropped down a smokestack? For Your Eyes Only, I think? That's correct.He was in a wheelchair and they never showed his face, but it was Blofeld.

At the end of Delta Force 2, Billy Drago's character falls out of a plane thousands of feet in the air. The credits roll as he continues to fall. They never show what actually happens to him, but I'll assume he dies.

to add another Batman falling death, you have probably add Two Face from both TDK and Forever.
oh, and the guy from Darkman.
