Parting Glances

and

Blithe Spirit

[Richelieu]

A personal favorite : Whose life is it anyway.

[Wraith]

Grave of the Fireflies, for sure. Excellent movie, and exactly what you're looking for.

To a lesser degree, Jin-Roh might be appropriate as well.

Actually, perhaps the best picture of 2002 is about death: When We Were Soldiers.

I watched it. It was okay. I didnt like how VCs were crackshot snipers and US soldiers were goldy invincible in CQB. Only one US marine fell dead in the whole movie. (I counted) and the VC was hiding and he didnt see him.

Movie didnt really deal with death at all. It was an interesting war film that dealt with issues on war, but not death. I think AQWF is the only film that really did well to portray issues of war as well as bring a character to face death.

I'm looking for movie that is more like seventh seal-ish. Oy, that movie was just sooooo great.

Diary of anne frank sounds exactly like what i am looking for. thanks.

I watched grave of fireflies. No real emphasis of characters facing death, though they encounter poverty and cruelty and they eventually die. Movie is more about war, not death. and victims of war and anti-war message.

Flatliners
Evil Dead II
Slaughterhouse 5
Catch-22 (to a lesser extent)
Beatlejuice

[Dr Strangelove]

How about "On the Beach", "The English Patient", or "Dark Victory"?

Then there's Monty Pythons' "The Meaning of Life".

[Tuberski]

The Crow, duh..........

The Cure is pretty good. A tearjerker.

ACK!

Anyone know where I can get a track listing for Final Destination. Some of the songs on there rock.

[loinburger]

I usually check to see if the soundtrack is on sale at Amazon.com -- they'll usually have a track listing.

[Dauphin]

I normally try that, I don't think there is an OST and the DVD/Video doesn't mention it.

While certainly death is in these movies, I am looking for seventh sealish movie where character confronts death. Yes, bruce campbell confronts death literally, but c'mon you know what i mean..
