I’m with you on that last one. I’d add BBM as a bonus film, and throw in Master and Commander: The Far side of the World as well.
“The Ring”

Blade Runner
Trainspotting
Boondock Saints
Casablanca
The Quiet Man
The Red Violin
You just reminded me of a movie that I loved and hadn’t thought about. I think I’ll try to rent it. Thanks for the reminder.
I’m trying to think of a few good ones that haven’t been mentioned.
- The Pope of Greenwich Village
- Best in Show
- GWTW
- The Bad Seed (oldie)
- Stranger on a Train (oldie with Farley Granger)
The Seven Samurai
Nosferatu (the 1928 version with Max von Schreck)
Tootsie
The Maltese Falcon
A Night at the Opera

The Best of Jerry Springer, Episodes I, II, III, IV and VI
Skip episode V. It’s not up to snuff.
I’ve heard only the even-numbered ones are any good.
Repo Man- Surrealistic alien invasion. Interesting philosophical discussions about where we are going to.
All That Jazz- If you are dying, you need to watch the best musical about death.
Saving Private Ryan- SInce you are dying, might as well amp up the body count.
Star Wars- REally high body count when you consider the world of Alderaan being blown to bits by the Death Star and the millions that die when the death star is destroyed.
Hamlet- EVERYBODY dies! Only Leartes is left.
Not my actual top 5, but not yet mentioned
Hud
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Secretary
Postcards from the Edge
Tremors
Didn’t he die before Hamlet did?
Yeah, he dies from the poisoned sword. The only significant characters that survive are Horatio and Fortinbras.
Stranger
Full Metal Jacket
ShawshankRedemption
The Green Mile
Saving Private Ryan
LOTR Trilogy
-
Smultronstället (Wild Strawberries) - This one would be relevant to your impending doom.
Casablanca
Chinatown
Apocolypse Now
Young Frankenstein
The Wizard of Oz
Another fan, perchance?
A lot of ones I thought of are already mentioned so here’s some different ones. Also I would want to watch funny movies if I were about to die.
Clerks 1 & 2 -Randal is one of the greatest and funniest characters ever. “Porch monkey 4 life”
What about Bob? -Bill Murray is a genius.
Shrek
Team America -the funniest first couple scenes of any movie ever. And puppet porn.
No, I think he was just commenting on your claim that it would be “with you for a long long time” – for an OP that claimed imminent death.
