Mr. Death comes off as a '70s sitcom version of Shoah. That’s very hard to do, tastefully.
I stumbled across “Jacob’s Ladder” w/Tim Robbins a few years ago on late night cable. I had never seen it or heard of it and thought it good enough to add to my collectiion. If you havn’t seen it I’d recommend giving it a look.
I love that movie so much that I have considered buying a laserdisc player in order to be able to watch it when my VHS copy wears out, since I doubt it will ever make it onto DVD.
