If you were a character in a film and you had to die

[venomx]

Whoops sorry, Sir. Hehe, well I guess a silver sword it is then.

"cut my way through a horde of werewolves would be insanely satisfying." Well I'm glad you're in our military!

I don't know if you'd neseccarily cout it as a "death" but some sort of transformation to higher plane of existence. Like in 2001: A space Odessey. 

The heroic death I'd want is from battle wounds after a massive sword fight saving someone important and then the film's heroine holds me.

That or dinosaurs. Just so the last thing I saw was something awsome.

Just when I think I've covered all the ways I want to die in a film, I think of a couple of more.

Dr. Zhivago

Play ride the bomb like in Dr. Strangelove...

HELL YES!

Lose my head in a wrestling match as in Grunt! The Wrestling Movie.

In an epic sword duel with some sinister villain, in a fantasy-type universe - maybe setting up his ultimate defeat by my own demise.

Yeah, right.  Lauren Ambrose's "death" from the very end of "Six Feet Under".

I've heard of that show, but never seen it. Its about a family of undertakers isn't it? Anyway, I don't quite get the reference.

Wow: a lot of friends long last seen in this thread.

Peacefully, after a life with a good meaning.

There's a scene in Monty Python's Meaning of Life where a man gets to choose his own execution method. 

He chooses to be chased off a cliff by topless girls in sports gear.  That seems a fairly nice way to go.

It's okay - probably not worth avoiding the spoiler/my explanation of the spoiler.       I'm sure it's a good show, and I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurved Lauren Ambrose back in the day. It just felt played out for me a few episodes into the first season, and it kept going. I checked back in for the series finale. The final sequence provides a forecast of when and how all of the characters die - most of them prematurely and unhappily. But Lauren's character (who receives the final forecast) has a full and happy life, lives to be 100, and dies peacefully in her sleep.

Stare the hungry monster in the eye and say "I hope I give you the trots" right before being eaten.
