Johnny Depp in Dead Man

 

[Plissken]

Christopher Walken as Gabriel (The Angel of Death) in The Prophecy is another great one.

Going super old school with a movie most probably don't know, but Fritz Lang's early silent German masterpiece Destiny, also known as Weary Death, is the GOAT in my book. Not only is he creepy, but as the title suggests he's sick of being the garbage man of the universe, he hates seeing people die and what it does to loved ones, but he has a job to do and he'll always do it. The plot is a woman loses her man and tries to plead with Death. He respects her pluck, so he offers her the following: He brings her into a room of candles where each candle represents a life. He points out three candles and says that if she can stop even one from extinguishing then he'll bring her man back. Either that or she has to go into the world and pick a life that she'd be willing to take in exchange for the return of her lover. It's a sweeping adventure story as well as an intimate drama, easily Lang's most underrated film and one of the all-time great silent masterworks.

The Frighteners

Technically, though, that's not Death, it's the spirit of a dead serial killer in a Grim Reaper disguise. Fun movie all the same, and it's got one of the weirdest and creepiest characters in film history in the person of Milton Dammers.

The one from Cemetery man/Dellamorte Dellamore I thought was cool an pretty original

I'm guessing partly lifted from Gilliam's Baron Munchausen Death.

Loved the way it/he was played up as deliberately prop like to go with the whole thing being like the stage show.

How the fuck has no one mentioned Bill and Ted

A weird one, but if you think about it Emilio Estevez as Billy the kid from the Young Guns movies. The aura of death completely surrounded him. He got almost all his friends killed in situations that could have been avoided, ruthlessly killed all his foes, and any many unfortunate soul that interacted with him and just gave offense.

His blatant lust for death and disregard for his own life while being a charismatic character in the first movie is awesome.
I had that movie on repeat during the VHS era.

Christopher Walken as Gabriel (The Angel of Death) in The Prophecy is another great one.

He's also Death in Click, it's been ages since I watched it but I think it was heavily implied

The soldier from the twilight zone episode with the old lady afraid to open her apartment door to anyone. Always stuck with me.

Christopher Walken as Gabriel (The Angel of Death) in The Prophecy is another great one.

Haven’t seen it and from what I’ve read about it his character is a villain in the movie but Gabriel the Archangel isn’t the angel of death.
