Guys, you gotta help me.

I need to see as many funeral movies as I can. I'm hoping someone from this board can clue me in to stuff I have yet to see. Start naming...

Well, the first (if not the best) obvious choice is The Funeral.

Do you mean movies about funerals, or just movies that contain funerals? One of the most memorable ones that springs to mind is in Penelope Spheeris' Suburbia.  Barry Lyndon has a nice funeral procession. Moonlight Mile had some good pre and post funeral material. I'm sure I can think of some more....hold on a sec...

beginning of The Big Chill.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Try killing yourself for research...

Well, it's not a film but how about Six Feet Under.

Sound advice, mutiny. For someone researching SUICIDE flicks.

Seen The Big Chill at least 10 times. Looking for stuff in that vain. That and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof...I know that's not really a funeral movie, but it had the same vibe. Terms of Endearment...

Thanks, Ghostboy. I've seen The Funeral, but will check out that Suburbia movie.

be sure to check out the Futurama episode "A Pharoah to Remember", where Bender gets a surprise funeral.

under the paving stones.

Check out Harold and Maude... the first half of that movie is like one big funeral... the second half is a giant rebirth.
