Its been awhile since I've seen Passengers, the movie about a passenger who awakens from 100+ year slumber to another planet? How does this movie qualify?

Passengers (2008) is what I think they’re talking about

Probably the most famous "He was dead the whole time" plot twist is from the Sixth Sense

Not mentioned yet:

  1. Archive
  2. Vanilla Sky
  3. Source Code

Although technically, the protagonists in each are not completely dead, yet. (But since someone mentioned Jacob's Latter, I thought these should be included too.)

For comedy, that's tough. But Soul by Pixar may fit?

It's a comedy, but the protagonist for some noticeable amount if time does not realize or is in denial of his death. His acceptance of his fate is in the first third of the movie and not at the end like Sixth Sense or the other movies mentioned here.

Death is ever present in Soul, but story is about how to live.

Maybe not exactly what you want, but try

Meet Joe Black (1998)

A decent flick in which Death takes a few days off to find out what it's like to be human.

All I can think of is Over Her Dead Body, which is definitely not a quality movie I’d recommend.

For a different approach, I'll mention Dead Again and Angel Heart
