Not from a movie, but “hold my beer” is probably final words for many.

I’ll add “hey, check this out.”

This is the one that always stuck with me….

https://www.classicfm.com/discover-m...d%20on%20stage.

As copied….

'To die! Tremendous moment!' sang Leonard Warren on stage in New York, moments before he collapsed and died…

During his career, Leonard Warren was revered as one of of the best baritones in the world. He frequently sang at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. And it was here, in 1960, that he sang his last aria, before collapsing on stage.

Which is noteworthy enough – not many musicians die on stage, after all. But here's where things get really eerie…

On 4 March 1960 Leonard Warren stepped on the stage of the Met to sing the role of Don Carlo in La Forza del Destino (The Force of Destiny) by Verdi.

The performance began without trouble, but things took a turn for the worst in Act III of the opera. Warren began singing the aria that begins with the words ‘Morir, tremenda cosa’, which means ‘to die, a momentous thing’.

Just a few moments later, he fell silent and collapsed. Those opening lines were the last words Warren would ever say – or sing. He died on stage.

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”

Surely you can’t be serious,

Been there, Rob.
Recently saw The Sting on Netflix right before it got removed and man, was it a fantastic movie.

The final line spoken by the great Christopher Lloyd the first Back to the Future: "Roads? Where we going, we don't need roads".
