Brilliant choices (though I've wondered recently if the Pier Anthony books possibly aged well... not that I am motivated enough to revisit them anytime soon.
I like it in the Simms Scrooge film in particular.

Mister Death
There’s only one portrayal of death that sticks out to me, and I think I was more interested in (chilled by?) the lack of stereotypical malevolence —and His cold, observational quality, paired with the lives He was observing, commenting on, and claiming.
Death is the narrator of what I think is a pretty nice historical fiction set in Nazi Germany—The Book Thief.

I think of "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" as death, but maybe that's just me.
I saw pale kings and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried—‘La Belle Dame sans Merci
Thee hath in thrall!’
