I am trying to find a movie I saw a while back. I can’t find it and googling has not brought any results. The movie is about a forest fire fighter pilot who dies. He comes back as a ghost, and sees what is going on after his death. I think Richard Dreyfuss was the character, but must be wrong as checking websites produced nothing. I am also fairly sure John Goodman was a major characther. Help please, my friends say no such movie, I say there is, they told me to rent it, I couldn’t because I got no place to start looking. ---

It’s called [Always](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096794/). FYI [www.imdb.com](http://www.imdb.com) is one of the best, and most frequently cited resources as far as movies go. Before you let on that you know, make a cash bet. 😃 ---

The movie was “Always”. It should be in IMDB If I remember correctly, Audrey Hepburn played the “Mr. Jordan”-like role (angel). ---

You could have found it quickly by plugging in the names of either Dreyfuss or Goodman or very quickly by plugging in both names. ---

I really enjoyed this movie. I’m kinda a sucker for feel-good movies. Holly Hunter looked \*great \*in that white dress! Yum!
