Looking to create a list of movies where a person is redeemed via supernatural intervention. To get a feel for what I mean:
Its a Wonderful Life
Michael
Any of the zillion versions of A Christmas Carol
Good one. I thought of it after I saw Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Which isn’t nearly as bad as I feared it would be.
Do we include Biblical or pseudo-Biblical movies?
In the latter, I’d name The Robe and Demetrius and the Gladiators.
Yeah, why not? No need to limit - especially since we aren’t getting flooded with hits anyway.
I suppose you could make a case for Bruce Willis’ character in The Sixth Sense.
I just thought of one: The Family Man with Téa Leoni and Nick Cage.
Are there really so few? I would have thought it was a common theme.
Ugh. I hate those.
Let’s see… Bruce Almighty, of course… Dogma, at the end… Groundhog Day… The Kid (that Bruce Willis movie)… Ghost town… Pleasantville… I’ll try to think of some more later-
The List might interest you. It’s basically a a supernatural suspense movie involving curses and conspiracies told from a decidedly Christian point-of-view, though one needs not adhere to any particular creed to enjoy it. As I recall, one or two characters find some form of redemption by the end, and otherworldly forces have a hand in that . . . I think. I’ve never seen It’s a Wonderful Life, so I have no idea what you really desire in terms of recommendations, but *The List *is a fun little movie involving salvation and the supernatural. Here’s the link:
The Hudsucker Proxy
Miracle on 34th Street
