Oh, Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. Their careers have not been in the best shape these days (Cage taking any role offered to him after going broke, and Ryan having bad plastic surgery on her face), but I do like most of their work and this one is among of them.

I wonder if I saw this movie before or after the original version directed by Wim Wenders. I’m pretty sure that I saw this remake first though.

Based in part on Wim Wenders's 1988 film, WINGS OF DESIRE, this is the story of Seth (Nicolas Cage), an angel who wanders the Los Angeles area invisible to humans. As someone's death approaches, he spends time near that person and becomes visible while acting as traveling companion during the trip to the great hereafter. His discovery of a distraught heart surgeon, Maggie (Meg Ryan), inspires him to forego his immortality and exist on earth with her as a feeling and mortal entity.

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1884 movies items)

" Want your heart, to be shattered into a million pieces? Then watch this five Kleenex film. While some have felt that it’s an emotionally manipulative film, others feel8 it’s a tragic love story for the ages. Nicholas Cage, plays an angel sent to Earth, to guide an old ma into the afterlife, but he also falls in love with a woman played by Meg Ryan. The soundtrack might be remembered, slightly more than the film itself. "
