Heaven Can Wait. (1978 version)
Always been a fave. Was nominated for 9 Academy Awards. Excellent cast and a killer premise. Very funny but also very moving at times. Dated? Yes. But the story is timeless. Great date movie too.

Nah, the acting is top notch. What's really cool is that Beatty and Christie were an item at the time so the chemistry is really natural. Kinda like Pitt and Jolie in Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Technically speaking and the overall look of the movie is a bit dated. Oh, and Dyan Cannon in her prime is well worth the price of admission.

She mostly watches B horror movies. And she's way into labelling things as pretentious quickly. Really gets on my nerves but it's whatever.

Girl after my own heart with the B horror movies thing but too bad she's so judgemental about other things though and isn't as open.

Oh man, that last scene with the daughter hit me right in the chest. I even the knew I was about to get all misty-eyed, but it didn't help.

Lol I might. I got her to look through the forum one time and she came to the conclusion that, "Y'all are some idiots"
