Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Watchin Movies This movie is a great twist on the Book of Enoch and the Book of Genesis. An Angel falls in love with a human and decides to fall or give up being an Angel to become human. The take away I got from this movie is that life is a great gift and to savor every moment. The movie has a great message with stunning visuals. I'm not sure how the average rating is a 6. I have seen a lot of movies and this deserves better than a 6. I'm sure the same people are rating all of the Marvel and DC movies very highly. Either way, City of Angels is worth watching at least once.
2karl- This film I saw in the cinema its good because cage is not over the top as usual in this 1hri 54min this | Drama/ Fantasy and it is a classic Romance I gave it 7/10 this came out at the height cages box office draw in 1988 Inspired by the modern classic, Wings of Desire, City involves an angel (Cage) who is spotted by a doctor in an operating room.

Byrdz Another OK film. The concept is interesting. The shots of the black clothed angels all over the City Of Angels are cinematically impressive.I used to actually get the quinzies just watching Nicholas Cage but, I have learned to at least not hate him. It was difficult tho' because of all those extreme closeups of his carefully non-blinking eyes and non-smiling mouth. Romantic leading man ? Not quite ! Meg Ryan is her usual cute as a button self with a pretty nice curly haircut. It's a bit of a stretch to see her as a driven heart surgeon with personal issues.Best of the bunch character wise were Dennis Franz (he was the most believable and appealing character in the whole film) and Andre Braugher as another angel, friend and confidant of Cage.If you have not seen this one and have a spare couple of hours, it's worth a one time watch, imo.
Zoheb Haider Okay, so this is a movie made on the backdrop of our guardian angels and yes I believe in them. Nicholas Cage plays Seth who falls for Maggie played by Meg Ryan, yes the astonishingly cute Meg Ryan. For all I could remember, Nicholas Cage is all about action roles but this shade is a must watch too. A fantasy story, an angel falling for a beautiful soul on earth and it ends with the most unexpected of endings, the lady dies in her angel's arms.. As sad and teary that sounds, I kinda have my peace with it. For true love is not always about the years together but sometimes that one tiny out-of-the-world true moment is all that is enough to cherish an entire life with someone's thoughts. That was the learning and it was delivered to perfection!
