Dogma is a pile of shit, on balance one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

A Matter of Life and Death is good, though it's British and therefore not Hollywood.

I haven't seen Wings of Desire, maybe I should? idk

Does Wings Of Desire count as Hollywood?

City of Angels was a shit remake of Wings of Desire. That film and it's sequel, Faraway So Close I would argue are pretty decent "angel" films. Not Hollywood, though, so maybe that doesn't count.

Don't forget Legion, where good angels and bad angels fight each other in a run down diner with spinning maces.

Well Dogma did have a shit demon in it.

My problem with that movie was mostly the script meandered and wasn't often that innovative, and the concept was better than the final product.

As you've already covered Wings of Desire, and we're limited to hollywood, try "The Prophecy". It's a bit of a dog, but Christopher Walken is so compelling it makes up for all the hokum and bad storytelling. God, I love that guy.

What about Angels in the Outfield? What better message for kids than the idea that God's almighty messengers have nothing better to do than help some douchebags cheat at baseball?

Sadly it's difficult to find the original theatrical cut, where every time the angels catch a pop fly or help a runner steal home, there's a smash cut to a dying child in the third world, looking desperately up in the sky for help which never comes.

Michael has one bit that has stuck with me all these years, the invention of waiting in line. 9 year old me thought that was really funny.

Oh, and BTW, this is a teen book series. When I worked in bookselling, I had the order of the damn things memorized, but now I couldn't remember if I tried.

Would What Dreams May Come count?

And God damn it if I don't have to be extra careful not to say "Wet Dreams May Come" when I say that title out loud.

Date with an Angel.

I've never seen that one! I looked it up on Youtube and indeed it does not look painfully awful.

Inspirational baseball movie plus inspirational family drama movie plus inspirational faith movie. If America had a Ministry of Propaganda, they couldn't have done any better.

Well, maybe if the angels were also wacky talking dogs, but at one point one of them looks at the camera and says, "I just want my owner to come back safe from Iraq."

Well Islam believes that humans can't ever interact with angels so I guess that would make sense if the Taliban baseball team didn't get any help. They also hate dogs, too. Maybe there's different leagues of angels and the Baseballim is basically just devoted to making sure that children don't forget about the magic that God can perform when you ask Him to help you cheat/win.

So okay maybe that is also a bad movie.

I do like talking dog angels as a movie pitch, though.

So Air Bud is dead and his children miss him so they pray to God that Air Bud can return to him. Air Bud returns as an angel complete with halo and tells his kids that the End Times are coming and they have to win the next baseball game or the Apocalypse will come and all of humanity and puppykind is doomed. We're thinking of calling it Air Apupalypse.

"Baby, it's still good, right?"

"Youdammit!"

The trauma of Twilight is still pretty fresh. It will take a while to forget the agonizing writing.

Im sorry, you'll have PTTD for life
