City of Angels, starring Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. Hit soundtrack featuring Goo Goo Dolls, U2, Alanis Morisette, and Sarah McLochlan. Loosely based on Wim Wenders's Wings of Desire.
Although Meg Ryan usually only shows up in chick flicks, City of Angels is anything but a shallow love story. It's a story about sacrificing everything you have for everything you love.
Nicholas Cage is an angel...an immortal who has no sense of touch, but can hear music in the sunrise. He is fascinated by humanity, especially a no-nonsense doctor played by Meg Ryan. He introduces himself to her as Seth, a "messenger" who doesn't quite seem right. Slowly, magically, they fall in love...but as an angel, Seth can never truly be with her. So when he meets an angel who has become human, he is presented with a terrible choice: forsake his life or forsake his love.
City of Angels is an experience in the heights of emotion. It explores love and sorrow, regret and joy, all through unforgettable actors, incredible camera work, and a matchless soundtrack.
