From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of films where angels appear.

Guardian angel Clarence Odbody showed George Bailey that life is worth living in the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life.

Angel films are sometimes discussed in relation to Peter L. Valenti's definition of the 'film blanc', a variety of fantasy film characterised by "1) a mortal's death or lapse into dream; 2) subsequent acquaintance with a kindly representative of the world beyond, most commonly known as Heaven; 3) a budding love affair; 4) ultimate transcendence of mortality to escape the spiritual world and return to the mortal world.'[1] Angel films have also been discussed as the product of 'reform ideology' in early 20th century America;[2][better source needed] as sharing similarities with ghost films;[3][4] and in relation to medieval art.[5]
