See title. I'm looking for some thought provoking films that involve themselves in angel mythology without being too blunt a Judeo-Christian tract. Any genre is fine (even horror) and it doesn't even have to be all that good, so don't be shy. Some films that I've already seen (that come to mind, anyway):

  • Constantine
  • Dogma
  • It's a Wonderful Life

The Prophecy. It might qualify as anvilicious, but the message was unexpected enough for me not to be bothered.

Angelheart comes to mind but I haven't seen that one yet. Tell me how it goes if you end up watching it.

City of Angels is about an angel that becomes human. The English version is all right plot-wise, but very gorgeously shot. Also, it's not preachy at all.

Um...Date With an Angel? Sorry, but when you’re late to the party, all you get is crap.

The terrible third and fourth Wishmasters had angel characters.

Angels are on Adrien Brody and Matthew McConaughey's side.
