I didn’t see the recent film in which Reese Witherspoon plays some kind of girlfriend who comes back from the dead, but I happen to remember that the editors of Beliefnet.com deemed it “paranormally incorrect.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Do not despair! If you’re still in the mood for a spiritually complex, but highly romantic life-after-death film for Valentine’s Day, I’d rent “Truly, Madly, Deeply,”<\/a> staring British actors Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman. It’s the thinking man’s “Ghost,”<\/a> (though “Ghost” was no disgrace).<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s always Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon in the world’s most seeringly romantic epic of eternally-locked souls: “Wuthering Heights.”<\/a><\/p>\n

But that one ends so sadly. I do adore it though–for it holds fast to the poet Rumi’s<\/a> correct belief that “lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along.”<\/p>\n
