City Of Angels (1998) *

An angel (Cage) falls in love with a flesh-and-blood woman (Ryan). This abysmal remake of Wings Of Desire takes a sadistic pleasure in torturing its viewers, first by boring them to death, and then by coming up with the most abominable conclusion imaginable. By turning Wim Wenders' magnificent masterpiece into a saccharine weepie, Hollywood commited a cinematic equivalent of blasphemy. Its makers deserve to rot in Hell for eternity.
