Heaven Can Wait, 1978
Warren Beatty’s affable movie is about a pro quarterback who accidentally gets taken to heaven before his time (thanks to an overzealous guardian angel); as consolation, he gets put into the body of a millionaire, allowing him to buy his team and his way back to the quarterback position. It’s a breezy, pleasant watch, but it hardly compares to the harrowing Vietnam war drama The Deer Hunter.
