Last night I decided, instead of renting an American film, to get all protesty, and find something in the foreign film section. I purchased "Wings of Desire", a French-German production (with subtitles). Among the movie's stars is Peter Falk (Columbo).

If you've seen the Nick Cage movie "City of Angels", you've seen this (sort of). In fact City of Angels was based on this movie. Wings of Desire is much much better though, in my opinion.
Damiel is an Angel who, and I'm quoting from the movie case, "roams the streets of Berlin providing comfort to mortals in need". And he falls in love with a trapeze artist, equivalent to Meg Ryan's role as a doctor in City of Angels.
And like in City of Angels, Damiel (the character was called Seth in C of A) has to decide whether or not to give up his wings for this girl "he does everything in his power to be seen, heard and felt by Marion".

Anyway, if you're ticked off with the US, rent a foreign film. Rent Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon if you like action movies.
