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.”

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,” staring British actors Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman. It’s the thinking man’s “Ghost,” (though “Ghost” was no disgrace).

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

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