Michael [VHS] [1997]

We'd heard about and read up about this film for some time and only now managed to find one compatible to UK dvd players.This certainly is so and the film is a little gem.John Travolta takes the lead in this film where a trio of newspaper people are despatched to check out a story that an 'angel' is at large in a town somewhat away from their offices in Chicago.They all meet and are shocked by Travolta's demeanour and appearance, living in a suburban house with his landlady, he with a beer belly, long hair, less than angel like mannerisms, heavily smoking and...full length wings.During their few days together on a road trip back to Chicago, the trio witness his charm, intelligence, his empathy of each others' needs desires and fears and his pied-piperesque captivation of any women in his company.Once there is a tragic event to which he is called upon and they witness him carry out a minor miracle, their hitherto scepticism disappears and aware his "time" is drawing near (as apparently, angels only get up to 26 revisits and this is his) they hasten back to Chicago to present this honest-to-God angel to the world...whilst they can.No spoilers......get the film. You won't regret it.

One of my fav films and can't understand why it did not do better. It is a shame the DVD won't work in the UK on some devices maybe something Amazon should look into as its 2016 and really should be able to see it in a compatible format.The film itself is about 3 journalists who work for a newspaper which prints the rather larger then life stories. They get a letter about someone living with a Angel. They go expecting to see some nut job and find Micheal who has wings,drinks,smokes and kind of does everything you would expect a angel not to do... It carries on from there where they try to take him back to the paper company.It is a feel good comedy and a different film to others I have seen. The story is pretty strong as is the cast and a worth while watch

For me; this film is just the best. I've seen it about three times now and every time I watch it I see more than I saw the last time. From the concussed bull to the excellent end sequence with the Van Morrison music it's just the best !

One of my favourite films - coarse enough to avoid too much saccharin. This is a film with a big screen identity and unfortunately the version - the one in the picture with the huge PG on the front - I bought has been technically adapted to an old TV screen size thus wrecking the feel of the film. Disappointed

We hadn't seen this film for years - but loved it as if for the fist time again, a super feelgood film that we didn't get bored of watching several times before our rental was up! Hoping you feel the same if you watch it. Two fifty-somethings!

This is a really heartwarming film which it has to be said,includes some comedic moments. And the record "Chain Chain Chains" sang by Aretha Franklin taken in the bar, Well !! Brilliant.

STANDARD VERSION. THIS FILM HAS BEEN MODIFIED AS FOLLOWS FROM ITS ORIGINAL VERSION, IT HAS BEEN FORMATTED TO FIT YOUR SCREEN. Wish I'd read that before I'd bought it or the other reviews for that matter. Hey ho, a bit of tinkering with your TVs aspect ratio setting and it's still watchable. Better copies out there for the money. Okay I've you've still got an old valve telly.
