My fellow Beliefnet blogger Susan Gregg, has a new post about her favorite angel characters in movies and a link to a Beliefnet gallery about angels in movies and television in the past 20 years.
These are all good choices but of course I have to add some of my own recommendations, including some films from before 1990 as well. Claude Rains was a dapper angel assisting a boxer who was sent to heaven before his time in Here Comes Mr. Jordan
Spencer Tracy was a flier killed in a crash who came back as something between a ghost and an angel to help the woman he loved find love again in A Guy Named Joe
The most elegant angel in movie history had to be Cary Grant as Dudley in The Bishop's Wife
In "Wings of Desire," angels observe rather than guide, and one of them finds heaven on earth.
Roy Scheider flirted with a sympathetic angel of death played by Jessica Lange in "All That Jazz." In "A Matter of Life and Death" (sometimes called "Stairway to Heaven") a dashing wartime aviator played by David Niven must argue for his life in a celestial court. In "Death Takes a Holiday," Fredric March plays the Angel of Death who learns what it is that makes humans cling to life so dearly.
And don't forget Clarence getting his wings at the end of "It's a Wonderful Life." George Bailey was not the only one who had a happy ending.

Erika, the only movie I know of with Matt Damon as an angel is "Dogma," a controversial Kevin Smith movie with Ben Affleck and Alan Rickman as angels, Chris Rock as a disciple, and Alanis Morrisette as God. But that does not sound like the one you are thinking of. Could you be thinking of "City of Angels" with Nicolas Cage?

Welcome, Patrick! Can you remember any other details about the movie? Is it an American film? Could it be "Michael" with John Travolta? He plays an angel who loses his feathers.
