Some thought-provoking movies about death and dying and the afterlife:
1) Ghost… the classic with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg
*** 2) Coco…. beautiful animated CGI flick about Day of the Dead

5) What Dreams May Come… Robin Williams looking for his wife in the afterlife
* 6) Meet Joe Black… Anthony Hopkins as the dying man and Brad Pitt as “Death,” who has come to get him.

*** 8) Six Feet Under TV series… one of the best tv series ever! It’s about a family running a funeral home in LA and their many conversations with the dead folks they are working on…
