Two of them...
Just thinking about both these movies, both of which I saw AGES ago...and only once each. I think they're both"girly" kinda films, but both of em were a decent watch.
1: This movie was made (I think) in the late 70's-early 80's....It has a 50's kinda setting at the beggining.
A guy and his girl are driving, and for some reason, end up driving off a bridge and dying.
I THINK this is what happened...if I'm mixing up plots, let me know...I think I may have on this one, but the REST, I remember.
So, either one or both of them reincarnate, and I remember the plot revolving heavily about them being soulmates.
Long story short, they were both like, in completely different places, and they hadda find eachother.
It's NOT Heart and souls, Chances are, or Heaven can wait, nor is it that crappy meryl streep movie.
2: Don't remember MUCH from this one...
I seem to recall the word "star" MAY have been in the title somewhere.
A girl comes from space...either lands or crash lands..,
she's humanoid, and looks normal. Some guys (perhaps govt kinda guys) were after the girl.
She ends up meeting a young guy (a mechanic I think?) and his friend, and she falls in love with the first guy throughout the film.
They get chased, run, and get chased some more...this is all I can remember.
A little help anyone? Numerous suggestions are ok.

tell me to shut up, but are you sure the 2nd one is a girl from space and not a man? there's a film, and I can't for the life of me remember the tiltle and I've seen it about 5 times, where this guy comes from outerspace, and befriends a family, lives with them and eventually has to leave because living on earth is killing him. The guy has strange powers aswell and is being hunted down by government officials.
***edit***
just came to me.... this film is called Starman (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088172/)

Shut up.
That was either
"Starman" with Jeff Bridges
OR
"The man who fell to earth" with Bowie...
Thanks anyways, but no.
It was a chick, and she never settled, it was an "on the run" kinda movie from front to back.

i dont think its that ... i guess i could be wrong though ...
if it's the one i'm thinking of .. the cover has this guy with long curly brown hair and a floppy hat on a motorcycle with the girl on the back or standing beside him .. and i do think Star is part of the title..

Pretty impressive Urge.
But Cheeb did say it was a "girly" kinda flick, so being the macho tough dude that I am....I really didn't have a chance of getting it.

YES Urg...
Well, for the first one anyhows...seems I had a few plot points mixed up with something else I must have watched around the same time, but I watched the trailer, and it WAS "made in heaven"
The second one looked very familiar, but I'm just not certain it's the film I was referring to...I might have to try tracking this down to watch and find out.
Thanks all.
