Earth Angel

One of my favs from the 90's. I saw this late one night in the mid nineties in NY around 1am on ABC 7. I was touched by the movie. Very nice concept. A nerd is a loser, but somehow the best girl in school likes him and then a tale of lost love.

This was a joy to watch. It has BIG name starts from the 70's and 80's doing a made for TV movie which has disappeared from television.

It's about a ghost who died on her prom day. It's about the classic nerd who somehow has a date with the hottest girl in school. But it is not meant to be as it is a love lost, but found 30 years later.

Very nice movie. As a macho guy, this was touching. This is a nice movie to watch alone or with a girlfriend. I found the characters, the story and the plot very engaging. You can relate to characters in the movie easily, and you do root for them.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! 10 out of 10! Done before? Yes, but never gets old.

"Earth Angel" is a classic TV movie, the urban legend of the prom queen who dies in the 50's or 60's (as is the case in this movie) takes a drastic romantic-comic change instead of being a horror story, the result is amazing. The film is wonderful with a very positive touch, the script is quite compelling, the light-dark cinematography is very good, the performances are quite funny and cute, the costume and hairstyle designs based on the 60's are well done. A classic from TV movies.

I accidentally found this movie on a tape I had recorded in 1991 while at college, and finally watched it in 2004. The storyline is weak, but not overly obvious. Has a couple of older stars near the end of their active careers. Erik Estrada is as weak as ever as an actor, and Cindy Williams just can't re-ignite the old time flavor that distinguished her in the 1970's. A few new actors, but mostly a bunch of pretty faces. They take a nice 1956 Chevrolet Belair Convertible in the beginning, and smash it into a tree. The car is brought back to life in the early 1990's (though the cars and attire are more like the mid-1980's). From a classic car's viewpoint, they hit the tree quite hard, and probably bent the frame....hard to watch a classic piece of iron get creamed! An average fun movie, with a few old cars, 50's lingo, and classic attire.

The story is unoriginal, and the acting is bad. The main character playing the ghost is too much silliness and annoying. I couldn't take anymore of it and stopped watching halfway through. Many people have given it positive big ratings, perhaps its because of the cars and music, but the film is just daft. What kids made that?

Ok it's a B grade, with some now more famous stars. Acting is sub par, but I've always liked these types of movies. But whoever was in charge of the audio should never work in movies again. Background music, birds, etc drown out almost all of the dialogue. All the banging and slamming was ridiculous. The sax playing was so loud, almost shut it off then Was nice to see some of the 70s stars and a young Krause. Hamill was his usual horrible self. The cars, wardrobe are worth the watch of this TV movie. But it's too much like Many other movies to be one of my favorites. One watch and done for me.
