List of films about angels

This is a list of films where angels appear.

Angel films are sometimes discussed in relation to Peter L. Valenti's definition of the 'film blanc', a variety of fantasy film characterised by "1) a mortal's death or lapse into dream; 2) subsequent acquaintance with a kindly representative of the world beyond, most commonly known as Heaven; 3) a budding love affair; 4) ultimate transcendence of mortality to escape the spiritual world and return to the mortal world.' Angel films have also been discussed as the product of 'reform ideology' in early 20th century America; as sharing similarities with ghost films; and in relation to medieval art.
