George Michael heading towards the top of the album charts is surely proof of an afterlife? No? I’m yet to be convinced, although people I credit with some sense keep telling me they’ve seen ghosts, so what do I know?

Believe in such a thing or not, the idea of an afterlife has cropped up a few times in films, from drama to horror with the occasional bit of humour thrown in. I’m nabbing A Matter Of Life And Death to kick off. It may be one of those films you’ve never got round to seeing – and it is terribly, terribly dated my dear – but I recommend you rectify that.

What films featuring an afterlife would you recommend ?
