Title: Looking for....
Post by: Willows on October 30, 2018, 12:26:53 AM
I love the song "I'll Be There" by the Escape Club. It was used as the theme song for a "teen angel" type movie, where a guy comes back to earth years after dying to save his daughter. I have tried to research this, but cannot find the name of the movie. Anyone know?

@Willows , can you tell more about the movie.  Was it set in the present day?  What was the father saving his daughter from?  Did the father come back as a ghost or in human form?

It starts in the 1950's, a high school guy agrees to a "chicken" race at the local ravine with another guy who wants his girlfriend. The guy dies. His girlfriend eventually marries the other guy, even tho she still loves her dead boyfriend. Turns out she was preggers with his kid at the time and the other guy offers to take care of her now. Fast forward 16 years later, his daughter (he didn't know his girlfriend was preg) is in similar trouble, so he is brought back as a ghost only she can see to help her. He is still at his high school age, while everyone else aged of course.

You know, your typical teen angel type movie. But it was a good one. And I loved the theme song. I think it came out in the late 80's, early 90's.

@Willows , I copy and pasted most of your post in a search box, and this is one of the hits:  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089265/  A movie called "The Heavenly Kid".  The description sounds just like what you described.  Is that it?

Hmmm....yes that is the movie. But the song I like is not listed as part of the soundtrack.

OH well, thank you for finding that for me anyway!

the best is find a way to re-watch this movie and see if it is really playing in the movie or not. sometime brain can do tricks
