Sep 3: A Matter of Life and Death (1946) dir. Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger

This is a classic film - one of the greatest ever made, and another from Powell and Pressburger. It explores the boundary between life and death...

Here is the cover of the Criterion Collection edition.

The film features an airman during the Second World War, who is 'supposed to die' but somehow survives and meets the person who he spoke to in his last moments. 
He then has to make a case for being allowed to escape heaven for the time being as he has now fallen in love which he otherwise would not have done.

Here is the trailer for the film:
