A friend was trying to tell me an 80's movie that he loved, but he couldn't remember the name. He said it was a drag racing film set before the 80's. The leading guy is killed in a race and his lover girl ends up marrying the other guy that he was racing when he dies. The rest of the movie is about him coming back - not so much as a ghost, but more like in spirit or something. Can anyone help me find this movie???

Thanks!!!!!!!

The movie you are talking about is The Wraith, starring Charlie Sheen. Here's the IMDB link to the movie:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092240/

BTW, this movie is one of my 80's guilty pleasure movies, and I LOVED it as a kid. None of my friends know what I'm talking about when I mention this movie to them!

Actually, this movie might be "The Heavenly Kid".

Hmmm, come to think of it, Valley might be right about The Heavenly Kid...when I read the initial post, enough of the description seemed to match The Wraith, but now that I think about it, the description matches The Heavenly Kid better.
