Occult movies
I'm searching for some good occult movies and i'd like to know if you have any suggestions.
Movies almost purely for entertainment, a la Bless the Child, Faust: Love of the Damned, The Prochecy, Constantine, or movies with more original plots (Nods to Ninth Gate) are welcome. This also includes movies like The Crow.
I'm looking for any sort of movie dealing with romantic notions of Satan, Satanic cults, demons, angels, nephalim, death, and anything else that might go here.

The Exorcist and its sequel, Exorcist III: Legion.
Meet Joe Black stars Death, and What Dreams May Come concerns the afterlife.
Moreover, Wishmaster 3 features a ridiculous cameo appearance by the archangel Michael. That movie's a terrible one, but Constantine and The Prophecy aren't exactly Academy Award materal either, so I thought I'd suggest it.

There's a cult movie I saw a while back 'The Sin-eater', with Heath Ledger and Shannon Soshamon - very interesting storyline (although it's probably not directly related to what you're looking for).

Still, if it's the one I think you're talking about (I saw it in Spanish), Sin-eater is an excellent movie.
One of my favorites.

People don't look at how much occult history Ghostbusters has in it. The Babylonians belief system, Gozer, and even the mention to the death cult of Ivo Shandor is within the same particulars as The Ninth Gate.

The Gates of Hell--warning, this movie, while about the occult, is fucking stupid.
The Seventh Seal. Now that's a good movie.

Yeah. That's an excellent suggestion. I love that movie. Plus you can't go wrong with Kiefer Sutherland.

I can't believe I forgot.
The Darkness w/ Lena Olin and Anna Paquin.
The plot was bleh and some of the actions of the people were unmotivated and unexplained, though.
