I've seen it maybe 27 times

Sounds obsessive but there is something about this movie. I guess one enjoys living in it for a while. It's probably my favorite. The characters are rich, and the message is great. Disappointing to find out Rubin, according to Ramis, is Zen Buddhist because it so affirms the values in Christianity. We even used it as a backbone for a bible study in my church's middle school class.
How many Christians have felt they were in a twilight zone experience waiting to progress, while having to undergo tests that improve character? The movie shows that. Sometimes works are larger than their creators - because no matter what Rubin believes, the movie does refer to God when Phil looks up to the sky after poring over the dead man.
