I've got to step in and defend "Truly Madly Deeply." The premise follows the outline of the folk archetype where the lover thinks he/she wants to die to be with the beloved, and that lasts until he/she grasps the yuckiness of death. He is called back by the depth of her grief (and I couldn't for the life of me understand, for the first hour, why I had found it in the comedy section) and has a mission to gently nudge her back into life.

Wife of Usher's Well and all that.

"Sixth Sense" well, I'd better not give anything away.

Ed Wood just plain couldn't be bothered to learn his craft, which is why we who feel lazy too much of the time find him so endearing.
