Meet Joe Black (1998)

Plot: Joe Black (Brad Pitt) and William Parrish (Sir Anthony Hopkins) enter into a most unusual gentleman's agreement. Wealthy media tycoon William Parrish leads a charmed existence until Death comes calling with an extraordinary proposition, he'll delay William's imminent demise in exchange for a tour of life. Innocent, enigmatic, and often hilarious, Joe disrupts William's world of privilege and corporate intrigue. But when he falls for William's beautiful daughter, Susan (Claire Forlani), Joe threatens to change the rules. Now William must fight not for his future, but for those he loves in this bittersweet tale of life and death.

Alternative Plot: Bill Parrish (Anthony Hopkins), businessman and devoted family man, is about to celebrate his 65th birthday. However, before he reaches that landmark, he is visited by Death (Brad Pitt), who has taken human form as Joe Black, a young man who recently died. Joe and Bill make a deal: Bill will be given a few extra days of his life, and Joe will spend the same time getting to know what it's like to be human. It seems like a perfect arrangement, until Joe falls in love -- with Bill's daughter.
