Flatliners poster

Why people love it

Flatliners (1990) stuck because it commits to its drama premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Joel Schumacher's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The drama and science fiction blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
