Meet Joe Black

Bill Parish, head of the multi-national company, 'Parish communications', has been having heart attacks and has been hearing voices lately. His daughter, Susan is romantically involved with Bill's new business associate, Drew. His other daughter is planing Bill's 65th birthday party. One family dinner, the voice tells Bill that he is waiting at the door. Bill asks his maid to check and see if anyone is there. It turns out there was someone there, who turns out to be death. Death asks Bill if he can host his vacation, and in return Death will give him more time to live. Death has taken the body of a young man Susan met at a coffee shop, and she recognizes him as the young man. She is disappointed though that he does not act the same way he did the morning at the coffee shop. In spite of this, Susan and Death (Who has told the family his name is Joe Black) fall in love and 'get together' at Bill's house. Bill is enraged when he discovers that Joe and Susan are in love and tells Joe to back off. Meanwhile, Drew is trying to get bill to partner with john bontaque, head of another communications company. It's soon clear that Drew is merely trying to get Bill to partner with Bontaque so he and Bontaque can sell it off peice by peice.

Continuity mistake: When Brad and Claire leave the cafe at the beginning of the film, and part company. Brad walks to the corner and turns around to look at Claire from a distance. Notice that an extra wearing a pink shirt walks behind Brad once and then again 2 shots later.
