	Movies - Flatliners

Flatliners is a 1990 movie starring Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt as medical students experimenting with near-death experiences.

Tagline: Some lines shouldn't be crossed.

Some medical students take turns temporarily killing each other, then bringing each other back to life with the intent of simply "visiting" the Afterlife. They keep increasing the length that they are dead for, and eventually some of their perceived sins start literally coming back with them.

The title refers to the flatline state of an EKG or EEG at death.

This was Julia Robert's first role after Pretty Woman
. She's stated that of all the movies she's made, her time on this one was the most fun. It was on the set of this film that she met Sutherland, whom she almost married.

Hurley: Why should Nelson get all the glory? We should all do it. We'll be famous!

Labraccio: Yeah, they'll build monuments to you about this high that read "Rest in Peace"!
