Corrected entry: In the scenes where the angels gather at the beach to watch/listen to the sunset, they are casting shadows on the sand. However since they don't have "bodies," there shouldn't be any shadows from them.

City of Angels (1998)
Corrected entry: Seth exclaims that he sees color when he sees his blood as if he had never seen color before. Are we to believe he couldn't see color and yet says how beautiful the world is a few times before becoming human. This is also a problem since angels aren't supposed to feel emotions.
Correction: He's an angel, intangible. Light isn't. He didn't see the same way we do. It's comparable to Pleasantville when the door turned blue. They all agreed that it had always been blue, but now it was *blue*. Seth could always distinguish one color from another, but until he became human he couldn't really "see" color. Also, being able to acknowledge the beauty in something doesn't have to be a matter of emotion.

Corrected entry: One of the fundamental points in the plot is that humans have free will but angels do not. If angels didn't have free will they would not have the choice to fall from grace.

Correction: It's never stated in the film that they don't have shadows, so this supposed mistake is based on entirely unsupported assumptions.
