Poll: Favorite Life Mulligan or Life Do-Over Movie

A poll by urbanemovies
NATIONAL MULLIGAN DAY is celebrated annually on October 17th.

Movies with a life mulligan themed plot share the same premise, but each is uniquely interesting and worth watching. The main characters in life mulligan themed movies are dissatisfied with their lives. However, they get the unique gift to see how things would be if their lives had turned out differently. Although the premise is the same, the paths and plot devices used to achieve the awakening and the actual life mulligan vary. In the end, they return to their original lives knowing the grass isn't always greener and are much happier for it.

Which of these select movies whose plots have a life mulligan or life do-over theme is your favorite one?
