Another rather new film is 'The Correspondence' by "Cinema Paradiso" director Giuoseppe Tornatore which describes a technology based post-mortem relationship between two astrophysicists. Not that great film but raises a lot of thoughts on the meaning of death in the digital era. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3530978/
