"City of Angels" (1998) starring Cage-olas Nick, and Meg Ryan
On the face of it this is a story about how great love is. But it is (probably unintentionally), a story about the making of a demon.
Nick is well cast as an emotionless angel (Seth). During the course of the movie, Seth becomes obsessed with Meg Ryan's character. By the end, he decides to "take the fall", to give up his role in eternity to spend a lifetime with Meg.
This is a refreshing take on evil. Evil is so often portrayed as a guy in a black hat, a laughing monster who delights in evil. Rarely do we see the true definition of evil: seeking what would be considered good - in the wrong way.
Genesis 6:2
Matthew 22:30
Revelation 12:4

I haven't seen it for a while, but I don't think Falling was supposed to be evil in any way, just a choice that angels could make.
