You wanna get hold of the novel "Replay" by Steve Grimwood, I think, about a guy who keeps dying of a heart-attack, at c. 55, then coming back to life prior to this age, a bit older each time, and getting to re-live his life over, trying a different career, tack, wife, etc. each time. Each time he's equipped with the knowlege he's amassed from previous lives (so, e.g. he gets rich on the Kentucky Derby). Each time though he equally manages to screw up his life.

I thought it was a brilliant story, like "Groundhog Life" and I can't figure why it's never been a movie. Check it out.
