I have once seen a movie (or a TV episode, but probably not) with the following plot:
In the beginning, a reporter is making a story on immortality and does interview with a an elderly couple who claim that they can live forever by moving their souls into new bodies. Later, several tragedies happen to him and his family that derail his life and put him into depression. In the end, he finds out that the couple he interviewed are actually capable of stealing bodies as long as soul of the victim is broken and not ready to fight back. So all things that happened to him were part of their plan to use him as a new body for the husband's soul. There is no happy end.
It is all I remember as I watched it 10 or more years ago. I tried several queries on IMDB and Google, but no luck. I am not sure about country where it was made — most probably it is USA, but potentially might be UK/Europe.
Can anyone identify the movie in question?
Best Answer
I think the film you were looking for is Eternal Evil (AKA The Blue Man) from 1985, starring Winston Rekert and Karen Black. From an online synopsis:
The plot focuses on Paul (Winston Rekert), a filmmaker whose last documentary explored a couple’s use of astral projection and their continual survival by possessing the bodies of those whose spirits have been expelled.
And the ending, from another online synopsis:
Paul has been selected for Janus's new body, as the Amelia body is tubercular & worn out. Before a resident soul can be cast out, however, that person must become isolated & in despair.
If you're after some visual confirmation, search for "Eternal Evil" on Youtube. The entire film is there (and the sinister couple in question is indeed old).

Answer 2
The description reminded me of The Skeleton Key with a couple trying to steal a body, but not everything fits so probably not what your looking for
Answer 3
It sounds a bit like Being John Malkovich where a large number of people would live on inside a person's head when they die.
Although it's not 100% accurate to what you are suggesting, it is the first thing that popped into my head.
