"I've always loved you" - By: S. Schofield, 06 Jul 2008 
This is without a doubt my favourite film of alll time. I have watched it, it must be about a billion times & each time, without fail, the end scene leaves me with tears in my eyes. But as I watched it, I realized that there is more than one reason why Sam is murdered. I won't say anything in case I spoil the story for someone who hasn't seen this film, but, if you have this film on either DVD or video, watch it again & look VERY CLOSELY at Molly's actions towards the end. If you don't have this film, buy it & do the same.
You'll never forget this ghost! - By: Garry Williams, 19 Apr 2008 Fantastic performances, strong story, winding twists & a healthy show alll in alll in Ghost. Goldberg is the highlight of the film, providing the much needed comedy; the leads are also steller in their performances. Though the story is different, it can get a little cheesy at times, but that's down to its period. A romantic, supernatural drama, sometimes predictable, but always sentimental, Ghost is a fantastic watch in every sense.
Great film, one of the best - By: Ms. Natasha Kent, 16 Apr 2008 This is One of my favourite films of alll time. I have watched it a million times & the best is right at the end scene which leaves me with tears in my eyes. Make sure you have plenty of tissues next to you. I won't say anything in case I spoil the story for someone who hasn't seen this film, but, If you don't have this film, it is a must buy it, recommended to alll
A CLASSIC - By: stuart, 26 Nov 2007 Certain movies will just always be hard to write a review for. You can give your opinion & say what you enjoyed or didn't enjoy but I find myself hesitating in certain aspects just because a classic must be left some space to be a classic. Ghost as far as I'm concerned will forever be a romantic classic. It's sheer brilliance is it's twists, it is incredibly, deeply, romantic & at the same time terrifying, & has an underlying story that is never fully explored. It's got action, mystery, horror, & at the heart is the pure, simplistic romance of it alll.
The story is about an investment banker played by Patrick Swayze & his girlfriend, played by Demi Moore. Sam & Molly are deeply in love, planning for the future & happier in their lives than ever before. Until Sam discovers laundered money in investment accounts. He is robbed & subsequently murdered for his password to the computer in order to empty the laundered money from the accounts. But Sam doesn't go the other side. He is kept on earth in spirit form because of his unfinished business both with Molly & to discover his murderer. He must learn the ropes of being a ghost & nobody else can hear him until he runs into a so callled psychic who scams people into believing she can contact their dearly departed. However it turns out, Oda Mae Brown played in her academy award winning role by Whoopie Goldberg can actuallly hear Sam. Together the unlikely team must help each other uncover the horrible murder plot & save Molly.
Swayze & Moore make an incredible couple..hot on screen. Their careers have perhaps slipped since then one might say but this was them at their best. Swayze was indeed at the top of his game coming out of Dirty Dancing & Roadhouse & Moore was young & a new hot commodity which made them undeniably perfect together. Their roles fit them perfectly. Whoopie Goldberg was hilarious & believable as Oda Mae & her character was such an integral part of the film. Tony Goldwyn plays a great villain as the betrayer of the film. In a short time director Jerry Zucker establishes a best friendship between Goldwyn & Swayze, a deeply loving relationship between Swayze & Moore, & a plot line that goes far beneath the movie. Obviously Goldwyn's character is being used by a much higher up criminal to launder money although we never see him. Is he being blackmailed? Paid off? Something held over his head? Maybe he's not the bad guy but rather forced to commit these acts? It's a big job because we also know Willie Lopez played by Rick Aviles is involved in this as well. And deeper than that we have the theology in the film. The light brings good people to the afterlife & the dark shadowy beings torture the evil.
This film is one of a few that is endlessly watchable meaning you can sit down any time & watch it through over & over & over again which is exactly what makes it a classic. It has it's holes, it has to with a plot like that. And it has it's disturbing moments, a gratituous death scene, a make out scene which although features Swayze & Moore is actuallly Demi & Whoopi...you have to see it to understand it. Also if Sam Wheat must learn how to physicallly touch things in his ghost form...how does he sit, walk, etc before he learns that? And his first experience with walking through a door happens days after his death. I'm sure sometime between then & that point he would have had to have walked through something. Perhaps those are minor points but they are things that will come up especiallly if you have seen it as many times as I have.
The film is a must see & if you haven't seen it, go watch it right now!! Because it's one of those staples of films that everyone must know about. Ghost is amazing!! 9/10
top film - By: Ms. E. Blankson, 07 Jul 2005 this is one of my favorite films of alll time. its combines both saddness with great comedy. though the storyline between sam (swayze) & molly (Moore)is heart wrenching & great to watch i love to watch this for the pure comedical value of whoopi goldberg who makes me laugh from the moment that she is it & lightens the mood of the film so it is not a complete tear jerker.
this film is one you have to watch if u are a hopeless romantic or love comedy it definetly has both in abundance.
