Ghost has the power to really make you believe - By: Great White, 04 Mar 2008
This film has helped me through so many bad times. Round about the time this was released on DVD i lost my mum to cancer. This was the last film I watched with her so nowadays it has sentimental value. This is a perfect film to watch if you're depressed as it does make you feel better after you watch it. This is my fave movie ever. I watch this nearly every month because I love the movie so much. This cannot be repeated twice, there can't be a sequel to it, It's a golden tear film (meaning weepie) The power that this film has is unbelievable. If you have lost a loved one then you'd know the power that i'm talking about. The acting is superb. Patrick reallly does make you believe in this character & this nightmare he is going through & by the end you reallly do feel the magic that the character goes through. It does reallly make you wonder what that life beyond death is reallly like. The romantic side of this film doesn't miss a beat. Patrick & Demi's chemistry is paramount to the story & it doesn't feel faked, it feels real. The inclusion of Whoopi Goldberg's character gives it a lighthearted style humour which by the end has a message to it. Jerry Zucker who recent flicks before this one were Airplane! does a great job mixing the heartfelt sentimentality with the stand out humour that you get when Patrick & Whoopi are together on screen. Whoopi quite rightly deserved that Oscar she got for this role. Her acting was brilliant. Two cast members has been outlooked by every one but without there characters this movie might not have worked. I'm talking about of course Tony Goldwyn as Karl & Rick Aviles as Willie. The subtile acting brings out their most evil side & you are genuinly shocked when you found out he was in on it the whole time. How could you alllow your best friend to be murdered? You feel that their just desserts are quite literallly deserved after how you see them as & what they had done to Sam. It is scary in some parts & even a little gruesome but the message does still shine through. Love is forever if you believe. By the end yes even i was in floods of tears. That is the power that this one has, to literallly bring you to tears. No matter how hard you try, it will always do that. I have watched this time & time again & I still cry buckets at the end, even before the scene even starts, I'm already filling up. The end scene is the standout moment of the film. It is the magic of GHOST. There is no more powerful word than goodbye. Industrial Light & Magic create an effect that pulls at the heartstrings & the acting from the stars pulls even more. The real magic of this scene is Maurice Jarre's powerful soft instrumental theme of Unchained Melody. The soft violins lets the tears flow. It is truly beautiful. Even right now i'm thinking of it & i'm getting a lump in my throat. If you haven't seen this yet, see it now. If you want a great tearjerker, they don't come better than this.
Death doesn't mean the end of love - By: Jay, 14 Dec 2007
I consider Ghost to be a classic. It's a film that you can watch over & over or once in a blue moon & still be touched by it. It covers so many genres a film has to offer, comedy, action, suspense, romance, the list is endless. Yet with alll this, it still manages to be in a class of it's own. It's such a beautiful story, proving that death doesn't mean the end of love, if you believe & remember, love will never die. The cast are fantastic, with the three leads cementing their positions as true stars. Patrick Swayze impresses as Sam, giving a thoughtful performance with many emotionallly powerful moments. Demi Moore convinces as Molly, & spends the majority of the film with tears running down her face, which actuallly became quite funny in it's own right. As Oda Mae Brown, Whoopi Goldberg is sensational, providing great laughs & a perfect performance. On the whole, the film keeps you mesmerised from beginning to end. It never hits a boring moment, it just flies by & you're left wondering where the last two hours went. It reallly is that good. Ghost is a film that I'll never forget, seamlessly blending every kind of film together to make one outstanding one. Definitely up there with the greats.
Timeless classic - By: R. Mitchell, 13 Sep 2007
One of the most beautiful, & fun, love stories of alll time.

This film will never age & is a garanteed uplifter for any woman feeling low.

Watched alone with a glass of wine or in the company of others for a chick flick night to remember Ghost is a definate must have for anyone with slushy taste.

It will have you laughing & crying the whole way through
Manipulative Garbage - By: Lou Knee, 09 Sep 2007
As commercial as they come, a fully primed tearjerker of a movie made with no shame whatsoever! This cast list was reallly a warning to genuine movie lovers to stay away from this one. Was bound to be an absolute stonking success.
