    Ghost is not at all scary.

    Movie about a man (Patrick) who is murdered and he has to come to terms with being a ghost. He uses a medium (Whoopi) to communicate to his partner (Demi.) A very moving love story. The shadows still share me.

    It's quite unbelievable to think that this film is 18 years old. It made such an impact during it's arrival in 1990 that there can't be many people left who haven't seen this classic.

    These are the type of films you can watch over and over and know most of the lines (Willie L...( read more)opez - 303 Prospect Place....) yes I think I've seen it too many times, but still manage to spot something different each time.

    Patrick Swayze, already having made stardom through his role in Dirty Dancing was familier to us, but it was Whoopi Goldberg, with her comical input that really livened this film up.

    Of course this is one of those films where whenever 'Unchained Melody' is played we automatically think of the potter's wheel scene.

    This movie was somewhat obviously flawed but ultimately rich and romantic, the plot was pretty original, and the casting was good...

    Everybody thinks Whoopi's Oscar was a mistake because she is, after all, well... Whoopi. But, for me, she's the only element of this movie that is worth our time and money. Her performance may not be perfect but she is enjoyable and compelling. Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, two ...( read more)of the most awful and hideous actors in film history, are cute enough for the first part of the movie... when Swayze dies, the movie dies. And the only sparks of life come from Whoopi and her wacky, hilarious performance.

    The most inane attempt to cash in, is when you have "Tear-Jerking Gold and then exchange it for Tear-Jerking Copper!"

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Contains some nice ideas, and occasionally, for whole moments at a time, succeeds in evoking the mysteries that it toys with. full review

    Starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and best of all, Whoopi Goldberg. One of the best film's of it's time. Romantic, thrilling, funny and touching.
