After renovating their expensive loft in the TriBeCa section of Manhattan, Molly (Demi Moore) and Sam (Patrick Swayze), a young successful yuppie couple, are walking home one evening when Sam is tragically gunned down by a street mugger. Molly goes into a deep depression, but, unknown to her, Sam has come back as a ghost in order to protect her from danger--although he isn't yet aware who or what means her harm, and he has a lot of learning to do in order to make himself known to her. He teams up with an unwilling psychic, Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg), and together they try to convince a very skeptical Molly that Sam was actually murdered and has returned spectrally to complete some unfinished business. Moore and Swayze and are excellent as the couple, and Goldberg won an Oscar for her portrayal of the wild and wacky psychic. GHOST is considered by many to be one of the most romantic films of the 1990s. [More]

Reviews for Ghost
a deft blending of comedy and suspense, with some impressive special effects that are incorporated into the film instead of being the center of it.
A great supernatural thriller and romance. Clever ghost effects, and a believable story about mourning and the afterlife.
A touching supernatural romance, highlighted by Whoopi Goldberg's comic Oscar-winning support.
Call me corny, but I really dig it. Not without its flaws, "Ghost" still boasts drama, comedy, romance and a bit of the spooky stuff to boot.
