The perfect supernatural love story.

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2013)

Jerry Zucker, who together with his brother David are known for their spoof movies, directs one of the most popular and highly-acclaimed love stories ever: Ghost. Here, yuppie couple Sam (Patrick Swayze) and Molly (Demi Moore) are in love and happy together. On their way back to their apartment after a night at the theater, they encounter a thief and, during the botched robbery, Sam is murdered. While Molly is left grieving for Sam's death, their undying love keeps Sam's spirit on earth and he is determined to get to the bottom of his murder, which he finds out was no accident. With the help of psychic Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg), Sam must warn Molly of the impending danger.
This is one of those movies I would watch over and over again and it is still fresh every time I watch it. It's full of suspense from start to finish as Sam tries desperately to communicate with Molly from the dead, and as he tries to prevent the bad guys from harming her. Sam and Molly's love for each other give this film a dose of romance and features one of the most memorable scenes in cinema history: their love scene while the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody" is played in the background. Oda Mae Brown delivered this movie's much-needed comic relief, giving us a dose of her acid wit humor. And, add in the drama of Sam's mission, this is a multi-genre film that will endear an audience for years to come.
Swayze, Moore and Goldberg all did a great job in their performances, with an exciting story and plot by writer Bruce Joel Rubin and solid direction by Jerry Zucker. There is never a dull moment in this film; it's just fast-paced fun that will keep you entertained.
