The biggest hit of 1990, Ghost is part comedy, part romance, part supernatural thriller. Patrick Swayze, previously best known for Dirty Dancing, stars as Sam, the banker who is killed following a mugging. Caught in a limbo between here and the afterlife, he uses Whoopi Goldberg's fake psychic as an intermediary to warn wife Molly (Demi Moore) that his death was no accident but a murder and that she is in danger too. Ghost's original popularity and notoriety originally arose not from its dealings with the supernatural but the scene involving Moore fondly astride her potter's wheel fashioning a somewhat phallic-shaped vase, with Swayze fondly astride her. So infamous did this scene become that it's now more likely to raise a chuckle than a sultry sigh. As for the rest of the movie, it still somehow manages to engage despite the awkward juxtaposition of lachrymose melodrama and zaniness. Demi Moore, whose massive Hollywood success was always a mystery to some, is a little flat as the tomboy-coiffed Molly, her tears occasionally seeming onion-induced. Swayze, however, delivers as Sam while Whoopi Goldberg turns in the best performance of her career, delivering the requisite zip and sass to what otherwise might have been a morose movie.

Ghost
Ghost Is a lovely romantic film with sadness but also some comedy.

A classic movie, made even better on Blu-Ray
Ghost is a modern classic. Patrick Swayze portrays the role of a too-soon departed lover aided in his attempts to communicate with the Living by Whoopi Goldberg, resulting in a moving but very funny film. The quality of this presentation is excellent, with superb quality sound and an excellent transfer to Blu-ray of the film itself. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to watch this again, with the experience heightened by the excellent quality of the disc at an unbeatable ZavviI price. It's highly recommended.
