Amazon.co.uk Review
The biggest hit of 1990, IGhost/I is part comedy, part romance, part supernatural thriller. Patrick Swayze, previously best known for IDirty Dancing/I, 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. p IGhost/I'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. p BOn the DVD:/B Though well restored, DVD enhancement has only served to emphasise the slightly quaint feel of the special effects here--IGhost/I was made just prior to the digital era. Otherwise, this is a good package and an essential purchase for fans. There's a 22-minute featurette, "Remembering the Magic", in which scriptwriter Bruce Joel Rubin explains that the film was inspired by the scene in IHamlet/I in which the Prince meets his Father, and how initially appalled he was that his masterpiece of the supernatural was to be directed by Jerry Zucker, previously responsible for IAirplane!/I. They also reveal that Tina Turner was originally cast for the Goldberg role. Zucker and Rubin team up for a funny commentary track. --IDavid Stubbs/I

 Why did I believe the 5 star rating? Horribly disappointed. January 5, 2009
This film creaks like old bed springs,I could hardly believe that it won an Oscar for Best Screenplay-it has not aged well.The dialogue is stilted and simplistic- it also felt like a film for young teenagers ,with caricature "goodies" and "baddies" and a juvenilia of special effects that look pretty prehistoric.br /Moore is wooden, Swayze just plain ugly in my opinion.Goldberg is mildly amusing, but the joke with her is worked into the ground and soon becomes threadbare.br /What a waste of money! It's going straight to the Oxfam shop.
 Unbelievably Good October 17, 2008
Ghost is an amazing film, it is the only film that has ever made me cry, and I assure you, that never normally happens. I don't know what else I can say that other reviews haven't already. Amazing film.
"I've always loved you" July 6, 2008
This is without a doubt my favourite film of all time. I have watched it, it must be about a billion times and each time, without fail, the end scene leaves me with tears in my eyes. But as I watched it, I realized that there is more than one reason why Sam is murdered. I won't say anything in case I spoil the story for someone who hasn't seen this film, but, if you have this film on either DVD or video, watch it again and look VERY CLOSELY at Molly's actions towards the end. If you don't have this film, buy it and do the same.
You'll never forget this ghost! April 19, 2008
Fantastic performances, strong story, winding twists and a healthy show all in all in Ghost. Goldberg is the highlight of the film, providing the much needed comedy; the leads are also steller in their performances. Though the story is different, it can get a little cheesy at times, but that's down to its period. A romantic, supernatural drama, sometimes predictable, but always sentimental, Ghost is a fantastic watch in every sense.
Great film, one of the best April 16, 2008
This is One of my favourite films of all time. I have watched it a million times and the best is right at the end scene which leaves me with tears in my eyes. Make sure you have plenty of tissues next to you. I won't say anything in case I spoil the story for someone who hasn't seen this film, but, If you don't have this film, it is a must buy it, recommended to all
