Ghost (1990)

Ghost (1990) is a tender, suspenseful blend of romance, drama and supernatural mystery. After banker Sam Wheat is murdered, his spirit remains on Earth, powerless to interact with the living but determined to protect his lover, artist Molly Jensen, and uncover the truth behind his death. Realizing the danger comes from betrayal by someone he trusted, Sam enlists the help of Oda Mae Brown, a brash, reluctant medium who unexpectedly can hear him. Watching the film you’ll move between moments of quiet intimacy and sharp suspense: romantic scenes that underscore Sam and Molly’s deep bond, a pulpy whodunit as Sam tracks his murderer, and comic relief from Oda Mae that keeps the tone buoyant even as stakes escalate. The supernatural elements are treated emotionally rather than philosophically — the movie focuses on grief, unfinished business, and the lengths one will go to protect the person they love. Expect an emotional ride with laughs, chills, and catharsis: tense confrontations, a few iconic, heartfelt scenes that stick with you long after the credits, and a satisfying resolution that ties together love, loyalty and justice. Ghost delivers both a tearful romance and a gripping suspense story, anchored by strong performances and a memorable blend of humor and pathos.
