Movies about ghosts or with ghosts in them

[arcadian]

White Noise was pretty good, kind of like Ghosthunters but scarier. Any others?

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. I liked "The Others"

That was a pretty interesting plot.

[fishwax]

10. that's the one that pops first to my mind as well

Very good movie--reminded me of Henry James's Turn of the Screw.

2. I'll let Wikipedia do the work for me...

:P

[arcadian]

3. This thread is over!

:P

[ghostsofgiants]

4. Actually that list is totally not complete. Ghostbusters 2 but no Ghostbusters?

What the dilly, yo?

It's weird though, you'd think I'd be able to list movies off the top of my head with ghosts, because I love ghosts, but I can't, haha. I will suggest A Tale of Two Sisters though. That is a good'n.

[cemaphonic]

25. That list can't be right. Does this look like a ghost movie to you?

I like "The Changeling."

Hmm, the list also appears to be missing "Don't Look Now," which while not precisely a ghost movie, is structured exactly like one.

[ghostsofgiants]

26. Okay, so maybe The Shining is a heartwearming family picture, but the rest are all ghosts.

:P

[hobbit709]

6. The Ghost and Mr. Chicken

[Orrex]

Beloved
Kiss Me Goodbye
Ghost Dad :evilgrin:

[khashka]

8. Truly, Madly, Deeply

A great love story. He dies, she can't let go. he comes back, they briefly relive their love, then he tries to make her dislike him so she can get on with her life. Great movie.

Khash.

[PassingFair]

9. Sounds like MY relationships...

without the dying part.

[MissMillie]

20. I like that movie very much

Alan Rickman is tres sexy.

[noel711]

37. That's one of my favorites...

and it's more than a ghost story...
has themes of rebirth, and life victorious..
the dignity of the disabled..

and great cello music... if you like that kinda thing.

[nytemare]

11. Poltergeist still kicks ass.

After all these years.

Come to the light, Carol Ann!

[Hobarticus]

12. Devil's Backbone....scared me witless

A real slow burn, but damn, when del Toro wants you scared, he comes at you like a freakin' spider monkey.

[Orrex]

34. del Toro is an incredible director

And he has remarkable stylistic range, too.

[XemaSab]

13. The 1963 version of The Haunting was pretty good...

the 1999 version SUCKED.

[Skittles]

38. I don't stay

not after it begins to get dark.......:scared:

[raouldukelives]

14. The Changeling

[ceile]

32. George C. Scott?

I thought I was the only person EVER who had seen that movie. Excellent! Very scary. Very psychological-I think that is why I love Japanese "horror" now days. (couldn't take a bath for months)

[BlueIris]

15. "What Lies Beneath" has a creepy ghost story in it.

I think.

[raccoon]

16. "Ghost," "Topper." nt

[Deep13]

17. Below--very creepy.

[yellowdogintexas]

18. even Wikipedia is not perfect: "The Canterville Ghost"

classic old ghost movie starring Charles Laughton.

Leave us not forget all movies based on the Works of William Shakespeare which also feature Ghosts!

Hamlet
MacBeth
Richard III
come to mind most immediately

[Montauk6]

19. Does "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" count?

[MissMillie]

21. A Christmas Carol

:hi:

[PRETZEL]

22. No one mentioned Casper The Friendly Ghost. n/t

[Lautremont]

23. The Orphanage

Very spooky!

[myrna minx]

24. I watched the Orphanage last weekend and really enjoyed it.

It was well written, constructed and acted. It was one of the better "scary" moves I have seen in a long time.

[Rhythm]

27. Who ya gonna call??

[Symarip]

28. THE ENTITY

Still scares the holy bejeesus out of me. It's like The Excorcist times a gazillion plus Brazil.

[Orrex]

33. Not to mention a nude full-body prosthetic of Barbara Hershey, you pev

[terrya]

29. "Beetlejuice"

[RFKHumphreyObama]

30. "Ghost"

Quite obviously:)

[Jade Fox]

31. The Uninvited....

An old movie from the 1940s(?) that is great.

[Orrex]

35. Ghost Rider

:rofl:

[noel711]

36. The old, original, black and white "The Haunting"..

based on the Shirley Jackson novel "The Haunting of Hill House."

Julie Harris and Claire Bloom, young and beautiful.

But NOT the recent version with Catharine Zeta Jones.. yuk!
