Step into the ethereal glow of Ghost (1990), a timeless romance-thriller that’s still haunting hearts, especially with its upcoming 2025 anniversary re-release.  Patrick Swayze stars as Sam Wheat, a murdered banker who lingers as a ghost to protect his love, Molly (Demi Moore), with help from quirky psychic Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg, stealing every scene). Directed by Jerry Zucker, this blend of tears, laughs, and chills mixes pottery passion with a gritty murder plot, all wrapped in a ‘90s vibe.

Swayze’s tender yet fierce spirit and Moore’s raw grief make the love story soar, while Goldberg’s Oscar-winning turn adds comic relief—her “I’m having a heart attack!” moment is iconic.  The effects (that shadow hand!) hold up with nostalgic charm, though the pacing dips in the middle. Critics loved it (88% on Rotten Tomatoes), and its 7.1/10 IMDb score reflects enduring appeal. Perfect for a cozy night or a nostalgic binge, this film’s mix of heartbreak and hope still resonates. Grab tickets for the re-release and let Sam whisper through your soul!
