Seeking Info on Excellent Ghost Movies - Maggers - 01-31-2005
It's not at all scary, but there's the lovely, old black and white movie with Rex Harrision, "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir." I like stories about falling in love with ghosts.
I remember reading an incredible book when I was about 13 or 14, called "The Tryst." I don't remember who wrote it, but I LOVED IT! A young woman falls for a ghost and they try to make it work. Man, I'd love to find that book again.

I also liked House. I liked House 2 also but don't remember it as much as the first.
How about the movie Almost an Angel with Paul Hogan. Not strictly speaking a ghost movie, but......
Has anyone mentioned Beetlejuice?!?

Considering what the IRS did to Willie Nelson, the bank job wasn't too far fetched.

Hey, you make three, I believe it's starting to snowball! The first was definatley the better of the two.
I aslo metioned Beetlejuice in my origenal post, sounds like we like some of the same movie.

Maybe there are some out there that I should catch, too. Don't think of current films only. On my start list below, you'll find an old one that's unexpected!
Here's some I find to be excellent:
The Others
The Sixth Sense
The Haunting
Field of Dreams
The Time of Their Lives (a hilarious Abbot and Costello comedy that is one of their best movies)
I think I want to add THE RING to this also, but, I tell you, this flick scared the crap out of me for some reason. I've only been able to watch it once and sold off my DVD of it, the thing creeped me out so much. I'm not sure why, really, since I have watched films more intense. This one just takes the cake for me personally on fright. The images stick with you long after the film is over.
Some might suggest I put GHOST on the list. That's certainly worth consideration. Anyone want to take on its defense? It's got a brief and little-known apperarance by Mike Jittlov in it to go in its favor! (He played the demon-ghosts at the end who took the villian off to hell.)
I also watched the version of THIRTEEN GHOSTS with Tony Shaloub. I heard a lot of people disliked this. It had a certain appeal, and I was interested in what others thought.
Open to your comments and suggestions, please! Thank you!

This won't help at all, Sean, but back in 1978 I was living in Brockport. Our house was deserted over the Easter (gosh, pardon me, Spring! holiday), so I had the joint to meself. I like being alone, but I didn't like being alone after seeing a late-nite horror flick on channel 3. All I can recall, it was a Spanish-language flick with the best ghosts I've ever seen: they had ghastly grins on their faces and would =float= across this primitive jungle to go into the town to do their evil work. Not a good description, I know, and I don't know how to track it down. But God--that was a scary flick, even though I had to strain to read the subtitles!

This rings a bell so far back in memory, but it's to far back with not enough info to call up the memory. Damn!

A long time ago, I saw "Always". It was uneventful. Actually, I haven't quite impressions....

Maybe this site can ring a bell for you http://www.latarnia.com/castiliancrimson.html It lists a lot of Spanish horror films current and back to the 40's.

Are we talking about the same movie? With the bombers and forestfires, this movie actually brought a tear to my eye.

Yes, it's same movie. Bombers? I can't remember....As I said, I haven't quite impressions. Maybe, I was too young, so I guess I couldn't understand this movie's impression.
The reason of your tear is Smoke gets in your eyes? :p
