From Barry Jenkins, comes this James Baldwin adaptation.

8. ‘Ghost’ (1990)
Not too many movies manage to successfully combine broad comedy, melodrama, romance, thriller, and paranormal themes, but Ghost does it and does it extremely well. Whoopi Goldberg makes the movie, but Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze, and Tony Goldwyn are excellent too. With its theme of love transcending death, this is a deep movie by any means. But the movie does what Hollywood can do so well when it puts its mind to it — make you laugh, make you cry, and transport you to another world for a couple of hours. You just haven’t lived until you’ve seen that scene with Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze, and some messy clay.

The movie is an Academy Award nominee and charming. It’s warm, funny, and thoughtful. It’s a basic “Boy meets Girl”, they hook up the first night that they meet, they’re not supposed to be together but they end up together in the end despite the odds.
