The richly entertaining Ghost touches on themes of love, loss, and revenge as it merges the genres of romance and supernatural thriller. Directed by Jerry_Zucker, one member of the team that came up with Airplane! and The_Naked_Gun, the film manages to stay away from mawkishness; instead, it achieves a surprisingly affecting level of emotion. Offering something for everyone, the film has an afterlife story to placate those less interested in the romance between Demi_Moore and Patrick_Swazye, and a romance for those left cold by the supernatural elements. Whoopi_Goldberg gives her hack-psychic character a near-perfect mix of comedy and dramatic gravity; she took home an Oscar for her spirited supporting turn, as did Bruce_Joel_Rubin for his original screenplay. Matthew Doberman, Rovi
