Running time: 02 hours, 07 minutes

I love Ghost. I have done since I was a kid. I can't remember the first time I saw it, I just know that I spent most of my childhood being scared out of my wits by Willy Lopez and the mad subway ghost. They still creep me out now.The CGI hasn't aged well, the demons from below are brilliant examples of something that was the height of sophistication (and child scaring) in the early 90's but now will just make you chuckle.

It's almost guaranteed that I will develop a serious case of 'something in my eye' around the first "ditto" and will be in floods of tears by the final goodbye.

The saddest bit about Ghost? The realisation that my childhood dream of marrying Patrick 'King of the Mullets' Swayze will never come true. I guess it's back to my original plan. Move over Miss Piggy, Kermit is MINE.
