Movies that feel likeGhost (1990)

After a young man is murdered, his spirit stays behind to warn his lover of impending danger, with the help of a reluctant psychic.

If you loved Ghost, the closest films we have are Underworld (2003), The Holy Mountain (1973) and Insomnia (2002). All three share Ghost's dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Miracle Mile (1989).

Both are built on the same subject: love

Forced to face the cruel side of life, a devastated, bankrupt merchant chances upon the enchanted castle of a hideous creature, the mere sight of it chills the bone to the marrow. There, a fate worse than death awaits the poor father-of-six, who, after plucking a sweet-scented rose from the repulsive master's verdant garden, must do the impossible: permit his compassionate daughter, Belle, to take his place and pay for the sins of her parent. Now, an impenetrable mystery shrouds the haunted mansion, and, as repugnance gradually turns into affection, only true love could break the spell.
