    This was Steven Spielberg's attempt to make a more grown-up fantasy, after he was criticised for pandering to the child in all of us with ET and Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's effectively an update of the Spencer Tracy film A Guy Named Joe, with Richard Dreyfuss as the firefighter pilot who returns from the dead to watch over the love of his life (Holly Hunter). Best pal John Goodman steals the show, and Audrey Hepburn (in her last screen role) gives him a run for his money as an angelic guide, while both Hunter and Dreyfuss just manage to stave off the syrup to produce a romantic tale of everlasting love.

    Sentimental remake of the 1944 movie A Guy Named Joe (qv).

    A feelgood Chick Movie

    Although on saying that, it is one of my favorite films and one I can watch over & over. At turns happy and sad and with a nail biting climax, this is a 'Ghost' for the over 40's.

    A good story and one that you will enjoy always.

    Bertram Pincus. Who else but Ricky Gervais could do justice to a name like that? Bertram is a British dentist in New York. A bone fide misanthropist, you have to say he’s in the right profession (and the right city). Social interaction is kept to a bare minimum. If anyone does try to get too chatty he tells them to open wide and leaves them hanging. As movie dentists go – compared to Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man or Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors – he’s an... Read more
