Good ghost movies?

I'd recommend The Innocents and The Orphanage off the top of my head. The Innocents is the very best ghost story that's ever been made imho.

:)
 
That was pretty good if I remember. One or two disturbing scenes, too!

Like:
The man who gets raped by the one of the ghosts

The Amityville Horror (either version...both are good) and Amityville II: The Possession
 
An American Haunting (The Bell Stone Witch) freaked me out abit - i cant remember if it was based on true life events or not.

(Donald Sutherland & Sissy Spisak leading parts)

strange strange movie :D
 
I had watched many movies of all genre. The most I like is romantic movies. Also have watched many ghost's and horror movies. And among that i liked "Silent Hills". It was a real scary movie. It feels like you, yourself are indulged in there.

Nice movie.
 
Umm, whilst High Plains Drifter is certainly a ghost story, Pale Rider isn't really. Some say it's based on Jesus's resurrectiuon but Jesus didn't come back and kick ass after rising from the dead.

As no one has mentioned it yet I'll add "The Frighteners", which is a good film and much scarier than you expect a Michael J Fox comedy film to be.
 
I could list hundreRAB of movies that scared me half to death when i was a child, but now I'm a "less impressionable" adult there are still a few that manage to still give me the creeps and some newies:-

The Woman in Black (which i think is being remade into a film starring Daniel Radcliffe)
Ghostwatch
The Shining
A Tale of Two Sisters
Ringu
The Orphanage
The Others
Session 9
 
I would avoid this not because its gory, but because its aweful. The only good scene is the very begining. Poor film IMHO. What was funny though was the man who asked me afterwarRAB if it had been a true story lol.

I would say Poltergeist, The Entity are classics
 
According to imdb.com
When Stockburn arrives in town, Coy La Hood describes the Preacher to him. Stockburn appears unnerved and says quietly, "That man is dead," perhaps hinting that he had killed him or watched him die before. Clint Eastwood revealed in interviews that his character is in fact a ghost.

Strangely I seem to recall reading that Eastwood suggested his character in High Plains Drifter was simply the dead Sheriff's brother.

Still, that's what I like about those movies. They leave it up to the viewer to decide.
 
Dozens of ghost or haunted house type movies made in the 1970's and 80's; many were made for television.There is something really atmospheric about many of them.

The Woman in Black
Don't Go to Sleep
Crowhaven Farm
Burnt Offerings

Are some of my personal favourties.
