If you liked Ghost, try

BingeNext's take

If you’re in the mood for a film that blends romance, fantasy, and thriller elements in a way that keeps you hooked, Ghost from 1990 is a great pick. It’s about a young man who, after being murdered, sticks around as a spirit to protect his lover with the help of a psychic who’s not exactly eager to get involved. Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore bring a lot of heart to their roles, and Whoopi Goldberg adds a memorable touch that lightens the mood without losing the story’s emotional weight. Watching it feels like being pulled into a mysterious love story where the supernatural adds tension and hope all at once. If you enjoyed movies like Twilight or even Casper, this one hits a similar sweet spot between romance and the otherworldly, making it perfect for a cozy night when you want something touching but with a bit of suspense.
