Ghost Movies?

[BooBerry]

Just wanted everyone to vote on what they thought the best ghost stories were to date. I tried to make a good list to choose from but I'm sure I missed a few.

In my opinion, I loved Poltergeist and What Lies Beneath. Great supernatural stories that seemed plausible because of great filmmaking/acting.

PS - You can vote for all the ones you liked. And yes some where remakes, but still pick that movie for which ever version you liked.

[Joker]

Other,The Changeling.

[BooBerry]

Never got around to seeing that one but I've always heard decent things about it. I think its in my Netflix queue somewhere.

[K.I.N.G]

Shutter, The Sixth Sense, Into the Mirror...

[steelba]

Session 9 isn't a ghost movie.

[Vincenzo Incendio]

The Shinning (sic) ;)

[BooBerry]

The Shinning (sic) ;)

"Shhh, you want to get sued!"


God I hope someone else gets that joke. :ahheh:

[Galerian]

I'll go with Kairo. I just think it is a very effective and creepy film. Out of the list I'd say The Ring and Ju-On.

[BooBerry]

Anyone else seen Nomads? Fright had a review but the page isn't working. Was a pretty cool movie about ghosts and possession/reincarnation with Pierce Brosnan.

Am I the only one that feels Ghostbusters is out of place on that list, considering its comic nature?

Yes.

Actually I just added it because I needed one more before adding the "other" category and couldn't think of anything else at the time.

[koolmike]

Poltergeist

[skybrick]

The Fog and The Devil's Backbone are my favorite listed.

[koolmike]

Yeah...The Fog is right up there for me too.

[steelba]

The Fog and The Devil's Backbone are my favorite listed.
Both of those are really good.

[dead breed]

Of course my pick is Ghostbusters.

[slimeisacharacter]

Yes.

Dark Water, Dead Silence, Stay Alive?

To each their own of course. Its just that GBs just doesnt look right. *shrug*

[K.I.N.G]

My vote is for Ghost Ship, fuckin love that film.

[BooBerry]

Dark Water, Dead Silence, Stay Alive?

To each their own of course. Its just that GBs just doesnt look right. *shrug*

Raise your hands if you would have voted for Dead Silence or Stay Alive...

:2eyes: ... What? No one? That's crazy.



(And if you would have :stone:)

I love Dead Silence, so I guess I to be stoned:lookarnd:

[BooBerry]

Stoned... and perhaps beheaded as well.

[JerkyPuck]

I agree with Steel. As great as a movie as Session 9 is, it's not a ghost movie. It's about multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia. I guess you could label it as "internal ghosts".....

My vote is for Poltergeist, the best ghost film in history in my opinion, although the original version of The Haunting is close.

[Joker]

'Dont go to Sleep' is a gem,it's a made for TV Ghost fick from the 80's.:bigthumbup:

[koolmike]

I love the original "Univited" with Ray Milland.

[BooBerry]

I love the original "Univited" with Ray Milland.

Was that the one where the ghost keeps trying to rape the woman? :scratch:
And then they trapped the ghost and turned it into ice or something.

[koolmike]

No. The ghosts of a young girl's step mom and real mom attack each other. Step mom's ghost is trying to kill the child. Real mom's ghost prevents her from doing that.

[Slayer]

poltergeist hands down is the best ghost movie ever made.

[slimeisacharacter]

Raise your hands if you would have voted for Dead Silence or Stay Alive...

When the question is "what is your favorite ghost story?"... yea, I would choose one of those over Ghostbusters cause in my eyes Ghostbusters is not a ghost story like the others of the offered list. *shrug* My opinion of course, to each their own.

:shakehead My mom would call you Bitchy Longstocking. The majority of the films are more or less horror, so I figured I'd just put this in the Horror section.

But personally I don't just consider Ghostbusters a comedy, but What Lies Beneath a drama. If you want to nitpick over the title of the poll, I never said "What's your favorite scary ghost story?".

[JerkyPuck]

Bam! He got told. Go Boo! :cheerlead:

[K.I.N.G]

:die:

[JerkyPuck]

Give me a kiss King.

Really? Bitchy? A bit harsh isn't it? Wasn't flaming the poll or taking any cracks at anyone. It was a simple question that I thought was a relatively civil discussion point. But thats alright. I'll revert to the "not another poll" and "wtf did you post this" type posts these kinds of threads usually generate if thats what you are baiting me for. If anything, I aim to please.

[Snuggle]

I voted other. The Changeling.
