^^ I agree. Last time I watched Ghost was a couple of months ago, and the ending still makes me cry even if I've seen it so many times.

Very ditto. Every time it's shown on TV I try to catch it.

That movie brings back memories of one of my worst dates ever!! The movie was the only redeeming quality of that night!

His age was fine in Ghost, but it was in Dirty Dancing that he was too old for the part. I don't know his actual age in that movie, but he looked about 30.

They were awesome together in that movie. "I'm Henry the eighth I am!"

Whoopie really was awesome as Oda Mae.

Just the idea that one's dearly departed are still around you
was such a comforting idea and worked out so sweetly in that movie.

I especially liked this exchange:
Sam: Molly, you're in danger.
Oda Mae Brown: You can't just blurt it out like that! And quit moving around, because you're starting to make me dizzy. I'll just tell her in my own way.
[pause; then, to Molly]
Oda Mae Brown: Molly, you in danger girl.
