Only, during the dictation, the two fall in love, and there can be no happily ever after you when one of you is an incorporeal phantom. They bicker at first, but the captain warms to her, and dictates his soon-to-be-best-selling memoir to Lucy so she can buy the cottage with her proceeds and live happily ever after.

In the early 1900s, independent young widow Lucy (Gene Tierney) moves with her daughter into a seaside cottage, which she discovers is inhabited by the salty ghost of a blustery sea captain (Rex Harrison). The sweet, haunting story hinges on the heartache of impossible romance. It's a strangely adorable, bubbly blood bath. Seven cheerful schoolgirls take a summer trip to a haunted house that devours them one by one, in ways that are weird even for a Japanese horror movie. Miss out on the LSD craze in the '60s, either because you were too straight-laced, too young or not yet born? The good news is you can replicate that experience without putting your health at risk by watching this surreal acid trip of a Japanese horror movie. Night Shyamalan could never quite replicate that first success, maybe it was because he set the bar too high. The brilliantly executed thriller got six Oscar nominations, including one for Osment (who was just 11) and one for best picture, and raked in a worldwide gross of over $670 million. Osment plays a troubled young boy who can see the dead, and Bruce Willis stars as the child psychologist who tries to help him. "I see dead people." That line has been so often parodied since a very scared Haley Joel Osment first uttered it 15 years ago that it's easy to forget what a phenomena this film - and the impact of that line - was when it was released. Here are 10 of our favorite ghost movies, from those polite spirits of "Ghost" to the more malevolent forces of "Poltergeist." But between poltergeists, possessions and disturbed Indian burial grounds, yeah, they can be pretty terrifying, too. Ghosts, too, can love and play and make us laugh - they used to be human, after all.
