     Ghost Story??  Surely, you must mean Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze.
     
     How about Unforgiven?  Rear Window? The Maltese Falcon?

        Thanks. The only common element I can find in those movies is lots of snappy dialogue. I like movies that are fun to watch, and wisecracks are my favorite form of humor. I read somewhere that wisecracks are uniquely American. I don't know whether it's true, but I hope so.
