My Winner:

Casper (1995)

Directed by Brad Silberling

Rated PG

Who doesn’t love watching movies about ghosts! When it comes to Ghostbusters, I don’t, but Casper makes me enjoy ghost movies. Casper, a kind young ghost, peacefully haunts a mansion in Maine, until James Harvey arrives to communicate with him and his fellow spirits. Harvey brings along his daughter, Kat, who Casper falls in love with. Their relationship is complicated by Casper’s transparent state and by his troublemaking uncles and their mischievous antics.
