Customer Reviews: I Like This Movie!March 9, 2004 buffy--angel--charmed--fan(,) This is a good movie and I think Alyssa Milano from Charmed was super and so was Sir John Gielguld (Not sure if I spelled his last name right.
If you are a fan of Alyssa or John Gielguld you will probbaly like this movie too!
The John Gielgud/Alyssa Milano Version!February 5, 2004 Calinira This is not the old 1944 Charles Laughton Canterville Ghost movie but the 1986 modern retelling of the story and it stars John Gielgud, Alyssa Milano, Ted Wass and Andrea Marcovicci and is about an American family who inherit an old English castle that is haunted by a ghost who does not want to share his house and trys to scare them away but he discovers that the young daughter of the new owner is not afraid of him and soon they become friends and she wants him to scare off her new step-mother. I thought that this movie was really cute and it had a great cast, especially John Gielgud and Alyssa Milano and I highly recommend this movie and I'm hoping that it will be put on DVD! FYI: The Canterville Ghost is based on a story by Oscar Wilde.
What a great movie!January 3, 2003 Patrick K. Harding(Endicott, NY United States) I also remember watching this movie as a child. Every once in a while our local TV station would play it (always on Sunday afternoon). Charles Laughton does a wonderful job as the Ghost. Robert Young and the very young Natalie Wood delight the viewers as well, thus contributing to the production of a movie that you can play for the entire family...even today! I recommend it highly!
Best film Ever Made!May 24, 2000 Miss Lisa Lee(Devon, England) I saw this film on English Tv when I was 6 I loved it and for about 5 years we had half of it on tape though I could still remeber all of it, I eventually got it and I must say it is fantastic and I will always be A fan of Sir John Gielgud, I would recomend this wonderfull film to anyone I met. I have wanted this video for over 15 years but it hasalways aluded me, until now. At Last I have a copy even if it is American and does not play properly on my English video recorder, I would never part with it for anything in the world.
Best movie of all timeMarch 31, 2000 Brockie(Bath, UK) The Canterville Ghost WAS my childhood..I have watched it so much and never tire of it..the quotes from the movie are like those from Starwars..me and my brother would constantly use them. "Deeds of blood..Murder! Walk abroad" I never knew Alyssa Milano was Jennifer until recently..this really is a great cast..Guildgud (sp) is the unrivalled star and makes the movie for me. He is superb..he really puts in depth to his character. Turning him from a tyrant, to a sad ghost with hints of comedy thrown in. I don't think it's that scarey..I was 8 when I first saw it..I was more scared my 'Polterguiest' at the time..but when you're a kid scarey movies are the best movies to watch. Everyone should own this and everyone should watch it. It's a classic.
