So, I just rented Ghost (I love Blu-ray on Netflix) and wow, I forgot how great the score was. Composed by the late Maurice Jarre, Ghost was his 9th Academy Award nomination. A well-deserved nomination. Funny though, how some tracks to me sounded so dated. Oh, the synthesizer of the ’80s. However, Ghost had some beautiful themes. Molly’s theme, as heard during the end credits, is a wonderful composition full of emotion. Touching and the perfect soundtrack for the heartfelt emotions of her character. The last scene of the film is another notable track, based on Alex North’s “Unchained Melody”, one of the most beautiful melodies of all time. Jarre’s orchestral version of “Unchained Melody” fits wonderfully in that final scene. I’m always moved by it, a great moment in cinema history.
