Ghosts have starred in many feature films and they do not have to be gory or scary. Here are some sexy spirits that we love:

Clockwise, from top left:

LAST CHRISTMAS: There are rumours that Henry Golding’s character in this upcoming holiday movie is a ghost because he wears the same outfit every time Emilia Clarke interacts with him. If he does turn out to be a spirit, we will not mind if he haunts us for life!

JUST LIKE HEAVEN: Life and love get tangled up in this movie that is based on a French novel. Featuring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo, the pair have sizzling chemistry as an architect who falls in love with the ghost of a woman haunting his apartment.

GHOST: Perhaps the most famous mystic romance of all time, Ghost was a major hit starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze when it was released in 1990. The sleeper blockbuster combined murder, supernatural elements and humour in a love story that touches viewers’ hearts even to this day, more than 30 years on.

A CHINESE GHOST STORY: This 1987 Hong Kong romantic comedy featured Joey Wong as a beautiful spirit who enchants the late Leslie Cheung. The film has a cult following in Asia and sparked two sequels as well as an animated film, a television series and a 2011 remake.

Three’s Company

Three is certainly not a crowd when it comes to these iconic trios on both big and small screens

Charlie’s Angels

With a strong influence over the years, these angels have spawned multiple remakes, with the latest starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska.

The Powerpuff Girls

Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles have kicked, punched and busted many bad guys on their way to the top.

Harry, Ron and Hermione

They fought off Lord Voldemort and squashed the dark forces together, but their most magical asset was their firm friendship.

We Bare Bears

Not your average teddies, Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear have talked their way into our hearts with their multitude of misadventures.

Luke, Leia and Han

Perhaps the most famous trio in the galaxy, Luke, Princess Leia and Han from the Star Wars franchise are the beating heart of the tale.

Pooh- Pooh Party

Brush up on these facts when World Toilet Day drops on November 19!

Smartphones have more germs on them than a toilet seat.

Modern toilets use six litres of water in a single flush.

Men take more time than women in the loo.

The average person will use the toilet 2,500 times in a year for about 20 minutes per day.

The first cubicle in a public toilet is usually the cleanest.

Before the invention of toilet paper, French royalty used lace.
