It's a shame that such movies have faded into memory. No cursing. No killing. Just good family entertainment. Thank you.

This is a beautiful version. Sir John Gielgud makes a wonderful Sir Simon, and there is great chemistry between him and Alyssa Milano. Thanks for uploading.

Totally agree. Sir John Gielgud is one of our finest actors, and this version is the very best of all. Such a wonderful, funny, but sad story.

I recorded this film on VHS back in the 80's when I was living in Aberdeen Scotland, the nostalgia, thanks for sharing...

This is the best version of the tale by far

All these old English castles in rural England is so rich in history. Really love this movie.

Love this movie. Saw it around Christmas time in 1986 while I was a freshman in college. I was driving the school shuttle bus to make extra money picking up fellow students on campus and dropping them off at the airport for the start of winter break. In between my shifts, I settled into a comfy recliner in the student lounge in our dormitory lobby. This movie happened to be playing on the large flatscreen, and I couldn't help but get totally engrossed in it. After watching for about an hour, I had to go back to driving my shuttle bus in the icy cold of that windy and snowy December day. But that movie always stuck in the back of my mind after all these years. It's nice to have found it on the Internet over 30-years later so I can finally see it in its entirety. Thanks for the upload!

I'm glad I finally got to see the whole movie! Alyssa Milano did a really good job playing that teenage girl who understood Sir Simon!

Brilliant! What an honour to be acting with Sir John Gielgud - a great Shakespeare actor! xx

This is my favorite production. The entire ensemble cast was brilliant. I love Mrs. Omney & her explanation of Sir Simon, I laugh every time.

My favorite version of The Canterville Ghost. Loved Sir John Guilgud.

No disrespect to the great Sir Patrick Stewart, and I was a teenager in 1996 so his version was closer to my sensibilities when I first saw it. But Sir John Gielgud absolutely nailed the ghost in this 1986 version. In the decades since I've seen both I often confused Gielgud being the one on the 1996 film.

Thank you so much for posting this! My most favourite movie and in THIS version! It was wonderful to see it again after 30 years!

Movie of my childhood!!! I love this!!

Sir John starts with well-cooked ham Ac-Ting but this is Americans he is dealing with, you know. Marvellous voice, of course: the finest of the twentieth century.

I love this movie! It was my favorite when I was a little girl! It brings back some great memories of being with my grandma. Thank you for putting on your channel!!!

I have seen a few versions of this story by Oscar Wilde. I enjoyed reading the book and still split my sides laughing over the antics of the Ghost. It is a timeless and hilarious story.

Some of Gielgud's best lines, Oscar Wilde's best poetry, and fine acting all around. Thanks for uploading this; I've wanted to see it again forever!

I think this is the best version ever, Thank you for sharing!

the scene between Simon and Eleanor was particularly touching - such a fantastic show of emotions with very little dialogue - true talented acting

I just love this movie, it brought me back 30+ years ❤❤❤❤❤

I now own a copy of that movie and it still is my favourite version of the story.... Although the ghost and Jennifer have a great performance here (although while watching it I cound't help but to hear Johnathan Harris' doctor Smith from Lost in Space...) I first saw it as a child living in the early 60's in Argentina. The version I saw was dubbed into Spanish for TV and I longged to have a hallway of painting depicting all of my ancestors... just like that movie had...

Oh my gosh same, I don’t know if it’s this one or the 96 version, but when I was really young (I was born in early 2000’s), I saw this movie and all I remembered was the bloodstain on the carpet. Seriously, I never remembered the name of the movie or anything else, but that was like... embedded really deep in my memories. Can’t believe it took me so long to remember it and search the web for ‘ghost movie with the carpet stain’ lol

I had this on vhs when I was a kid! I remember watching it dozens of times. The reappearing stain was fascinating to me, but I think maybe the young Alyssa might have been an early crush! 🤭☺️

This is delightful! I LOVE Sir John Geilgud & this was the very 1st time I ever saw him & instantly adored him. I wanted the Ghost as a Grandpa, I was like 8 yrs old when this came out! I also like the one with Ian Richardson & Sir Patrick Stewart, but this is my very favorite! Oscar Wilde was a GD GENIUS! 🥰

Movies are never as good as the original book, this was very entertaining for what it was and Sir John Geilgud worked his magic brilliantly.

Love this film, plenty of likeability about it,!!!

This is an adaptation from the story, but both are excellent. Wilde poked fun at Americans in his story, very funny. This movie and the 1944 version with Robert Young and Charles Laughton are the two I like. They made one with the American characters from the book, but I can pass that one up. This version is a joy just to see Sir John Gielgud as the Ghost. 👻

Now I ain't sayin' she's a gold-diggle, But she messin' with a broke Canterville. I forgot how sad the ending was- hits ya right in the feels. :)
