If you loved The Love Bug, try Blackbeard's Ghost

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Blackbeard's Ghost has roughly 4.2× fewer votes than The Love Bug — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Robert Stevenson, and they sit in Comedy / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Love Bug, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Blackbeard's Ghost is

Apparently ghosts make good housemates. Blackbeard's spirit is summoned to help his descendant. It achieves a predictably silly outcome.
