Films About Ghosts (The Best of...) is a compilation album by American
rock band
Counting Crows. It was released by
Geffen Records on November 2, 2003. The album contains songs from their first four studio albums. The album takes its name from a line in "
Mrs. Potter's Lullaby": "If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts."
Later versions of this disc include "
Accidentally in Love", the Crows' hit single from the soundtrack of
DreamWorks Animation Studios'Shrek 2 (2004). The Dutch version of this album includes a new version of "Holiday in Spain", recorded as a duet with Dutch band
Bløf. The single, in English and Dutch, went number one in the
Netherlands, as did the album after the success of the single.
This album was released twice in Australia, the second release containing a DVD of live performances. A version with a second disc containing the Music-Video-Edited versions of "American Girls", "Mrs. Potter's Lullaby", "Angels of the Silences", "Round Here", "Daylight Fading", "A Long December" and "Mr. Jones" was also released in the United Kingdom.
