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."
