Total blast 
2008-09-27
A childhood of my generation would not be complete without the story of "Ghostbusters". This is fun madcap adventures dabbling into the mocked up world of the occult. Here are the classic lines and scenes in all their glory. It's a comedic blast that just has to be kept around.
A true masterpiece!

Peter (Bill Murray), Egon (Harold Ramis) and Ray (Dan Ackroyd) are college drop-outs create a unusual but successful business of paranormalist called "Ghostbusters" who uses proton-blasters and special traps to capture poltergeists and demons. Later a newcomer named Winston (Ernie Hudson) joins the squad, a lovely musician named Dana (Sigourney Weaver) lives in a apartment building that use to be the home of a cult of worshippers of ancient beings and it's haunted. Now a horde of spirits and demons with goblins appear in the city as the powerful Gozer will take over the world, now it's up the Ghostbusters to end it all.
Co-starring Rick Moranis and William Atheron, this movie is a brilliant mix of horror, comedy and fantasy all tied together in one serious crowdpleaser of a movie. This movie has became one of the greatest motion pictures ever and one of the most beloved yet successful movies of all time, it still holds up to many generations among kids to adults as it never grows old and remains fresh. The concept of the film itself is genius and has an H.P. Lovecraft-esque feel to it, the performances are just outstanding and the special effects still hold up in this digital age. I loved this movie since i was 3 back in 1985 when my mom bought me the movie and i became a fan instantly as i watched the TV show, collected the toys, watched the sequel in the theaters in 1989 and it's the coolest movie of that decade. The theme song by Ray Parker Jr. still remains popular today even at halloween parties and the film still delights audiences both old and newcomers alike, it's one of the most original and unique motion picture experiences ever.
This DVD contains great picture and sound with extras like Audio Commentary including an MST3K style video commentary, Trailers to this and other Columbia releases, Deleted scenes, Storyboard comparisions, conceptual art gallery, featurettes and photo gallery.
Back off man, I'm a scientist 2008-08-18
This film is at least as funny, if not more funny, as when it first aired in 1984. 3 parapsychologists of varied interest and sincerity discover there truly are ghosts. When they are kicked out of the university and forced to work in the private sector they are met with surprising success. It turns out a spirit assault is being leveled against humanity and these brave souls along with some hired help will stand against the forces of a nether world.
Some great lines include:
Back off man, I'm a scientist
Ok. So. She's a dog.
No human would ever stack books like this.
He slimed me.

Ghostbusters is still a silly, feel-good film I can watch over and over again. I must admit this supernatural movie used to creep me out when I was little but I like the energy the cast brings to the film. Bill Murray sure cracks me up, love his sarcasm and body language. Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver also bring great strength to the film. You've got to see this '80s classic, what are you waiting for... buy it today!

My 5 & 3 year old boys LOVED it, and now want to be Ghostbusters for Halloween. I wasn't sure they would like it as much as I did as a high schooler in the 80's....EXCELLENT!

Where's part three??? 2008-06-23
I love this movie!!!!!!!!
I love Halloween and ghosts, so of course I knew I'd like this move.
Spooky and fun without any being your typical horror gross fest.
Ghostbusters has a great story, great acting, and excellent directing.
What's not to like about this move?
It's fun, lighthearted, funny and is one movie I never tire of seeing.
It would be nice after all these years if they'd FINALLY make part three.
With the FX available now, I'd love to see what modern filmmakers would do with the franchise.
Highly recommended.
What did I expect...

I remembered watching this in a theatre.
I didn't remember all the 'spirit' issues that they deal with. Not what we need in this home!
If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call?

Ghostbusters! Directed by Ivan Reitman of Meatballs Starring Dr. Spengler (Harold Ramis) Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) Co-starring Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) Janine Melnitz (Annie Potts) Louis Tully (Rick Moranis) and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) is about four parapsychologists trying to rid New York of ... you guessed it, ghosts. This single movie produced some of the most used references today. And one of the most recognizable icons of the mid-eighties ... Slimer, A green blob ghost. This movie is quite charming and funny. The movie starts with three out-of-work scientists who form Ghostbusters in an abandoned fire station. From there they catch ghosts in hotels, subway stations, and a host of other locations. All leading up to a battle with Gozer (Slavitza Jovan). Gozer offers the Ghostbusters a choice: to choose the form of their doom. After clearing their minds, Ray thinks of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. This has become another icon created by this movie. Realizing their proton packs won't stop him, they decide to "cross the streams" I'll end my description there, but don't let my score of 3-stars fool you, this is an iconic movie that everyone will enjoy. But compared to some of the other movies released at that time, it could only earn a three. And if you've watched Ghostbusters, you'd might want to watch Ghostbusters II Ghostbusters 2 (Widescreen Edition)
"Yes it's true; this man has no dick." 2008-02-17
Academic parapsychologists (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis) find themselves out of work due to budget constraints. They ban together to form a company that to perform a badly needed service. They become ghost busters. We follow them from their humble beginnings to their meteoric rise to new heights.
On the way we see what may be a blooming love story staring a possessed Sigourney Weaver (of "Alien" 1979 fame). There is also a token appearance by the Staypuff man. And who is the key master.
Lost of fun classic that was a first of its kind. There have been many stories similar but this combination of characters and actors is unique.
Even today you hear "Who ya gonna call?"
Ghostbusters 2
