Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Whoever thought of having evil's final manifestation take the form of a 100-ft. marshmallow deserves the rational mind's eternal gratitude.
Fresh: This movie is an exception to the general rule that big special effects can wreck a comedy.
Fresh: Essentially a $30 million version of Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy but not at all a bad time, thanks mainly to Bill Murray's incredibly dry line readings and director Ivan Reitman's maintenance of a moderately coherent tone and plotline.
Fresh: As entertaining today as it ever was, a classic to be treasured by all.

" I think he can hear you Ray"
Ok. Now. I'm not sure how someone can rate this lower than 4 stars. This movie defined a genre. I have found that quoting almost any line from this movie out loud, there is always someone who can say the next one. Personally, my number one movie of all time. Why? 1. because it stands the test of time. You can watch it any year and all thats different is what the citizens are wearing. 2. Its GHOSTBUSTERS.....if you grew up in the late 80's, early 90's and you did not own some kind of Ghostbuster toy or plastic proton pack,..then I have no idea what your parents did to you, but I am sorry. 3. The Cast. 4. The Crew. 5. I would bet any amount that anyone over 13 knows who 'Slimer' is. 6. Known in film schools as the movie that was your 'run of the mill'(being a film that makes a few million more than what it took to produce)...but around day 3 after release and not to mention VHS/DVD sales. The people have spoken. Point being. If you havn't seen Ghostbusters, then you should. Its really good.
Who ya gonna call...GHOSTBUSTERS!!!
I LOVE this movie! It's funny as heck (putting it mildly) and there are very colorful characters. Not to mention it has awesome special effects.

One of the classic films of the 1980's. The humor is great along with the slime and apparitions in abundance. Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, and Bill Murray are a great cast for this ghostly movie. When you view this movie your spirit will tremble with excitment. You can't beat a classic. One of my favorite scenes in this movie is when Bill Murray's character (Venkman) lightly knocks on the wood of the table that Harold Ramis (Egon) is inspecting with one of his tools then Venkman picks a book as he says Egon's name in a spooky manner that suprises him after dropping the book. Enjoy comedy fans
