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: The plotting may be primitive, but it's all carried off with far more style and finesse than one might expect from the creators of Animal House and Meatballs.
Fresh: On balance, Ghostbusters is a hoot. It's Murray's picture, and in a triumph of mind over matter, he blows away the film's boring special effects with his one-liners.
Fresh: "Ghostbusters" is like romping through Disneyland's haunted house with Bill Murray.
Customer Reviews
CLASSIC
They just don't make them like this anymore. This is comedic writing and performance at its peak... with quotes that everyone knows and enjoys. From "This reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole in your head" to "Symmetrical book stacking. Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947" to "Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you! " this is a CLASSIC movie!
No human being would stack books like this
Ghostbusters is a true classic comedy that stands the test of time. And now available in HD.
An important film.
This movie is so goddamned good that if someone tells me they hate it (or even that they "don't like it") I instantly decide to never speak to them again. I mean, usually I will have to finish out whatever I happened to be doing with them at the time with a forced smile because it is impossible for me to be outwardly rude to people. I wish I had the gall.
