Classic 80's comedy

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2009)

Probably the comedy film of the 1980's, Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis star as three down and out ex-college professors who decide to go into business hunting and catching ghosts in the city of New York.
The true sign of a classic comedy is one that still makes you laugh, no matter how many times you've seen it. And this still makes me laugh to this day and I've seen it an awful lot! Featuring a brilliant concept and script from Akyroyd and Ramis, seamless direction from Ivan Reitman and dazzling special effects, the film is a very funny fantasy comedy with a wonderful supporting cast including Sigourney Weaver, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts and Rick Moranis. However the stand out performance comes from Bill Murray as the deadpan Dr. Peter Venkman who, depending on whom you believe and what you read either, improvised some fantastic one-liners or improvised everything he did in the movie.
A comedy classic 10/10
