I believe it's magic...

What can I say, the greatest film of all time? Probably not, but it holds a special place in my heart.
I remember the first time I saw it. I'd been waiting all summer. My sister had seen it, my friends had seen it, i'd seen the music video...I HAD TO SEE THIS FILM!
It looked like the film would leave the cinemas before I got my chance to see it, when one night after a visit to a restaurant with my family we walked past the beauty that is the Holloway Odeon.
'Do you wanna see Ghostbusters?' asked my dad. He didn't need to hear the response. Would we make it in time for the last screening? Yes! We were actually allowed to go in whilst the preceding screeing was playing. It had already got up to the Ecto on the Brooklyn Bridge shot by then. We watched it all from there, and then watched the entire film again from the beginning. I was seven years old and that was the moment I fell in love with cinema.
The comedy/horror ever? Maybe (though American Werewolf In London comes close too). Certainly the most successful. The DVD release was an absolute godsend for any Ghostbusters fan and I thank the good people at Columbia for putting so many fantastic extras on it.
The greatest film of all time? I'm waiting for the 'Return of the King' to come out before I can say for sure, though I can't see how it could possibly be anything short of excellent.
10/10
