You're Right. No human being would stack boxes like this. . .

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2002)

I knew a guy who once said that the only thing wrong with this film is that it wasn't the highest grossing movie of all time. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this film. The timing is perfect, all the actors are on the ball for the duration of the film, and the effects, for their time, are unparalleled. But it's not just that the film is well-made and technically proficient, it's also that it's obvious that a lot of time and energy went in to actually making it great. It's obvious from the opening at Columbia University that everyone involved with the production is having fun, and they want us to have just as much fun. Luckily, it works. I have never seen a film that is more fun, not to mention endlessly quotable, than "Ghostbusters." It's become a film that people go back to again and again for the simple aim of enjoying themselves. It's a film that makes people feel good and have a good time. Of course, this also extends to the film's life outside the cinema. Nine times out of ten, you can make a person born in the 70s or 80s crack up laughing simply by saying "Important Safety Tip," or "It would be bad," or "If someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!" There are hundreds of other quotable lines from the film, but hopefully you get what I'm aiming at. The film is a joy to watch, and is one that you'll want to rewatch countless times.
