Ghostbusting Makes you Feel Good

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2006)

Ghostbusters was one of my favorite movies that I watched over and over as a child. Ghostbusters is a funny, science fiction movie. It is difficult to find a film more funny throughout the whole movie industry. In the finale the giant marshmallow man comes alive. This is a scene no one can forget, especially with Dan Aykroyd, known as Dr. Raymond Stantz on the screen. Another scary scene was when Gozer appears in Dana Barrett's(Sigourney Weaver)refrigerator. Bill Murray, known as Dr. Peter Venkman, is great in this scene, as in every scene he is in. He has a dry, ironic sense of humor. He does not have to use words to express himself as a comedian. This movie has an impressive cast, and excellent special effects. I enjoyed this movie when I was a child, and to this day I watch this movie on VHS; and laugh again and again like I had just seen it, even though I know about every line by heart.
This movie has something for everyone. One was when Winston Zeddmore (Ernie Hudson) was recalling the Book of Revelation or another time when Dr. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) tells about the possessed apartment coming into being. Also, when the grid was shut off was a very frightening moment. All the Ghostbusters are unforgettable and humorous in their own way. They work very well with one another, which is what makes it the best of movies.
Manhattan is the heart of the subject due to the Gothic architectural grandeur of the city; it makes for the perfect setting. This movie's special effects look as great today as it did in 1984. It is more imaginative than most movies today. The shifting back and forth from comedy to the imaginative and ghostbuster thriller make it one of the best films ever in the hearts of many. It is impossible not to laugh,no matter how many times people see this movie. The audience can see the movie over and over again without tiring because of the comedy mixed with suspense. Rent or buy it soon, as it has truly held up as a classic and one of the biggest blockbuster movies ever made in the 80s!
