80s Classic!

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 2006)

What can be said about this movie thats not been said before?!...probably nothing to be honest, but I am such a fan of the movie I want to give the film the 10 star rating it deserves. At its best its possibly the wittiest script ever produced from Hollywood, with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and the beautiful Sigourney Weaver all on top form. Bill Murray does steal the show with some of the best dialogue and one liners you will hear in a comedy. Everything about the movie is likable, the stories fun, the script and dialogue is pin sharp, the direction is spot on, the eighties special effects are top drawer and still look impressive to this day (give and take a couple of dodgy moments), the actors all give excellent performances from the A listers right down to the smallest of supporting roles. As a child the movie scared the s#*t out of me, but now watching it as an adult its just a wonderfully enjoyable timeless classic which is to be respected when you compare it to the total c#*p that comes out of Hollywood these days. The eighties were a time of fantastic blockbusters from Back to the Future to Raiders of the Lost Ark. I'm Glad a grew up in that cinematic era, but for me out of all the wonderful movies to come out of that time, Ghostbusters is by far my favourite, its the movie I will always go back to and stick in the DVD player and watch again and again....Anyone who has not seen it should head down to the local DVD store and buy a copy, not rent, BUY a copy as you will watch it many times over I'm sure. 10/10 TOP CLASS!
