one of the funniest movies ever.

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2003)

***POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD***
ghostbusters was and still is arguably one of the funniest movies ever made. The story is silly, but wonderfuly silly. The script is full of classic one liners (and occasional dialoge that only Arkroyd seems comfortable saying). The cast are perfect for their roles, its ironic the Murry was only brougnt in due to the death of J Belushi who was originally cast as the lead as his performance is the best of the four. What this film benefits from most is physical comedy, the old rule that something is funnier shown rather than said can be proved simply by watching this film. When Egon comes across the guest watching him in the hotel corridor while looking for 'slimer' and he gives the guest a little 'prod' before he carries on to check he is real still makes me fall off the sofa laughing twenty years on. Ever funny moment is backed up by four great comedians who know that to make someone laugh its not just what you say it's the way you say it and what you do while saying it that really counts.
