Who You Gonna Call

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2016)

One thing I like about re-watching movies from my childhood is the fond memories it brings back. "Ghostbusters" did that and it was definitely one of my favorites.
All of the characters are great but my favorite remains Louis Tulley (Rick Moranis). Rick Moranis has since disappeared from the silver screen (not until after making the "Honey I Shrank the Kids" movies) but he left an indelible mark upon this movie. He was so obliviously nerdy it was hilarious. Added to that was his puppy dog attraction to the more suave and sophisticated Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) which made his character even more likable. He so wanted to impress her with his odd habits but could never seem to win her over.
And of course who could forget the theme song by Ray Parker Jr.? I think the line "Who you gonna call?" was mentioned in pop culture repeatedly at the time.
"Ghostbusters" is just a fun, family-friendly movie that can be enjoyed over and over.
