I collect spores, molds and fungus

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 1999)

How can anyone not like this film? This really is a classic. Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and let's not forget Ernie Hudson are superb. Admittedly I must confess that I am slightly biased. I was two when this was made and therefore I have grown up with it. Some of my early memories involve Ghostbusters. I officially got the video for my fifth birthday, however I snuck an early look at my birthday presents and pinched the unwrapped video, which means that I have been watching this film for twelve years through bad times and good times. Whenever I was glum it was there to cheer me up. Whenever I was bored it was there to entertain me. It's mix of comedy, fantasy, sci-fi and horror means that there is always something new to pick up on and to enjoy especially when watching the original widescreen version. Which leads me onto the superb DVD. I live in England and import many DVDs from America but none have ever excited me as much as the Ghostbusters one. The remastered widescreen print, the 5.1 channel sound, the live commentary, the deleted scenes, the OK OK I'll shut up now. I like, no... I love this film, if you haven't seen it - watch it - you will love it too. If you know someone who doesn't like it spurn them, mock them, if you really must then sympathise with them but most of all, the single most important thing is - try and convert them.
