Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!!!

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2003)

GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) **** Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis, Ernie Hudson, William Atherton, Annie Potts. Blockbuster comedy masterpiece by funmeister director Ivan Reitman about three nutty paranormal NYC college scientists who set up shop in a suddenly spectre plagued Big Apple and find their one client to be living in "spook central". Great special effects and hilarious teaming of Murray, Aykroyd, and Ramis (Venkman, Stanz, and Spengler to you!) who share the comic gifts of, respectively, Groucho Marx, Bob Hope, and Bud Abbott. Originally written in mind for John Belushi as Venkman. Great lines: "We came, we saw... we kicked its ASS!" "He slimed me!" "Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!" "Your mother!" "MotherPussBucket!" "I love this town!" and of course the film's tagline "Who Ya Gonna Call?"
