1984 Directed by Ivan Reitman
After losing their academic posts at a prestigious university, a team of parapsychologists goes into business as proton-pack-toting "ghostbusters" who exterminate ghouls, hobgoblins and supernatural pests of all stripes. An ad campaign pays off when a knockout cellist hires the squad to purge her swanky digs of demons that appear to be living in her refrigerator.

A movie with no emotional core, no character arcs or growth. No one learns anything. It’s not saying anything. It shouldn’t work but somehow it’s perfect. No one has been able to replicate it and they should stop trying.

Ghostbusters more than any other film highlights the growing devaluation of public-sector jobs at the hands of privatized for-profit entities operating for mercenary reasons. The protagonists of this movie spend their time removing unwanted, unpaying residents from spaces they occupied their whole lives (and longer) and placing them into a form of prison at the behest of the current owners who can get more rent from more affluent persons and don't like the neighborhood being 'brought down' by those now-undesirable who lived there first. Not only that, but budget cuts have forced the New York Public Library to retain the dead as current employees, cutting into what should have been their final retirement, and the entire crux of the film…
me when i hear the tiniest noise while tiptoeing at 4 am in the kitchen for some shredded cheese: who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS
Very glad they included the ghost sex scene, felt that definitely added to the plot
Who ya gonna call when you see a fuckin' ghost? You call the mother fucking Ghostbusters! A scared-as-fuck librarian. Extreme-electric-shock-therapy. A legitimate phenomenon. One ugly-as-fuck ghost-bitch. Lewis the pimp. What the fuck is in Ripley's fridge? A cool-as-fuck commercial. A bug-eyed receptionist. Venkman doesn't act like a scientist. Those iconic-as-fuck uniforms. A hungry-ass ghost-blob. Ray's goggles. Actual-physical-contact. That mother fucker just slimed me! Fuckin' Egon. World-wide fame. The fuckin' EPA. A giant-ass Twinkie. A party-crashing dog. Never get involved with possessed people. Dana gets kinky. Winston gets spiritual and has seen shit that will turn your ass white as a ghost. Bye-bye protection grid. A meeting with the mayor. A police escort to bust some ghosts. That fuckin' apartment complex.…
Bustin' makes me feel good.
Here it is folks, probably the single most foundational movie to the Will Menaker experience, the film that carved the grooves in my brain that would lead me to a lifetime of being a sarcastic, perverted slacker whose dream in life was to start a thriving small business based on saving the world from evil Elder Gods with my equally asinine friends. For anyone who bitches about why I gave it 5 stars it's because this is bar none the most important movie to my childhood. The first movie I saw that I have any real memory of and it has stayed with me ever since then. It's set in the neighborhood I grew up…
me before this: haha a fun classic i guess lets see what the Fuss™ is about
me during and after this: why is this so boRING?? why is it structured so weird?? where are the jokes??? where ARE THEY!! why do people love this!!! they BUST SO FEw gHOSTS!! the ghosts aren't even ghosts??? i hate all these boring pricks!!! sigourney looks so unCOMFORTABLE SAVE HER!! did this make me hate bill murray?? i could have done my WHOLE LIFE without that ghost blowjob scene IM DAMAGED what the fuck!!!
IT DID make me see why it generated such a crowd of MRA pissbabies though because all the characters in this would act the same damn way towards the reboot!!…

Pretty funny. It's wild that a silly horror comedy like this turned into a franchise of mythic stature for an entire generation. Personally, I like the scenes where they trap ghosts and they make quips about slime. I really do appreciate Bill Murray in fuck-off improv mode, but even better is Dan Aykroyd's embarrassing level of sincerity here. Can't view the ghost BJ scene as anything other than pure wish-fulfillment. Tremendous analog effects. Rick Moranis steals the whole thing in a walk.
