Review of Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters (1984)
9/10
Highly Memorable; Murray's best
27 March 2024
Just rewatched Ghostbusters on network TV (I almost never do that for any movie nowadays, but it had been a good 10 years for Ghostbusters). I didn't realize I had never reviewed Ivan Reitman's comedy-horror classic. Still remember sitting down late to the movie (seemed to be a bad habit of my Dad's back then) at our local theater in the summer of 1984. Ghostbusters is outstanding in its originality and features a strong comedic cast anchored by Bill Murray, in what I judge to be his best comedic work of his career, edging out "Groundhog Day". The writing and story is wonderfully fun - and I think people ought to mention the great music, soundtrack, and sounds of the movie. I've probably watched this gem about 100 times over my life. Good Halloween movie too.

Bestow it a 9/10.
