Product Description
Three unemployed parapsychology professors set up shop as a unique ghost removal service. Who ya gonna call? Studio: Ingram Entertainment Release Date: 09/02/2003 Starring: Bill Murray Sigourney Weaver Run time: 107 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Ivan Reitman
Amazon.com essential video
Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wrote the script, but Bill Murray gets all the best lines and moments in this 1984 comedy directed by Ivan Reitman (Meatballs). The three comics, plus Ernie Hudson, play the New York City-based team that provides supernatural pest control, and Sigourney Weaver is the love interest possessed by an ancient demon. Reitman and company are full of original ideas about hobgoblins--who knew they could "slime" people with green plasma goo?--but hovering above the plot is Murray's patented ironic view of all the action. Still a lot of fun, and an obvious model for sci-fi comedies such as Men in Black. --Tom Keogh

 Total blast September 27, 2008

A childhood of my generation would not be complete without the story of "Ghostbusters". This is fun madcap adventures dabbling into the mocked up world of the occult. Here are the classic lines and scenes in all their glory. It's a comedic blast that just has to be kept around.
A true masterpiece! September 13, 2008

Peter (Bill Murray), Egon (Harold Ramis) and Ray (Dan Ackroyd) are college drop-outs create a unusual but successful business of paranormalist called "Ghostbusters" who uses proton-blasters and special traps to capture poltergeists and demons. Later a newcomer named Winston (Ernie Hudson) joins the squad, a lovely musician named Dana (Sigourney Weaver) lives in a apartment building that use to be the home of a cult of worshippers of ancient beings and it's haunted. Now a horde of spirits and demons with goblins appear in the city as the powerful Gozer will take over the world, now it's up the Ghostbusters to end it all.
Co-starring Rick Moranis and William Atheron, this movie is a brilliant mix of horror, comedy and fantasy all tied together in one serious crowdpleaser of a movie. This movie has became one of the greatest motion pictures ever and one of the most beloved yet successful movies of all time, it still holds up to many generations among kids to adults as it never grows old and remains fresh. The concept of the film itself is genius and has an H.P. Lovecraft-esque feel to it, the performances are just outstanding and the special effects still hold up in this digital age. I loved this movie since i was 3 back in 1985 when my mom bought me the movie and i became a fan instantly as i watched the TV show, collected the toys, watched the sequel in the theaters in 1989 and it's the coolest movie of that decade. The theme song by Ray Parker Jr. still remains popular today even at halloween parties and the film still delights audiences both old and newcomers alike, it's one of the most original and unique motion picture experiences ever.
This DVD contains great picture and sound with extras like Audio Commentary including an MST3K style video commentary, Trailers to this and other Columbia releases, Deleted scenes, Storyboard comparisions, conceptual art gallery, featurettes and photo gallery.
Back off man, I'm a scientist August 18, 2008

This film is at least as funny, if not more funny, as when it first aired in 1984. 3 parapsychologists of varied interest and sincerity discover there truly are ghosts. When they are kicked out of the university and forced to work in the private sector they are met with surprising success. It turns out a spirit assault is being leveled against humanity and these brave souls along with some hired help will stand against the forces of a nether world.
Some great lines include:
Back off man, I'm a scientist
Ok. So. She's a dog.
No human would ever stack books like this.
He slimed me.
