Amazon.co.uk Review
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, Amazon.com

DVD Description
When Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) and his Columbia University colleagues (Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson) are kicked out of their prestigious academic posts, they start a private practice as professional ghost-catchers. Although things do not start auspiciously for the three parascientists, their television advertisements finally pay off when beautiful Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) contracts them. It seems her apartment has become the entryway for ghastly ghosts and goofy ghouls hellbent on terrorising New York City. Soon they're not just going to her rescue, but trying to rid the whole city of the slimy creatures. Ghostbusters hit US screens in June of 1984 and went on to become one of the most successful comedy films of all time, spawning a sequel and a popular animated series.

Adults CAN have fun too!!!
I REALLY enjoyed this film,it IS a ''classic'' and really sums up the eighties and a certain time of films and music for me.It was GREAT to be a ''kid'' again tho' some language and sexual innuendo are quite adult! (if you bought this AS a family film,I dont think young kida would pick up on those) it has a good plot,some suspense in a fun way and REALLY good special effects for the time it was made!!
I TOTALLY recommend this film,,so go on- get some popcorn curl up and enjoy the younger you for the evning with some real belly aching laughs!!!.
