Ghostbusters Directed by Ivan Reitman, starring Bill  Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis, Sigourney Weaver and Annnie potts.

With the new game almost here, I thought I would review the original classic  Sci-Fi comedy that is Ghostbusters. It follows a group of university professors Dr Peter Venkmen (Bill Murray), Dr Ray Stanz (Dan Aykroyd)  and Dr Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) get fired from their University and decide to start up their own business to investigate the paranormal and catch ghosts with thier Secetary Janine Melnitz (Annie Potts). Business is a bit slow until a lady named Dana Barret (Sigourney Weaver) comes in to discuss the strange things that is going on in her kitchen. Peter goes to investigate but finds nothing. Things pick up for the Ghostbusters when they get a call from the Sedgewick Hotel with their proton packs they meet the loveable ghost Slimer and learn why we should never cross the streams. The Ghostbusters become a hit with the public and a new member is added to the team, a Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson). But this is just the begginning of a bigger threat by the name of Gozer and her minions Zuul and Vinz Clortho who posses Dana and her neighbor Louis Tully (Rick Moranis).

Originally released in 1984 this movie has aged very well. The story, jokes and effects still funny and scary even today. It is a real classic film and should be seen by everybody.
