Editor's Note
When Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murrary) 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 the three parascientists are idle for awhile, 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 terrorizing New York City. Soon they're going to her rescue, trying to rid the 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.

| | Professional Reviews | Variety
"...It's Murray's picture, as the popular comedian deadpans, ad libs and does an endearing array of physical schtick....Weaver is deliciously sexy..." 06/06/1984Premiere
"GHOSTBUSTERS is still a rounded, rousing entertainment." 12/01/2004 p.168 Entertainment Weekly
"What turned GHOSTBUSTERS into a classic was director Ivan Reitman's ability to stir genuine ghoulish scares into the clever dialogue and funny bits." 08/05/2005 p.52 Premiere
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "An 80s phenomenon and classic comedy, with Bill Murray upstaging everything in his path..." 06/17/2009 VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever 8 of 10
Comedy thriller about Manhattan being overrun with ghosts contains great special effects, zany characters and some of the best laughs of the decade.
The Motion Picture Guide 8 of 10
..makes no sense whatsoever but there are so many good lines and such excellent effects that it's best not to question the logic, just sit back and laugh.
