Ghostbusters

#40 on Glenn's Top 100 Movie List

When I was a kid I wasn't allowed to watch Ghostbusters because my mother said the ghosts had scared her, and therefore they would definitely scare me. So when I was like 8 or so, having already been an avid fan of The Real Ghostbusters cartoon (when it premiered I faked sick on the first day of school so I could watch it), I managed to tape it off TV. The problem was the cable that day sucked, so for years all I had to watch was this extremely distorted and staticy version of Ghostbusters. Which didn't stop me because it is awesome. It's a shame Harold Ramis doesn't act that much anymore. He was great in this and in Stripes. Especially Stripes, but that movie falls apart an hour in so it didn't make the cut. It suffers from "Woody Allen" syndrome of running out of plot about 2/3 of the way in and then just basically winging it for the rest. But Ghostbusters is great. Sorry, no Ghostbusters II on the list either.

RATING: 93%

  4. Has anyone checked in on Tom lately, because I think he might be losing it.

    Also, Sigourney Weaver is fucking hot.
