Ghostbusters
After losing their academic posts at a prestigious university, a team of parapsychologists goes into business as proton-pack-toting "ghostbusters" who exterminate ghouls, hobgoblins and supernatural pests of all stripes. An ad campaign pays off when a knockout cellist hires the squad to purge her swanky digs of demons that appear to be living in her refrigerator.

Please don't spend money on this.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The film must have been phenomenal for its time. Even at today's standard, the visual effects are still amazing, so it must have been groundbreaking back in '84. It deservedly was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Visual Effects. In a time well before CGI was so advanced, this was incredibly believably done. From the plot to the acting and the music, this is entertainment deluxe. Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd are legends! And off course, who will ever forget that giant Marshmallow Man!!?
I like Bill Murray especially in Groundhog day. Don't look for substance in a comedy. I think many people who rate these type movies low are looking at them from a different lens. I admit from any other angle this movie is stupid and childish, but from the comedy lens its exceptional. So many great quotes in this one. I laughed often and out loud. So don't take it too seriously and enjoy it. The public - the ones who actually go to movies and spend money - are the true test and this one has passed with flying colors. Great cast
GhostbustersYes, it has a promising idea and tries to keep it all in the track all the way without any loose ends but fails on execution and a gripping screenplay which makes it feel like a three hour ride.
I'd say flawless actually. After seeing part 2, which is enjoyable just to see the original actors in their original roles. I especially appreciate the original more, when you see the disastrous remake.This was capturing lightning in a bottle with the right cast, the right crew, and the right script. Years later with sequels, reboots etc. you just realize you can't recapture the lightning, and we should appreciate this original
