Great reaction. What I always think separates this “Ghostbusters” film from the others is the perfect balance of comedy, horror, and sci-fi. When it’s creepy it’s full on creepy. They don’t undercut the horror with cheap jokes to lighten the mood. They have great dialogue like Winston’s “Dead rising from the grave speech”. Then when they have a comedy bit, it’s genuinely funny. They make sure to ground the film in the real world too. Outside of the Ghostbusters, the rest of the world is realistic. Which makes the threat feel real. Even something as silly as the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. But if you make the world seem just as unrealistic as the sci-fi, the stakes don’t feel real. A good science-fiction film makes you feel it could happen. By grounding it.

[@BattleAngelFan99]

I agree. This was definitely the best one. The second one couldn't match its brilliance. The second was entertaining, but just didn't feel as perfect. Ghostbusters Afterlife, entertaining too, but a different sort of feel. Hard to even try to compare that one.

[@archstanton1628]

The other thing that separates it from the rest is that it's a good movie.

The second one amps up the horror element though. Maybe it overshadows the comedy in it though, as you say not as balanced.

[@oakvalepennybridge]

Great comment

[@AaronLitz]

I still say that _Ghostbusters_ could be made as a straight Sci-Fi/Horror and be just as effective. That is why it is so good, because the horror is real, and the comedy comes from the _characters_ who are funny and their reactions to extreme situations. And because it was for adults, with adult comedy. The second one and the 2016 reboot were just bad cartoons made for children.

The sequence where Louis is trapped against the restaurant window and the patrons “can’t see him”, they can see him just fine, they just don’t care, this visual gag works on multiple levels; 1; New Yorkers have a reputation of being very self centered and generally jerks, since it wasn’t them that was in danger, they didn’t care 2; this was filmed at the famous ‘Tavern on the Green’ restaurant, which at the time was beloved by the New York ‘elites’ and ‘high rollers’, who were very ‘socially conscious’ in that they didn’t want to be seen associating with poor people, they didn’t care what was happening to Louis because it was happening to one of ‘The Poors’, they were being the stereotypical rich snobs It was an offhanded slap in the face to the rich jerks and snobs

I was 6 when this came out and I still never tire of watching it. I used to watch the 80s cartoon as well "The Real Ghostbusters". It's nice to see the franchise get new life with the 2 latest movies. Ghosts weren't the only thing big in the 80s. The whole horror genre was in full swing. You of course had the major franchises with Michael, Jason, Freddy, Chucky and all. But, there was so much more. Movies like "The Howling", "Silver Bullet", "Fright Night", the 1988 remake of "The Blob", the 1986 remake of "The Fly", Phantasm 1 and 2, and horror comedies like "Return of the Living Dead" and "Night of The Creeps" were all fantastic movies. The direct to video market was booming back then and smaller studios offered many titles at the local video rental stores that you wouldn't see in theaters. Studios like Empire Pictures, Roger Corman's New World Pictures, and Full Moon gave us great classics like 'Galaxy of Terror", The Puppet Master" franchise, "Trancers", "Dollman", "Scanners" and C.H.U.D. Most of these movies are free to watch on Tubi and other steaming services. The budgets are small, the acting isn't the best and the effects are a mix of good to terrible. But these movies have a certain charm to them. Many of them prove that you don't need a huge budget to make a movie that returns huge profits. Hopefully, we'll see a reaction or two to these screen gems. If anything, they are fun to watch.

Don't know if anybody mentioned this already, but SNL cast member, the late John Belushi (who had previously co-starred with Dan Aykroyd in the original Blues Brothers), was originally supposed to co-star with Aykroyd in this film, and the original script that Aykroyd had written had the two travelling through time fighting supernatural threats, but due to Belushi's death and the concept being deemed financially impossible, Harold Ramis was hired to help rewrite the script. Also, the design of Slimer (or Onionhead as he was originally called (don't ask)) was created by Steve Johnson who based the little fella on Belushi (who the character of Venkman was originally written for) at the request of Ramis and Aykroyd. Johnson recalled the project being a NIGHTMARE to complete. He claimed that he thought Belushi's ghost came to help him while he was three grams into the night he was working on fulfilling the request and "in a cocaine-induced delusional paranoia". His words, not mine. And this request came to him last-minute. Edit: After the film's release, a lot of people thought William Atherton, the guy who played Walter Peck, was the same as the character. I'm not kidding! If you ask me, this sounds like a case of people taking the actor's performance TOO seriously. I mean, I get it why they did it, 'cause let's face it, we ALL hate Walter Peck in the film, but I hear Atherton's actually a nice guy in real life. 2nd edit: "Go get her, Ray!" As I recall, that was Venkman getting back at Ray for that "plan" he had way back in the beginning of the movie. "'Get her!' That was your plan? 'Get her'?"

Yes in english speaking countries the number 13 is bad luck but its different in many different countries. In Japan the number 4 is unlukcy because 4 is pronounced shi(she) but death is also pronounced shi.

[@nathanpark1058]

13 is unlucky and omitted from building floors because on Friday, October 13, 1307, the last stronghold of the Knights Templar was destroyed and most the knights were burned at the stake.

We saw this in a movie theater, and there were 2 small kids who said marshmallows every now and then. There are marshmallows planted in some scenes leading up to the final battle.

Ghostbusters is one of those quintessential 80's movies that blends multiple genres into something that works on its own. Oddly enough, there was a pre-existing IP belonging to a company called Filmation that was also titled The Ghost Busters (note the space between the words) with a similar premise of a team of paranormal investigators but with a much more goofy and kid-friendly tone, and included a talking gorilla as one of its team members. You'd think that the existence of two separate properties with such similar names and premises would cause a lot of confusion. But this Ghostbusters became such a pop culture phenomenon that most people only think of it and are mostly unaware that Filmation's Ghost Busters actually exists.

[@0okamino]

There was some controversial confusion at the time. Columbia Pictures ended up making a licensing deal with Filmation for the movie title, but it didn’t include Filmation making an animated series. When Columbia Pictures decided to have DiC do the series based on the movie, Filmation opted to do their own (also using the title _GhostBusters_ without the space) as a follow-up to their _Ghost Busters_ show from the 70s. The Filmation series was released just barely ahead of the DiC series, so DiC modified their title to _The Real Ghostbusters._ That helped with some degree of differentiation, but not all of it (which included my own confusion, as I wasn’t previously aware of the Filmation show either).

[@StCerberusEngel]

@@0okamino I saw both cartoons as a kid and enjoy them both. But The Real Ghostbusters is the better show overall.

[@untunedguitar45]

“(note the space between the words)” ​​⁠But technically this movie also has the space between the words because they’re stacked up against each other on screen, and that’s how it’s listed on movie database sites like IMDb

The fire station is a real FDNY firehouse located in the Tribeca section of Manhattan. The Ghostbusters plaque is still there but it is in service as a working fire station (it is several blocks north of the World Trade Centre).

[@DaveBukowski]

35:00 yes there at least was a game for the Apple II+. I know because I had it. Youbuilt your car and caught ghosts in thr car on the way to haunted locations and trapped those ghosts there, then when tge PKE reading got to 999 (1000) you had to get into the building with the marshmallow man jumping at the doorway. I never completed it. This was the 80s before I was 10 years old.

[@WOLVERINE25TH]

It was on every possible system at the time, with variations in the graphics and the addition/subtraction of some features. I have the Atari 2600 version--and never beat it, either!

[@StCerberusEngel]

Not a great game, even for the time. There were ports and versions on just about every system and they were all pretty below average, the best of them being the Master System version. The only real good games at the time were the Genesis/Megadrive game, as well as New Ghostbusters II released in Japan and PAL regions for the Famicom/NES. The 2009 game that was ported more recently to the PS4/XB1 is fantastic though.

[@WOLVERINE25TH]

@@StCerberusEngel Good enough--it was a sales success.

[@StCerberusEngel]

@@WOLVERINE25TH The movie was a smash hit, so the games were going to sell regardless of quality. They weren't as bad as ET or Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 (although that version was really bad compared to others), but still subpar. Back then, simplicity was usually the way to go. A few levels based on the hotel, firehouse and apartment, going floor to floor catching ghosts would've worked fine and been more universally replayable. As it was, it seemed like they were trying for more than they could reliably handle. Boring map screen, samey driving sections, rather mundane ghost encounters, and a stair-climb that was a little too close to accurate to be all that fun. Ambitious, maybe, but execution is everything.

[@WOLVERINE25TH]

@@StCerberusEngel Not that they couldn't handle it, but they were only given 6 weeks in which to do it. The map and driving came from a prototype they had called "Car Wars", and they just added in whatever GB elements they could from what they were given. Crunch: always present in the gaming industry.

[@bruceschmidt758]

Fun fact: The composer of the Ghost Buster title song was sued for Theft of music and had a huge judgment against him. Also the ditsy blond dancing with the host of the party when the monster came out of the closet in real life was the wife of Casey Kasems. In the big battle with the Stay Puff man Punk Rockers in the crowd were my cousins who had a business called rent a Punk! As an aside "soil liquefaction" is a real thing and it causes buildings, automobiles, and even people to sink in the ground during strong earthquakes! Yes the end of days is real too...

In the late 80s, early 90s Hi-C fruit drink had a flavor called Ecto Cooler. It was bright green and delicious!

[@phillymike3181]

Paper bags were the standard until "save the trees" pushed the adoption of plastic bags starting in the late 60s. The greens on carrots, turnips, radishes, etc were to show that they were just picked locally. Fresh, local apples also had a leaf or two left on the stem. Until the 70s, fruits and vegetables had seasons when they were available, but the root crops and apples could come from storage. Frozen concentrated orange juice allowed orange juice to go from seasonal to year 'round after World War II. When air freight costs dropped, the foreign sourcing of fruits, vegetables and flowers made everything year-'round.

[@TheeGoatPig]

I was 8 when I saw this in theaters with my brothers. As with everyone else, we had no idea what was coming with the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, but we laughed our asses off with the full reveal. And it wasn't until decades later that I finally asked the question, "Why did Venkman have 300cc of Thorazine on him for his date with Dana?"

[@exhistoriascientia]

Films didn't use drawings for effects shots and CGI was still years away (although the first CG sequence was in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan two years earlier, it would still be years away from common use of CGI). Instead, films used matte paintings, typically executed on large panes of glass so that images could be composited into blank portions of the painting.

[@harveylee51]

Oh what a classic 😊 combining Sci-Fi ,Horror and comedy into one fun filled package , This was huge when it came out everyone had to go see it and it really engrained itself into pop culture spawning several sequels , video games and a cool cartoon series as well Awesome reaction Amelia .. now who you gonna call !! ? 😅👻

There was a video game released in 1984, right after the movie came out. It wasn't the easiest to play, had bad graphics but I loved it. Played it on my ZX48. A friend of mine had it on his Commodore 64 with slightly better graphics. It was also released on NES. They programmed it for 10 platforms in 6 weeks. Sold 2 million copies.

This is one of the best films and is definitely something that defined the 80s. Not only were there action figures, video games and an animated series there are also comic books. The image in your thumbnail is actually from Ghostbusters: The Video Game which was made in 2009 and was considered a 3rd film at the time. Can't wait for the others!

its so weird seeing a different generation watch this, when venkman was talking to the student you classed it as shady and when he was waiting for sigourney your first reaction was your not creeped out, this was all part of the charm and giggles back then, but now a different generation see things so differently, great review all the same and thumbs up,
