Ghostbusters has everything you want in a movie: young Bill Murray, young Dan Aykroyd, vaguely high-tech electric paraphernalia, an unforgettable soundtrack, and paranormal beings that look just about as threatening as a papier mâché skeleton.
As you may recall, the 1984 film follows a team of bumbling paranormal investigators as they battle ghosts terrorizing New York. The invasion culminates with a standoff of epic proportions. As one wise Rotten Tomatoes commenter wrote, “Whoever thought of having evil’s final manifestation take the form of a 100-ft. marshmallow deserves the rational mind’s eternal gratitude.”
