Murray’s dry wit & memorable music weave through the movie like a proton stream, sparking many famous scenes in this enduring comedy classic

Jonas Frankenfeld

It‘s a classic for a reason but man I can‘t stand Venkman. What a disgusting creep

Salman Al Farisi Prasad

Ghosts busted, marshmallows roasted, Bill Murray flirted with the apocalypse. Science bros > actual science.

Such a good movie, a classic with great acting and a surprising amount of action a perfect choice for movie night of you haven't seen it

Just really really fun. You can tell the actors had a hand in writing it, with how breezy and natural this bonkers script comes to them.

My favorite film ever. It inspired me to explore other films and to study the paranormal. I'm a real Michigan Ghostbuster and proud of it.

Fun combination of big-budget spectacle and comedy, good cast with memorable characters, often funny with a few nice scares for good measure

George Carruthers

Made a refreshing change with the mostly female cast.

Good beginning to a very good series of movies. No one doesn’t know the ghostbusters

One of the best movies of the 80’s. I can’t find a flaw.
