Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz and Egon work at the University where they delve into the paranormal and fiddle with many unethical experiments on the students. As they are kicked out of the University do they really understand their knowledge of the paranormal and go into business for themselves. Under the new snazzy business name of 'Ghostbusters', and living in the old firehouse building they work out of, they are called to rid New York City of paranormal phenomenon at everyone's whim.... for a price. They make national press as the media thinks and pressures everybody the Ghostbusters are the cause of it all. Thrown in jail by the EPA, the mayor takes a chance and calls on them to help save the city. Unbeknownst to all, a long dead Gozer worshiper (Evo Shandor) erected downtown apartment building is the cause of all the paranormal activity. They find out the building could resurrect the ancient Hittite god, Gozer, and bring an end to all of humanity. Who are you gonna call to stop this ... Written by Chad Grill
Unlike the last person to comment, who found this film unfunny and less than memorable, I submit an opinion completely opposite to that. The one-liners and sarcasm throughout this movie are both extremely funny AND extremely memorable. 20 years later, the jokes still hold up, and people of all ages still quote it in everyday conversation. Even though I've seen it a hundred times, I still laugh out loud every time. Every actor is superb in his/her role, and the comic timing is brilliant. Plus, this is one of those movies with tons of nuances and silly little things that you have to watch dozens of times to catch.
Needless to say, this movie comes highly recommended.
