Ghostbusters (DVD, 2002)

Ghostbusters - If you haven't seen this movie you need to get out from under that rock. This movie is great, you all know that.

Ghostbusters is comedy and as funny as it gets. The movie never misses a chance to poke fun at things and it has plenty of sight-gags that any native New Yorker will appreciate. Set in 1984, New York City has an infestation of ghosts and it is left up to three con-artists who don the respectable cloak of being professors at Columbia University to rid the Big Apple of its ghosts.

Led by Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), they set up their own business and they call themselves the Ghostbusters. This movie's pitch is perfect. Where else but New York City would suffer from a ghost infestation? And the scene of a ghost at the wheel of a New York taxi plowing into garbage is a sight-gag that any native New York resident would appreciate. The Ghostbusters become celebrities, but they have their enemies, most notably Walter Peck, from the EPA, doubtless left over from the Nixon era. He makes it his life's work to shut down the Ghostbusters, convinced that they are in violation of umpteen million environmental regulations and that they are ripping off the public. It turns out that ghosts from a long-gone cult are haunting New York and are poised to take over the city, with the appearance of the Stay Puft Marshmallow. Con-artists or not, it is up to the Ghostbusters to save New York City from this other-world invasion.

In addition to being a hilarious and timeless comedy, Ghostbusters depicts life in the 1980s in a way that few other movies do. No other movie comes close to depicting the decor and fashion trends of 1984. For anyone who wants a perfect depiction of life in the 1980s, they only need watch Ghostbusters.

In short, Ghostbusters is a five-star comedy and a great time capsule of the 1980s.

a very fun goast hunting film!! features a bunch of rag tage ghost hunters and the spirits that they trap using plasma rays and plasma traps... Very fun film, Even has a 100 foot stay puffed marshmellow man terring up the city -- great childrens film and a must watch for all

Liked this movie and it was in perfect condition. My son was wild over the Ghostbusters when a child (15 yrs ago) and has introducted them to his son which shares the same appreciation. This was a birthday gift and he loved it.

Fantastic. the DVD and case matched the description and were in good condition. I highly recommend this seller.

This is a classic movie! We bought it for our kids to show them what we liked as kids! So glad it's on DVD now.

Normally I don't like silly comedy, but this is a very good movie and a possessed Segourny Weaver is delightful.

Is it a horror/comedy or a comedy/horror?

What's the difference when you can't help laughing again and again? Rick Moranis, as usual, is hilarious with his nervous hounddog routine towards sexy Sigourney (she never looked better!), cost-effective accounting party dialogue and finally as a possessed subject donned with inverted collander and entrapments probed by Egon at the team's headquarters. Each replay reaps another subtle bit of suppressed dialogue from Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd & Harold Ramis. Considering this movie was released just before the wave of new generation CG hit, the special effects were very cleverly implemented. Take particular note to the horrifying example of symmetrical bookstacking in the NY library!!! All-in-all, a true classic of a genre that defies definition.

Item was as new in plastic as described and was received timely. DVD sold at excellent price. Very good value.

My son Loves the movie and thank you for geting it quickly to him. The movie was in good condishion and played great.

bought for my 23 year old son. Lots of fun in this movie; especially with Dan Acroyd charaxcer. A good movie for just relqsing and having a good laugh or two.
Not a thinking mans movie--but something you can watch after a long hard day at work!!!

The movie is good for most everyone. I bought it to show it to my nephew he loved it and now sings the title song all the time. It is a very cute,funny feel good movie.

Ghostbusters is a classic movie about 3 college students that come up with an idea to catch ghosts for a living. It's comedic in nature but does have some scenes that are too scary for children under 12. John Candy was supposed to star in it, but turned down his role in the movie - it was a regretable choice since the movie became so popular afterward.

I bought it for my daughter who is in a nursing home at age 50. This was a movie she had always enjoyed and was pleased to receive a personal copy for her collection.

I BOUGHT THIS ITEM SINCE I LIKE BILL MURRAY,ITS A COOL MOVIE ,I BOUGHT THE PRICE WAS CHEAPER THAN K-MART OR TARGET THANKS GOODNESS FOR EBAY .WHAT I LIKED THE STAY PUFFF MASHMELLOW MAN TOO FUNNY,,,

Great classic movie, wanted to share with the grandkids. Just the right amount of scariness, a good family movie.

This movie is a classic. We wanted to own it, and this was the best way to own it at a really good price. I am happy with my purchase, and the person before me took really good care of it. Thanks ebay!

Another great classic to share with my grand kids. We recieved this movie very quickly and we were pleased with the Great quality!

I love Ghostbusters but am dissapointed at its failure to arrive. There is nothing more that i can add... I was earnestly awaiting its arrival for about three weeks then i just gave up waiting. It totally slipped my mind to write a review. Although, i am sure that had it made it, I would have loved it.
