79 - "Ghostbusters" (1984)

     Probably one of the movies on the list I feel confident that almost everyone who reads this will have seen it. So there is not much reason to discuss plot details or defend the choice. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson star as the famous foursome who defend New York City from spirits that have been released onto the populous. The film mixes special effects with comedy really well which is impressive since those two things usually don't work together. But they do here and the result is one of the 80's most memorable films. Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis are also along for the ride as neighbors in a high rise apartment complex, which ends up being the main portal for the spirit world and ultimately the location of the climax of the film. Ghostbusters is a fun film and stands the test of time. It is just as funny today as it was when it was released back in 1984. The famous Marshmallow Man is one of cinemas greatest creations in my opinion. It's so ridiculous, yet so awesome, and I will never forget sitting in a theater and seeing that thing for the first time. If you happen to be one of the few people who has not seen Ghostbusters, get with the program and enjoy the adventure.
