Top 50 Movies: #49
Monday, July 30th, 2007#49 Ghostbusters (1984)
Director: Ivan Reitman
Actors: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis
This is a BRILLIANT movie! It has such a great concept that you can describe the movie in one sentence and initially get people interested in it: “A group of ex-psychic investigators start a commercial ghost extermination business in New York City.” This one line is so new and compelling that people will throw their $10 at you to get into the cinema and see the movie. Ghostbusters has been a real high-concept movie, and it has a very good comedy screenplay and a group of sympathic actors. Ghostbusters is a classic of the genre and it just had to be on my top 50 movie list.
