Ok, I admit it, I love this film. In my opinion the greatest film of the 80's.

Bill Murray whilst he was funny, Sigourney Weaver, the sexiest woman in the world. And a great story and effects ( for the period).

I can watch it again and again, in fact, I am at the moment on Watch HD smile

Was on the radio today that Bill Murray shredded the script for the third film. Was said though Ghostbusters 3
could still go ahead without him.

As far as I'm aware Murray fell out with Akroyd and Ramis?

I did notice that after they killed Mr Stay Puft, Murray was hardly covered Marshmallow, whereas the rest were covered.

The same thought runs through my mind ever time I see it.

It is the greatest film of any decade.
I have never seen a film with a better script and dialogue than this.

I think that must have been done as fair play for the slime scene.

Totally agree, ghostbusters was one of the best for the decade!

Anyone know what was the budget for the film in comparison with other mainstream 80s films?

They cover that on the commentary, he didn't like the shaving foam so avoided getting covered, it looked funny so they left it as is.

A remastered print was screened at a number of cinemas over Halloween - I went to watch it without hesitation despite owning it on DVD and Blu Ray already!

Phenomenal film and wonderful to watch it on the big screen again smile

I loved the little old lady in the library. I suppose there is a 3d remake somewhere in the pipeline.

One problem I do find is singing 'Those bds' instead of 'Ghostbusters' to the tune as thats what I thought it was when I first heard it waayyyyy back in 1984.

According to IMDB.com $32m (est) and a worldwide gross of $280m.

Love it!

There's been talk of a Ghostbusters 3 for years, but it'll never happen. I don't think there's ever been a big falling out, or they were ever that close - they all worked together twice, about 25 years ago.

Legend has is Bill Murray rarely accepts work, he hasn't got an agent, business manager or publicist and can only be contacted for jobs via a mobile he rarely turns on and he only does films he's interested in.

It kinda did, the script for GB3 became Evolution as they couldn't get the original cast.
