Ghost Busters (1984)

When Bill Murray's given the right material, he can be extraordinarily funny. This is the case here. He is the star of this movie, although Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis are also amusing as his initial team of ghostbusters. Good one-liners, some very good visual humor. I'm not sure I'll remember this years down the road, but it was a very enjoyable comedy that didn't stoop to playing for lame laughs like it very well could have. (Picture this being made now with Eddie Murphy in the main role and you will have an idea of the terror this could have been.) 3.5 stars.
