Who you gonna call? I think we all know the answer: the top grossing film of 1984, Ghostbusters! Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Sigourney Weaver star in the paranormal smash comedy, which inspired only one so-so sequel and a surprising number of video games. It was, of course, a simpler time back then, when special effects werent quite so seamless, and the greatest threat facing New York City was the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man. The movie was a total star turn for Murray, playing the loosest and least professional academic on campus. Using Aykroyd as his uptight foil, with well-timed sideline zingers from the wonky Ramis (who co-wrote the script with Aykroyd), Murray is freed to embrace his inner, off-kilter leading manhes like Cary Grant on mescaline, utterly assured in everything he says, even when nothing he says makes the slightest bit of sense.
