'Ghostbusters'

Nowadays, whenever a really dumb movie comes out, people always comment, "Well, Hollywood's officially run out of ideas."
In 1984, were people saying the same thing about "Ghostbusters." A story about three fringe scientists, who are fired from a university and start a business to deal with paranormal nuisances. Are you serious? Add some cornball special effects and you have a simple synopsis of the film.

On another note, Bill Murray is on the short list of comedic actors that seem to just ad lib everything they do on screen. It's as if they don't give him lines, but he is forced to react to whatever everyone else is scripted to do.

Or maybe, just maybe, he's a fantastic comedic actor. I'm sticking to the former.
