Ghostbusters

When you need a great comedy, who ya gonna call? The star-studded cast of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis star as discredited scientists who decide to create their own ghost-catching business. Hilarity ensues as we follow them to capture everything from slimers to demon dogs to giant marshmallow men. The film has some of the greatest chemistry between comedians of all time and every other scene with them is an iconic moment with an iconic line.
