About
As of 2026, it's 42 years old.
Ghostbusters had the wildly ambitious idea of crossing a special-effects blockbuster with a deadpan comedy and a theme song you cannot get out of your head, and somehow nailed all three. A trio of disgraced scientists start a paranormal extermination business in New York, and a hundred-foot marshmallow man is involved.
Bill Murray's wisecracking ad-libs, the proton packs, and 'Who you gonna call?' made it an instant phenomenon and a merchandising empire.
Funny, spooky, and impossibly quotable, Ghostbusters is the comedy that proved you can fight a giant marshmallow and still be the coolest movie of the year.
