Ghost Busters

The first movie is one of my all time favorites. I quote it often.

The 2nd was *okay*, but no where near as good. The cartoons I hated, as much as I hated all late 80's Saturday morning pap.

Pretty much the same. "Ray...if someone asks if you are a god...you say YES."
 
I went through THREE copies of the VHS movie when I was a kid. I think I watched it every day for a year. The second was OK. And I remember reading an interview somewhere with the actors, who said they'd been offered more money than they'd ever seen in their lives to make a third movie, but they thought there was no way for it to be good, so they declined. I thought that was really cool.

I also still have a bunch of the cartoons on a tape somewhere.
 
Loved the 1st movie and watched it many times. The second one had some decently funny sequences and Murray one-liners but the incredibly lame ending (almost as bad as another Reitman film ending, Evolution) kind of ruined it IMO. The scene where the slime-covered busters barge into Murray's date at the nice restaurant was pretty funny. The first movie was far better though IMO.

On a slightly related note, Dan Aykroyd visited a local bar called the Rainbow and began playing his harmonica with the band that was playing. I thought that was really cool and that also leads me to believe that was really him playing in Blues Brothers. Another fine Aykroyd movie btw. And so I don't completely derail the thread...

"Doe."
"Ray."
"Egon!"
