Last week I wrote about one of my favorite films, Ghostbusters (1984). It’s the kind of flick that would never get made today, because the entire premise—a group of former academics-turned-paranormal-exterminators saving New York City—is too outrageous and original for any Hollywood studio to touch. Thank goodness for the creative ferment of the 1980s!
Regardless, Ghostbusters has always had a special place in my heart (read last week’s review for a detailed retelling of my quest to obtain the film on DVD in 2010), and while it is controversial to write it, I have always enjoyed its sequel, the oft-delayed Ghostbusters II (1989).
