I rewatched it again come the 2016 remake controversy, only to once again be bored out of my mind.

I do enjoy Ghostbusters. I thought it was a fun movie, but it's far from a masterpiece. I am not even sure why it's a cultural phenomenon. It has all the elements of a typical cult classic film. Yet somehow it exploded as a major mainstream film with a big impact on American pop culture. As a kid I only liked it for one reason and one reason only: Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man. I just thought that ending was hilarious. Aside from that this film is highly inappropriate for children. I am one of the few who finds Ghostbusters 2 more enjoyable as a whole film.

I still pick both films over the reboot. That reboot was awful.
