You literally just made me . That line always cracked me up.



Likewise. The whole movie is a hoot.

Why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Peter: Egon, this reminds me of the time when you tried to drill a hole through your head.

Egon: That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.

++++++++++++++

Peter: Back off man. I'm a scientist.

++++++++++++++

Peter: Don't worry Ray, EVERBODY has three mortgages these days.

Ray: But at 19%? You did't even bargain with the guy.

Egon: Would you like some coffee?

Louis: I don't know. Would I?

Egon: Yes, have some.

Louis: Yes, have some!

...I laugh...every time.

Its a top 5 comedy for me all-time. I love this movie.

I can tell if someone and I dont have the same taste in comedy if they like Blazing Saddles better than Ghostbusters.

I enjoy Blazing Saddles, but would choose Ghostbusters every time.

Dr Ray Stantz: I think we'd better split up.
Dr. Egon Spengler: Good idea.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Yeah... we can do more damage that way.

[in front of the library ghost, their first ghost sighting]
Dr. Peter Venkman: So... what do we do?
[Egon and Ray stare at each other in silence. Peter grabs Ray's ear]
Dr. Peter Venkman: Would you come over here, please? That's it, c'mere Francine. What do we do?
[Egon pulls out a calculator and starts punching in numbers. Peter slaps the machine out of Egon's hand]
Dr. Peter Venkman: STOP THAT!

And on the serious side... probably my favorite scene in Ghostbusters. Gives me chills every time.

Winston Zeddemore: Hey Ray. Do you believe in God?
Dr Ray Stantz: Never met him.
Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, well, I do. And I love Jesus's style, you know.
Dr Ray Stantz: The entire roof cap is made out of a magnesium-tungsten alloy...
Winston Zeddemore: What are you so involved with over there?
Dr Ray Stantz: These are the blueprints for structural ironwork of Dana Barret's apartment building, and they are very, very strange.
Winston Zeddemore: Hey Ray. Do you remember something in the bible about the last days when the dead would rise from the grave?
Dr Ray Stantz: I remember Revelations 7:12...?And I looked, and he opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became as black as sack cloth, and the moon became as blood."
Winston Zeddemore: "And the seas boiled and the skies fell."
Dr Ray Stantz: Judgement day.
Winston Zeddemore: Judgement day.
Dr Ray Stantz: Every ancient religion has its own myth about the end of the world.
Winston Zeddemore: Myth? Ray, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason we've been so busy lately is 'cause the dead HAVE been rising from the grave?
Dr Ray Stantz: [Pause ] How 'bout a little music?
Winston Zeddemore: Yeah.

the two that I like are:

"Oh my god, look at all the junk food."

"May I *please* see the storage facility?"

Hotel Manager: $5000? I had no idea it would be so much. I won't pay it.
Venkman: Well that's okay. We can just put it right back in there, can't we Ray?
Stanz: We sure can.



Also:
Stanz: Fire me up.
(Flips switch. Pack begins to hum. Venkman and Egon try to shy as far away from the pack as they can in the elevator.)

Venkman : If we're wrong, then nothing happens. We go to jail, peacefully, quietly. We'll enjoy it. But if we're right, and we can stop this thing... Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters.

Egon: Say this twinkie represents the normal amount of telekinetic energy in the NY area. Today's reading would be a twinkie approximately 35 feet long weighing 600 lbs

Winston: That's a big twinkie.

Winston: Tell him about the twinkie

Very cool dialogue in this movie! I go into deep thought during this scene. Great music too! Ghostbusters is one of my top 3 favorite movies.
