Having to fight the stay puffed Marshmallow man at the end of 1 was really stupid.

Vego the carpathian was a badass.

I'll go with GB2 over GB1

I just don't get it. I watched both today and quickly realized the 1 is just not as entertaining as 2.

Vigo the art museum demon. The ghost train in the subway. The river of evil ectoplasm. The flying ghost nanny. The dancing toaster....

There's just more going on in number 2. Far more entertaining.

First one is better, second is more quotable.

Disagree on the later, personally.

Back off man, I'm a Scientist.

Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say 'YES'!

We came, we saw, we kicked its arse!

Janine Melnitz: You are so kind to take care of that man. You know, you're a real humanitarian.
Egon Spengler: I don't think he's human.

Yes it's true. This man has no dick.

Generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance.

Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Peter Venkman: Why?
Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Egon Spengler: Try to image all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Raymond Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. Alright, important safety tip. Thanks Egon.

Raymond Stantz: You know, it's just occurred to me we really haven't had a completely successful test of this equipment.
Egon Spengler: I blame myself.
Peter Venkman: So do I.
Raymond Stantz: No sense in worrying about it now.
Peter Venkman: Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Raymond Stantz: Symmetrical book stacking... just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.
Peter Venkman: You're right. No human being would stack books like this.

Don't get me wrong...1 is a classic.

I just enjoy 2 better.

I broke the VHS for 1 when I was a kid, So I watched 2 more. We went through 2 copies of each because I watched those two movies so much as a kid.

This is one of the best scenes of both movies

It's a rare sequel that exceeds the original movie.

May be my favorite line.

I've contended before that Ghostbusters is one of the best sequels of all time. It's not as good as one, but I think it's more quotable (and that's not a knock on 1...both are greatly quotable) and has a better villain (Vigo > Zuul/Gozer...even though I do think the SPMM in 1 is awesome).

Where the frick is Miyagi?

Ghostbusters. And for those of you who don't see the humor in them fighting a giant Stay Puffed Marshmellow Man at the end of the movie....I pity you. That's a classic scene.

Especially when you weigh the description The Keymaster gave of past forms Gozer took with what we finally got at the end of the movie:
