Ghostbusters (1984): Fired from their university, parapsychology professors Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), and Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) become spirit catchers-for-hire, in this supernaturally successful comedy. And when the return of an ancient deity causes the dead to rise from the grave, the boys find all of New York City clamoring for their services. Ghostbusters II (1989): It's slime time once again in this hit sequel that finds the Ghostbusters strapping on their proton packs for more hauntingly funny hijinks. This time, they must stop a medieval tyrant from using an innocent child and a river of anger-infused slime flowing under Manhattan to come back to life and conquer the world. Ghostbusters (2016): Paranormal theorists Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy) and Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) patched up their professional feud after uncovering proof that ghosts exist. Partnering with physicist Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon) and transit worker Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones) in a high-tech spook-chasing service, will they be able to cope when NYC faces a mass spectral invasion? Paul Feig's much-debated all-woman redo of the '80s effects-comedy staple.
