This is the thread where we quote from Ghostbusters - "WE GOT ONE!"

Ray: No! Nobody ever made them like this! The architect was either a certified genius or an aesthetic wacko!

Peter: No, we're exterminators. Someone saw a cockroach up on twelve.

Guy in Elevator: That's gotta be some cockroach.

Peter: Bite your head off, man.

Egon: Good idea.

Peter: Yeah, we can do more damage that way.

"They hate that"

(this is one of my favourite movies btw)

Rick Moranis under his breath in 2: "Stay fit, keep sharp, make good decisions."

Vy am I dreepings vit goo?

Everytime I'm in a room with a piano, I'm required to play that annoying two-note thing and say "They hate that."

I, unfortunately, must abide by the same imperative.

OHHH I get it! VERY clever. So, if I think `J. Edgar Hoover,' J. Edgar Hoover will appear and destroy us all, right?

Casey Kasem: Still making headlines all across the country, the Ghostbusters are at it again. This time, at the fashionable dance club, "The Rose." The boys in gray slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance. This is Casey Kasem. Now, on with the countdown.

^^^ i love this one

"you only have seventy five more to go.."

"Back off man, I'm a scientist"

yes i'm watching the first one right now

"The flowers are still standing!"

god i need to see this again

2 was on TV here tonight. LOVE IT.

Best movie ever made?

"I'm Winston Zeddmore, Your Honor. I've only been with the company for a couple of weeks, but these things are real. Since I joined these men, I've seen shit that'll turn you white."

"If we're wrong, we go to jail. Quietly! Peacefully! We'll enjoy it! But if we're right...Lenny....you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters."

"This man has no dick"

BUSTIN MAKES ME FEEL GOOOOD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Janine Melnitz: Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?
Winston Zeddemore: Ah, if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.

ray, if someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES

it's miller time!

Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Venkman: Why?
Spengler: It would be bad.
Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

"Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters."

do you have any other hobbies?

i collect spores, molds, and fungi

Had a thing for Janine when I was a kid.

^^^ I love the whole bit where Janine tries to chat up Egon

I mean, she's a nerd, so you'd think Egon would have a changem, but he's an even bigger nerd

still have a thing for janine

changem = chance

she looks like what we would now call "an american apparel model"

i probably would still have a thing for Janine if I watched it again, true.

Print is dead.

Dr Ray Stantz: Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've *worked* in the private sector. They expect *results*.

Instead of Ghostbusters 3 Dan and Harold should just team up and write "Tobin's Spirit Guide" and make it an awesome compendium of Ghostbuster pseudo-science BS.

i couldn't help it.
it's the sta-puft marshmallow man

Sorry, the answer was, "Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

saw it tonight. I don't anything about film prints or quality but the film was great of course. aim for the flattop.

"They hate that."

If only there was a way to quote Rick Moranis's mannerisms in this.

Anyway: "I feel like the floor of a taxi."

I think I'm gonna go see it this weekend in the theater

I'm kind of excited!

Louis' party is my favorite thing in the world

Ted! Annette! I'm glad you could come, how you doin', give me your coats. Everybody, this is Ted and Annette Fleming! Ted has a small carpet cleaning business in receivership; Annette's drawing a salary from a deferred bonus from two years ago! They got fifteen thousand left on the house at eight percent.

ah screw it, the whole thing is gold

Woman at Party: [coming up to Louis during party] Do you have any Excedrin or extra-strength Tylenol?
Louis: [opening cabinet] Gee, I think all I got is acetylsalicylic acid, generic. See, I can get six hundred tablets of that for the same price as three hundred of a name brand. That makes good financial sense, good advice...
[takes platter back into living room]
Louis: Hey, this is real smoked salmon from Nova Scotia, Canada, $24.95 a pound! It only cost me $14.12 after tax, though.
[walks up to a hapless guest, speaking confidentially]
Louis: I'm givin' this whole thing as a promotional expense, that's why I invited clients instead of friends. You havin' a good time, Mark?
[heads across the room, greeting other guests]
Louis: How you doing? Why don't you have some of the brie, it's at room temperature!
[to the Tall Woman]
Louis: You think it's too warm in here for the brie?
Tall Woman at Party: [standing] Louis, I'm going home.
Louis: Aw, don't leave yet. Well, listen, maybe if we start dancing other people will join in!
Tall Woman at Party: [pauses] Okay!
[Louis and the Tall Woman begin disco dancing. Suddenly the doorbell rings]
Louis: Oh, don't move, I just gotta get the door.
[opens door, greeting guests]
Louis: Ted! Annette! I'm glad you could come, how you doin', give me your coats. Everybody, this is Ted and Annette Fleming! Ted has a small carpet cleaning business in receivership; Annette's drawing a salary from a deferred bonus from two years ago! They got fifteen thousand left on the house at eight percent.
[throws the guests' coats in the closet, oblivious that they hit the Terror Dog hiding there]
Louis: So they're okay! So, does anybody wanna play Parcheesi?
[the Terror Dog growls from inside the bedroom]
Louis: [grinning] Okay, who brought the dog?

maybe if we start dancing other people will join in

this line goes through my head a lot for some reason

and the dance they do together is awesome

imagine how LOL worthy that Pat Benetar looking Gozer was in 1984

"Tall Woman" was Jean Kasem iirc?

On the DVD commentary Harold Ramis collapses into gales of laughter remembering Ted and Annette Fleming

I would go (for free)

― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius),

yes have some

It was worth every penny of the $6 matinee price. Speaking of money, as I watched I wondered how much it would cost to make today, as is. It's not dated, per say, but compared to today's blockbusters its FX are pretty mundane, obviously (even quaintly) practical, and judiciously delivered, even compared to other blockbusters of its era. Then again, if you have peak Murray, and Ramis and Aykroyd, and Moranis, and Weaver at her most statuesque, the FX are almost an afterthought. Your film's best attributes are linked to its stars. And man, especially in light of this thread, this may be the most quotable comedy of its time, or at least since "Airplane." Just every line is perfect, or hilarious, or perfectly hilarious. And very droll. They showed a trailer for the new "Dumb and Dumber" movie beforehand, and the de-evolution was apparent.

Dr. Egon Spengler: Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?

Louis: Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

i DO remember it being droller than Alfred.

lol alfred

Veg, i am amazed you managed to prevent yourself from voting for it as a romantic comedy, tapping on your phone in that club, any ol' cable film careening into yer noggin...

This is certainly the most quoted film that has only 2 quotes i remember in it. (Trick: watch it once per lifetime.)

what the hell are you babbling about

"Aim for the flattop"

My fave gag may remain Murray, in the midst of trashing the hotel ballroom, saying "I've always wanted to do this," then yanking a tablecloth off the one table left standing and destroying everything on there but the flower vase.

Even this movie has a bit of a slobs vs. snobs thing going on, doesn't it?

i DO remember it being droller than Alfred.

― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius)

, that’s very fascinating to me. I read a lot myself. Some people think I’m too intellectual but I think it’s a fabulous way to spend your spare time. I also play racquetball. Do you have any hobbies?

what is that bottle of booze that peter and ray drink after getting kicked out of the university? Sloe gin?

nothing "careens into my noggin
it was a carefully curated ballot full of delightful romps

You never studied.

Apparently eagle-eyes have pegged it as apricot brandy, but not sure of the brand.

Hiram Walker's Apricot Flavored Brandy has been identified as the alcoholic beverage Peter and Ray are drinking in the first Ghostbusters movie. The bottle is a 375ml brown tinted glass bottle, occasionally old empty bottles can be found on eBay.

t's a coupla wavy lines.

are you some kinda cosmonaut

Bite your head off, man.

If someone asks if you are a god you say YES

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.

Huh, I had no idea Rick Moranis essentially retired to become a full time stay at home dad in NYC after his wife died of cancer.

"You gotta come in here! You're missing a classic party!"

It's looking at me.

He's an ugly little spud, isn't he?

I think he can hear you, Ray.

^^^ nimble little minx isn't he

You can have it your way, Mr. Venkman.

Hmm...
http://s27.postimg.org/kyb3wl7ur/Untitled.png

that's why I invited clients instead of friends.

You're still very pale, though.

That's very interesting.

Sumerian, not Babylonian.

Lenny.

Apparently, this is the first time anyone used the word "toast" in this way??

Potts:

"GHOSTBUSTERS, WADDYA WANT?"
"Trax, waddya want?"

also I just watched Corvette Summer and ohmygod

anyways I guess I am madly in love with annie potts
