Just checked out the search function, and there's no actual full-on proper thread for Ghostbusters
There's a thread for the sequels etc... but no actual thread.
Well, I've just sat down to watch the original... so starting a thread.
It strikes me the subtlety of the original's humour just in the second scene with Venkman doing his ESP experiment.

Venkman then looks at his blonde female colleague, smiles, and says "Clear you head"

Male Guess: Couple wavy lines
The male experimentee is almost bloody psychic, yet Venkman is a total womaniser (as we learn more as the movie goes on)... telling her to clear her head, pandering to her and smiling.
But it's the way he treats what is potentially an actual psychic for his own sexual gratification rather than the science he's chosen as his major, makes the scene and the character, well, funny.
Ghostbusters, a movie I've not watched for about 8 years... 3 minutes in and I'm loving it all over again.
Anyone wanna throw in?
Fave scenes? Nuances?
There's no actual thread for GB... which I found kinda surprising, so here it is
