Ghostbusters was the film of the moment after its release in 1984. Yet, its impact wasn't ever certain. This movie was a comedy-sci-fi-supernatural crowd-pleaser that dared to be quirky. Critics and audiences equally fell in love with the memorable cast, theme song, and inventive special effects. Though it grossed millions at the box office, to have had such an enduring impact on pop culture, from that line of merchandise to this most recent reboot, makes it feel all the more important.
