What made Ghostbusters 1 and 2 so special was Harold Ramis who wrote it. The man is comedic genius up there with Mel Brooks in my opinion.
Also, when you have a cast with not only Ramis but Ackroid, Murray, Moranis(sp?) Weaver and Hudson you can't go wrong.
Seriously, I don't know why Harold Ramis doesn't get more credit for the scripts he wrote and is considered one of the best. From Animal House to Caddy Shack to Stripes to Ghostbusters, the man was a great writter. I'm sure if he were alive today, Ghostbusters 2016 would have been great.
