25 Years On: Ghostbusters Is Back!
![]() |
It's exactly 25 years since Ghostbusters was unleashed onto the world. Starring the genial comic talents of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis as a trio of ghoul-battling exterminators, it's undoubtedly one of the 1980s' funniest and most memorable movies.
Feeling nostalgic? Well so are the good people of Hollywood. Ghostbusters 3, starring the original trio from the 1984 classic, is headed for a release in 2012. As things stand at the moment, original director Ivan Reitman is also returning to the franchise.
If you can't wait that long, the original comes out on Blu-Ray on 15 June.
But Ghostbusters isn't the only 80s franchise making it's return in the years ahead. In a bid to draw in punters with movies they remember from the golden era of materialism and Michael Jackson, movie producers are bringing back a slew of 80s classics.
It's the return of the 80s flicks! Meet them below.
