Gremlins vs Ghostbusters

[upsidedownwalrus]

This is strictly the first films, OK? If we're bringing Gremlins 2 and Ghostbusters 2 into it, the argument gets much more complicated, as Gremlins 2 is a masterpiece whilst Ghostbusters 2 is shocking.

But if it's first films only, Ghostbusters is far better.

 

[Badgers]

poll

 

[krtek a houby]

Gremlins all the way. Bill Murray's character just comes across as sexually harrasing...

 

[kittyP]

Always Ghostbusters!

 

[FridgeMagnet]

But if it's first films only, Ghostbusters is far better.

well yeah

so it's not much of a poll is it

I kinda want somebody else to agree with you know, just because I feel a little sad for you being in a minority of one.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ghostbusters, very little contest.

go on then.

I'll vote Gremlins. I haven't seen ghostbusters.

Nah, we are legion.

Yeah, it was just someone was ascertaining that Gremlins was much better on the other thread

I should have had more options I guess to try to take the sequels into account.

This place is full of weirdos.

 

[STFC]

I absolutely love both films. Impossible to choose.

[kyser_soze]

Ghostbusters edges it for me, cos it doesn't have a down-home storyline thing that makes me want to punch things and wish the 'bad guys' win, the way I get with Gremlins. Even when they're torturing Gizmo.

 

[RaverDrew]

Too hard to pick, I love both films.

 

[themonkeyman]

easy choice that

No contest. Its Ghostbusters by a country mile.

Now do it against Back to the future.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

"Ghostbusters" for me - I like "Gremlins" and gizmo is cute but nothing in that matchs people being slimed

Now that IS tough. Really wouldn't know which to pick.

B2F1, followed by B2F3... B2F2 is kinda dark

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Get out of town, Back to the Future 2 is infinitely better than 3.

Apparently the idea for Slimer was that he was supposed to be John Belushi's ghost

I like it - but it's an oddity - it doesn't fit with the mood of the other two.

 

[kyser_soze]

I want Revol and Reno to come down to this thread and apply Srz Flim Critz to these much loved, family favourites.

I recently re-watched two and a lot of it is actually kinda ropey (even from the POV of someone who previously had it down as possibly the best). It's all over the place and essentially tries to do a bit too much. I never hated 3 as much as everyone else seems to, I think it has quite a charm.

Although it does have Fox's 'Irish' accent

3 is brilliant, apart from the accent

 

[STFC]

I really can't see what you were hoping to achieve with this thread, upsidedownwalrus.

At Christmas too. Shame on you.

I rewatched them both quite recently and still much prefer two...
