Success can be measured in many more ways than just box office sales. Plus, I said it was very successful, but once again, you cannot claim most successful for any movie. And sorry, but you are the one that is wrong, in every way. One thing any educated person would understand is that comedies do not age well. Over time comedies are just not nearly as good as they were when they were released. It would be the same if you watched a comedian from the 50s or 60s. Their comedy would not be funny anymore because comedy is usually based on what is going on in the world at the time. The bits you see from 20, 30, 40 years ago is just not funny anymore. The comedy in Ghostbusters is over 20 years old, and I'm sorry if you still like it, but for me, it is not funny at all anymore. This is especially true because as a kid I probably saw that movie a million times like everyone else at the time. Every movie or anything else gets old and stale when you have seen or played it way too many times...

It's fine if you don't like the movie, but you've got to realize the ridiculousness of you trying to say that 'people' don't find it funny anymore when the entire rest of the thread disagrees with you. Hell, most comedy movies today have to RELY on sex jokes to sell tickets.
Ghostbusters made comedy gold out of:
-Twinkies
-Slime
-Bill Murray (because he's that awesome)
-Marshmallow men
-Electroshock therapy
-Fancy furniture
Tell me what movie you're more likely to remember in ten years: Ghostbusters or some crap like Are We There Yet or I Love You, Man?
