@wrongitty wrongmcsteen,

By "most successful comedy of the 1980s" I meant "it made more money than any other comedy in the 1980s." Don't try to turn this into a semantics battle. You know what I meant, and you were wrong. The goal of big budget films is to make money. Ghostbusters succeeded at that goal harder than any other comedy in the 80's. That makes it the most successful comedy of the 1980's.

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...
