Ran (1985)

Ghostbusters

Plot

After losing their jobs at Columbia University, a trio of misfit parapsychologists Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, and Egon Spengler establish their own paranormal exterminator service, “Ghostbusters.” The business, operating out of an abandoned fire station, gets off to a slow start, but just as they run out of money, the Ghostbusters are contacted by the upscale Sedgewick Hotel to investigate a haunting. At the hotel, they successfully (albeit chaotically) capture their first ghost and deposit him into a “containment unit” of their own design located at the Ghostbusters office. Paranormal activity appears to be on the rise in the city and business skyrockets for the Ghostbusters, who become local celebrities and hire a fourth member, Winston Zeddemore.  Read more...
