I'm an old man now, but ghostbusters will always be considered a part of a certain collection of childhood favs that pretty much define my character today, the goofy crazy bastard that I am.

Star Wars, none of that prequel crap. The real star wars.

Home Alone, since I love it. It's an understated comedy with a message, not like today's imo stupid potty humor.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. Some kind of stars aligned when they made this movie. This is the perfect companion to ghost busters, really. Both are New York Centric. And I grew up in New York, so both mean a lot to me in that respect.

The Grinch movie kind of gives me a GB vibe… kind of, then there's Toy Story which I think has a similar comedic tone.

Evolution I guess even though I hated it.
Of course I have to mention old school comedies such as Stripes, Meatballs, and trading places. And if you want more Rick Moranis acting like a nerdy guy, pick up Honey I shrunk the Kids.

Man, movies back then were the best… good times.

Similar in what regard? Involving the paranormal? Involving paranormal investigation? Involving paranormal elimination?

Um… what?

No really… care to clarify? I have no idea where you get this vibe from either of these movies.

I def agree with Ninja Turtles and things like that that have been said already though.

Yeah I gotta agree with Kingpin, the list should be more about things dealing with the paranomal and supernatural.
