20 Best Movie Taglines Of All Time
8. Ghostbusters
The tagline: ‘Who ya gonna call?’
Has any movie in recent times suffered such a vehement pre-release backlash as the all-female Ghostbusters reboot?
There were plenty of DC fanboys (and many more considered, non-judgemental moviegoers) going to bat for Batman V Superman prior to its release, whereas the new Ghostbusters has but a pocket of defenders, some of whom (rightly) cite misogyny as a pertinent factor.
But an overriding sense of imminent disappointment prevails nonetheless, and that’s because the original Ghostbusters is just so damn perfect that a reboot is practically a fool’s errand.
And the theme song by Ray Parker Jr. was damn perfect too. A shameless rip-off of Huey Lewis hit ‘I Want a New Drug’ it may be, but the remix that’s featured in the trailers for the new Ghostbusters is the only element that’s been warmly received across the board.
