Ghostbusters for the win! Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper brilliantly turn suburbia into a spirit-filled nightmare in Poltergeist, but watching Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis take on all the ghosts of the Big Apple (and then some) is a lot more fun.

Poltergeists effects and scares don't hold up quite as well by today's standards, Ghostbusters however, has aged quite gracefully. Ghostbusters for the Win!

There was no part of Poltergeist that I enjoyed watching. One of the least fun films I've ever seen. Probably why I have it near the bottom of my Flickchart. And while Ghostbuster's effects haven't aged all that well, the humor is still top notch. Ghostbusters wins this one by a landslide.

Agree with most of the above...Potergeist just doesn't hold up. Ghostbusters smashes here...

My parents made the mistake of concieving me long after these movies were released. For that reason, I didn't grow up when these were popular, therfore, I don't get the hype behind either of them. Although Ghostbusters, I think wins here.
