RIP Harold Ramis (Egon - Ghostbusters)

[Ferral]

Just heard in last hour or so that Harold Ramis who starred in and wrote Ghostbusters 1 & 2, Groundhog Day and so many more during the 80's and 90's has died.

It actually feels like part of my childhood has died. Can't say how many times my parents rented Ghostbusters on video tape back in the day.

RIP Harold Ramis, you will be missed

Just read it on a local news site a couple of hours ago. What a shame.

Also means we won't see him in a follow-up Ghostbusters movie. Well, unless he's playing for the other team...

Indeed: Groundhog Day was as near as a perfect comedy film for me. It's always sad when someone you respect dies, and Mr Ramis is no exception.

Indeed, was going to post this myself, Ghostbusters, man I loved that film. RIP Harold.

Very sad news.

That's pretty gutting news, I watched Groundhog Day again a few weeks ago, and Ghostbusters I & II are always in rotation. He apparently directed some episodes of the US Office as well.

Let's not forget Stripes as well. Hilarious movie. Harold will be truly missed...
