Ahhh crap. RIP.

 

[Wingfan19]

Hooooooooly shit. Wow out of no where. Damn what a way to start the day off, Ghostbusters is my favorite movie of all time, probably seen it well over 100 times. He and the other 3 guys are like my idols.

 

[Slayven]

rip

 

[Cheebo]

Look at this list of movies he either wrote or directed (in many cases both):

National Lampoon's Animal House
National Lampoon's Vacation
Ghostbusters 1 &2
Stripes
Caddyshack
Meatballs
Groundhog Day

That is a LEGENDARY resume.

 

[Ovid]

It was great seeing him in Knocked Up. I hadn't seen him years prior to that movie.

RIP Harold.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

that's one epic resume to go out with though.

 

[Rentahamster]

Aw fuck

 

[RangersFan]

Egon, NO! RIP!

 

[Manu]

RIP Dr. Spengler

 

[jufonuk]

RIP Egon Spengler

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

On wow. This is the first celebrity death in a long while that truly got to me.

Don't even know what to say.

 

[RetroGreg]

RIP. You will be missed

 

[Ryaaan14]

Huge loss. God dammit.

 

[Harlock]

Ghostbusters are eternal. Never going to make another 4 characters so good together.

 

[Drake]

Shit, man. This sucks. Egon was the best. RIP.

 

[Starsunder]

Oh man, devastated by this. He was responsible for so many of my favorite classics.

RIP Egon.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Fuck. It's weird when people you have had toys of since you were a little kid die.

 

[TheYanger]

Fuck A true talent that had a hand in MANY of my favorite films.

 

[H3xum]

Wow, this is a tragedy. He was responsible for some of the most quote worthy hilarious movies to ever be made.

RIP

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Sad.

Enjoy your big twinkie in the afterworld, Egon.

 

[Xyrmellon]

Well this sucks. If he had been in that bad of shape for the last few years he never would have been in GB 3 anyway. Murray not liking the script is one thing, but now that one of them is gone, no sale.

 

[RoadHazard]

That sucks. He's done some great things.

 

[Coins]

What??

:-(

Fuck.

 

[Acid08]

Wow, fuck . Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Caddyshack. All movies I watched with my dad growing up. Movies that helped shape my sense of humor for years to come. RIP.

 

[Blablurn]

Fuck

 

[GK86]

Damn. one of the greats. RIP.

 

[Son Of D]

I didn't really appreciate his movies until I was older, but he made some fantastic work. Really upsetting news. RIP

 

[smokeymicpot]

Holy shit. Rip

 

[RandomDancing]

Noooooo my first nerd crush was on Egon Spengler. RIP Harold

 

[RurouniZel]

RIP

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

bummer

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Ugh.

Rest in Peace buddy. Loved Ghostbusters.

 

[flyover]

Look at this list of movies he either wrote or directed (in many cases both):
...
Groundhog Day

That is a LEGENDARY resume.

If you read the original drafts of the Groundhog Day screenplay (by Danny Rubin) and compare them to what finally wound up onscreen (after several Ramis/Rubin rewrites), you can see just how amazing Ramis was. The original script was okay, but the final version is damn near perfect movie construction, at least to me.

 

[MikeHattsu]

Damn. RIP

 

[CarbonRevenge]

This will now sadden me as I rewatch his classic films that i've come to love.

RIP, you awesome bastard.

 

[BroDudeGuy]

God dammit, loved everything he did, he was a great man. Much love to his family during this time, RIP.

 

[Dai101]

NO. Not Egon.............. NOOOOOOO

In your honor. R.I.P.

 

[Space Runaway]

Very unexpected and very sad. He was an excellent writer/director/actor who made and starred in several of my all-time favorite movies. RIP

 

[thenexus6]

I am watching Groundhog day right now

 

[Shellshock929]

Wow, this really sucks. I enjoyed his work, especially Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day. He will be missed.

 

[Lonestar]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

RIP H.R.

Not going to lie, this hurts me more than P.S.H.

 

[bengraven]

This one really hurts.

 

[pigeon interrupted]

Aww, no. Proper nice bloke and great writer. Ghostbusters, Groundhog day...

I'm gonna throw a chocolate bar in my local sports centre pool in his honour.

RIP

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

God dammit.

RIP

 

[Volimar]

Just saw this on my twitter feed. RIP Egon.

 

[Ath]

No way R.I.P. Mr Ramis.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Damn. If I listed my top movies of all time Harold Ramis would be responsible for more of them than any other person. His credits are amazing. Groundhog Day alone is God Tier.

 

[SpikedGunner]

Oh man, I'm literally shocked and sadden to hear this. Ghostbusters will always be in my heart.

Rest in Peace Mr. Ramis.

 

[Drake]

I'll be forever thankful to Harold Ramis. The first time I ever got some serious action with a chick was when we were watching Bedazzled on her couch late at night (This was sometime in 2001). One thing lead to another and, well I'm sure you can figure out the rest. Thanks buddy and RIP.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

What a shitty fucking day.
