So many classics movies, RIP.

 

[PsychBat!]

Weird, I thought he commited suicide in 2009 with Year One.

Stupid shitty post.

RIP Harold.

 

[Chao]

What the fuck man, I didnt know he was sick
Really sad news

 

[Zodzilla]

Not saying I'm shocked or anything because he's been getting further out from the public eye since the 90's, but still, what terrible news. I always thought of him as a pretty great actor in Ghostbusters and a pretty great Director for Groundhog Day, so it's sad to see him go. It was refreshing seeing him pop up in Knocked Up for a brief moment, years ago.


Part of me just has to accept that, with cinema being so relatively young as a medium, most of the actors everyone grew up with and enjoyed will start passing away sooner rather than later.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Bummer.

RIP

 

[KingofGourds]

Noooo. Wayyyy. EGON!

Groundhog Day pretty much taught me how to live well....

Time to go watch it again.

 

[KalBalboa]

So upsetting.

I'm reduced to feeling like a 4 year old about this. He was one of my childhood heroes but evolved into a significant role model when I began getting into film making. He made it easier to be brave when I was a kid.

Harold Ramis will absolutely be missed.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I really liked him in Orange County

 

[Mdot]

Motherfucker. This sucks.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Groundhog Day is in my all-time Top 2... awful news. Hope his family stays strong.

The geek in me does wonder what this means for Ghostbusters 3.

Quite simply, you are an absolute cunt.

 

[caderyn]

is this real life

 

[Trike]

What the fuck. Rest in peace.

 

[Armoured Priest]

Ghostbusters is one of my all time favorite movies. I saw it in the theaters in 83. It is one those movies where I've seen it so many times, I can literally quote the whole thing from beginning to end. I've also enjoyed the sequel, the various animated offerings, and the various video games (I'm happy to consider the 360/Ps3 game as Ghostbusters III). I've also enjoyed a number of Mr Ramis other movies as well.

RIP, and thank you.

Tonight I watch Ghostbusters again in his honor.

 

[Cdammen]

Thanks for Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, writing Animal House, and starring in my favorite movies

 

[Mr Swine]

This is sad R.I.P Harold!

 

[KalBalboa]

Weird, I thought he commited suicide in 2009 with Year One.

Please, please, please.

Ban.

 

[El Pescado]

Well this ruined my day. I was obsessed with Ghostbusters as a child. The first career goal I ever had was "Ghostbuster".

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Thanks for the the laughs..damn it..

 

[jimi_dini]

noooooooooooooooo

RIP

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

I feel like I've just been kicked in my gut, really dull pain.

Though he wasn't in it it was still modelled after the movie I have to say The Real Ghostbusters is probably my favourite cartoon of my childhood, I remember rushing home every day after school so I didn't miss it.

RIP Harold.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

I can't go a week without thinking of something related to Caddyshack or Ghostbusters.

Really sucks, man. I watched those two movies a lot in my house, even when I wasn't "ready" for Caddyshack's boobage. Really sucks.

 

[friskykillface]

fuck :'( horrible news to hear today

RIP Harold

 

[Zee-Row]

Big part of my childhood. This sucks.

 

[The Lamonster]

ugh. He had a brilliant mind.

Go watch Multiplicity and The Ice Harvest if you haven't seen them yet, a couple under-appreciated gems of his.


This one hurts.

 

[Timu]

Wow, he's such a great actor in one of my fav movies ever(Ghostbusters), may he R.I.P.

 

[The Real Abed]

What? That sucks! Whyyyy? Why must celebrities die!?

GhostBusters marathon tonight. :-(

 

[Levi]

Cried for a bit, thankfully all alone at work at the moment. Didn't think something Like me this would hit me so hard. The crappy thing about childhood heroes is you outlive them.

 

[R.I.P]

RIP, he has been involved in some of my favorite movies, this really sucks

 

[Walter White Walker]

That sucks.

RIP

 

[Quick Mustard]

Wow, this fucking sucks.
I grew up with Ghostbusters as a young child and loved Egon for being the nerdy one.

Man, cannot believe it.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Right in the childhood :[

RIP

 

[AlexMogil]

Cried for a bit, thankfully all alone at work at the moment. Didn't think something Like me this would hit me so hard. The crappy thing about childhood heroes is you outlive them.

That's really heartfelt. Thanks for that.

 

[Aiii]

RIP, thanks for all the laughs!

 

[Calm Killer]

Terrible news as a fan. May he rest in peace and God be with his family and friends in this difficult time.

 

[whytemyke]

Weird, I thought he commited suicide in 2009 with Year One.

Look, I'm not saying you had to like him...but coming to a death thread and cracking jokes about the guy?

You, sir, can fuck right off.

 

[KalBalboa]

Cried for a bit, thankfully all alone at work at the moment. Didn't think something Like me this would hit me so hard. The crappy thing about childhood heroes is you outlive them.

I'm in the exact same boat. Trying not to get to visibly upset at the office.

I'm 27. The first dream I remember having was of the Ghostbusters visiting my childhood home and saying hi.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I only know him from ghostbusters, one of my favorite films of the 80's. I shall watch that in his remembrance.

Rest
In
Peace

 

[whytemyke]

Also, I thought Ramis was great as Seth Rogen's dad in Knocked Up. Just a very down to Earth role.

Also, no love for Stripes?!

 

[highrider]

RIP. Delightful guy and great writer. Stripes and Caddyshack were huge parts of my life as a youngster.

 

[Sesha]

I saw Groundhog Day for the first time just a few months ago. Unreal. I'll always remember him as Spengler. RIP.

 

[The Boat]

No! Man, that's sad...RIP.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Nooooo
RIP

 

[NeededSleep]

Horrible news horrible.

You will be missed good Sir.

 

[Acorn]

Dammit to hell.

RIP.

 

[-PXG-]

I have one friend who is really upset by this. Damn

RIP

Will re watch Ghostbusters 1 and 2 in his honor

 

[fluffydelusions]

Noooo

RIP

 

[speculawyer]

Two departed comedic stars.


Harold Ramis . . . great on-screen and even better off-screen writing.

Animal House, Groundhog Day . . . two genius movies right there written by Harold Ramis.
