Ghostbusters -
In regards to Ghostbusters, if you weren't old enough to see it in the theatre, you many not be able to appreciate just how original & huge it was. It's 5 star fantastic film. It's no less a horror film than Son of Frankenstein; packed with Horror elements. The ghost scene in the library gave me a fright. I think it's a glaring omission.
What to replace it with is going to be an opinion call. In the top 22, I'd say it's a better film than these (in my order):
The Beyond (1981)
Pet Sematary (1989)
The Changeling (1980)
In Honorable Mentions, IMO it's a more worthy film than all of them; best replacements:
Demons (1985)
Sleepaway Camp (1983)
The Fog (1980)
[others: Near Dark, Day of the Dead, The Return of the Living Dead]
If you consider it a Horror film, and worthy of inclusion, post the film you'd replace it with. Mine is Beyond in the 22, and Sleepaway in Honorable Mentions.

Ghostbusters is a great film, but there is no way it is better than Pet Sematary or The Changeling (or, to be honest, The Beyond. I am a big Fulci fan). I think it is best on the special reccomendations section because,I, personally, would not rank it above any of the films mentioned, except maybe Demons. But, like I said, it is best in that section because it is significant.
