Talking Can't believe nobody's mentioned --

"Ghostbusters"! On top of imagination, it's full of sly humor:

"You don't often see that kind of behavior in a major appliance."
(-- Venkman, in response to Dana's story of her "haunted" refrigerator)

Ray: "Let's split up."
Venkman: "Good idea; we can do more damage that way."
(-- At the hotel, where they've already trashed several corridors)

"It's a little pricey for a unique fixer-upper opportunity."
(-- Venkman, eyeing the disaster of a firehouse that later becomes their headquarters)

Spengler: "Don't cross the streams [from the particle guns]. . . . Try to imagine the universe imploding and every atom in your body receding at the speed of light."
Venkman: "And that's bad. Okay, everybody, important safety tip --!"

In contrast, the only line I remember from the 2nd film is:
Spengler: "I never had toys."
Ray (aghast): "Not even a Slinky?"
Spengler (nods): "I had a Slinky. I straightened it."
