The 1999 transfer admittedly has a more red-ish tone to it and and tiny bit too dark but it has more natural looking colours than the 2005 (Green Double Feature) DVD. Plus 2005 DVD has been slightly cropped. I think the 2009 Blu Ray is basically a re-scan of the 2005 master. The 2014 Mi4K is probably overall the best all-round version in terms of colour and clarity and an instant recommendation for someone who’s never owned Ghostbusters previously but it’s a bit too bright for my liking. I would just love an HD version of the 1999 transfer purely out of personal preference. It may not be how it looked in theaters back in 1984 but it’s just the version I remember watching on VHS/TV in the early 90’s and later on DVD. If anyone could point me in the right direction of the 1080i HDTV rip of it that would be amazing!
