What's your favorite Bill Murray Movie?

reply

Scrooged & Groundhog Day are my all-time favorites, I watch them every year around Christmas.

I also like Tootsie, Ghostbusters and Quick Change but it's been a while since I've last seen these movies.

Bill's one of those actor's that has so many that I like. So I want to make a list of his truly best work

Where The Buffalo Roam (1980)- I prefer his version of Hunter S Thompson then Depps in Fear and Loathing, although I think Fear and Loathing is a better film. But this is a better film then many give credit for.

Caddyshack (1980)- One of his very best comedic roles, his part's are what make this film memorable imo.

Stripes (1981)- He prefected the Murray layback smartass in this that many haven't come close too since, with a cast of John Candy, Harold Ramis and Warren Oates. You can't go wrong with this. Better then 6.9 on Imdb.

Tootsie (1982)- Great chemistry with Dustin Hoffman, and is the films main stand out.

Ghostbusters (1984)- What can I say, one of my favourite's of all time. Murray's great.

Scrooged (1988)- Murray shows why he's a great leading man, with great comedic moments but carrying the drama just as well.

Quick Change (1990)- One of Murray's more underrated film, that deserves more love. Great chemistry between him, Geena Davis and Randy Quaid.

What About Bob? (1991)- Another one of Murray's underrated comedic turns, great turn too from Richard Dreyfuss.

Groundhog Daddy (1993)- Definitely one of his best films and performances, a bit like a modern day Frank Cappa film. Murray is awesome.

Mad Dog and Glory (1993)- A massively underrated film, Murray steals the film from De Niro. Playing a mobster. Murray's early 90's has so many underrated cult classic's.

Ed Wood (1994)- Murray almost steals the film in a smaller role, definitely Tim burton's greatest film in my opinion.

Kingpin (1996)- Murray playing a right scumbag villain, then check this out. A laugh out funny comedy.

Rushmore (1998)- Murray begins his stint with Wes Anderson with his still his best turn for Anderson. Great film.

Cradle Will Rock (1999)- Tim Robbin's underrated musical drama set in the 30's, Murray is great with a top cast.

The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)- Not Murray's most stand out performance, but he still deliver's in a smaller role in Anderson's great follow up to Rushmore.

Lost in Translation (2003)- Murray should have won the Oscar for this, not a fan overall of the film (I know many will disagree with me on that) but he's the best thing about it.

Coffee and Cigarettes (2003)- Short films, Murray acting alongside Wu Tang Clan. Shouldn't work, but ends up been the best part of the film imo.

The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou (2004)- One of Anderson's more underrated films, Murray is the best thing about it.

Broken Flowers (2005)- One of Murray's more underrated performances. Great film too.

Zombieland (2009)- Steals the film just by playing himself.

St Vincent (2014)- Another Murray masterclass in acting. Good film too.

Definitely had one of the better careers, probably rival's Robin Williams as a comedian who's gone onto been just as awesome dramatic actor.
