Bill Murray's greatest role...

[Archae]

30 years ago, "Caddyshack."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

1. You may be right...I also like "Groundhog Day"...

...but it's hard to beat lines like "Bark like a dog for me...I will show you the meaning of respect..."

:rofl:

:toast:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

2. I thought he did fine in The Razor's Edge

:hide:


I really did though.

[Midwestern Democrat]

3. Probably "Ghostbusters" - he's quite the comedic force in that one. NT

[Radical Activist]

11. "Yes, it's true.

This man has no dick."

I agree.

[NewJeffCT]

31. That was a great line

perfectly delivered.

[XemaSab]

4. No love for "What About Bob?"

Baby steps. :D

[CreekDog]

5. That's mine

:rofl:

[Lindsey]

6. It's funny, I was thinking just thinking about him the other day

and how he really has been in some incredible movies. My favorite is Groundhog Day. I also loved Mr. Scrooge.

[Archae]

7. The true star of Caddyshack was Rodney.

Rodney Dangerfield drove in and OWNED the rest of that movie.

[kentauros]

17. Absolutely!

"Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh? Oh, it looks good on you though."

"Oh, this your wife, huh? A lovely lady. Hey baby, you must've been something before electricity."

:rofl:


Of course, plenty of sports fans remember Bill's "commentary" when he's lopping the tops off those flowers

[NewJeffCT]

32. hey Wang, I heard this club is restricted - so, don't tell 'em you're Jewish

Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it.

[Zavulon]

38. +1.

I'm sorry, but Murray's performance was grossly overrated. He didn't make me laugh once in that movie. Rodney, on the other hand, was hilarious from start to finish.

[OmahaBlueDog]

8. Stripes

Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out! The hell's the matter with you? Stupid! We're all very different people. We're not Watusi. We're not Spartans. We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts! Here's proof: his nose is cold! But there's no animal that's more faithful, that's more loyal, more loveable than the mutt. Who saw "Old Yeller?" Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end? ...Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I'm sure.... I cried my eyes out. So we're all dogfaces, we're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us - we're soldiers. But we're American soldiers! We've been kicking ass for 200 years! We're 10 and 1! Now we don't have to worry about whether or not we practiced. We don't have to worry about whether Captain Stillman wants to have us hung. All we have to do is to be the great American fighting soldier that is inside each one of us. Now do what I do, and say what I say. And make me proud.

[upstandingcitizens]

30. absolutely the best n/t

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

9. Lost in Translation

[Tikki]

25. I agree....

Tikki

[old mark]

26. Yeah! I really loved that one - I think parts are really hilarious, and

I really enjoyed it all...have to rent it from netflix, make Bill another quarter or so..

mark

add; obviously, this was the Bill Murray movie for sensitive intellectuals or else old guys with fantasies about being attractive to younger women...

[denbot]

10. Tough one.. I can't chose between Caddy Shack, or Stripes, but for cameo spot.

Zombieland, hands down.

[Iggo]

12. There's a definite body of work, btu I gotta go with Stripes.

"B-BLOOOOOWN UP, SIR"

[flvegan]

13. He made "Scrooged" a very funny movie.

But yeah, probably "Caddyshack"

[hedgehog]

21. Scrooged got buried in the avalanche of Christmas movies,

but I think it's the best interpretation of the Christmas Carol, ever. Murray's final speech is the best Christmas homily, ever.

[Glorfindel]

36. "Scrooged" is my favorite Bill Murray movie

I watch it every Christmas season (it's available on NetFlix streaming so I don't need to buy it!)

[CabalPowered]

14. Where the Buffalo Roam

"But I made a smart move checking into this place because, you know, in case I lose it totally, l know I'll be safe in the arms
of the Sisters of Mercy."

:rofl:

[Steely_Dan]

15. Regarding Caddyshack...

I heard that they only had Bill for three days of shooting. I think this makes Bill's performance even more amazing.

The best scene is well...they are all good.

I particularly liked when he is golfing flowers with his hoe. Oh...and when he and Chevy are in his cave...priceless.

[hibbing]

16. and on your deathbed you will receive total consciousness

Hey,
I love the guy and really wish he would do more movies. I really have a hard time picking one, but I did love his performance in Caddyshack. Sports Illustrated recently had an article with some "interviews" from the major players. You will never think of Rodney the same way after reading it.

peace

[Bertha Venation]

18. You slut.

Don't ignore the supporting roles. He was great in "Tootsie."

[Richardo]

22. "Mom?"

Might be the greatest one-word delivery ever. Still makes me laugh. :rofl:

[BillStein]

19. a masterful cameo

Little Shop of Horrors!

"Doesn't this frighten you?"

"Oooooooh yes <giggle>"

No one ever did a better masochist!

[krispos42]

29. "I'm gonna get a candybar! CANDYBAR!! OH YES!! CAAAANNNDYBAR!"

:rofl:

[charlie and algernon]

20. Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters, What About Bob?, Caddyshack

I even think he does a great job in Lost in Translation.

For cameo jobs, Zombieland wins hands down.

[Common Sense Party]

23. Zombieland.

It was a stretch, playing that role.

[uncommon]

34. I was actually impressed by it - he was only in the movie for a few minutes, but he was really funny

and then made this incredible sad moment really powerful but still funny... he is an artist.

[Common Sense Party]

35. I thought he was hilarious.

I loved that he would poke fun at his own public persona a bit.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. What About Bob?

Has to be that. Even Richard Dreyfus couldn't stand him in that movie, for real. But he was so funny in that role.

I'd also throw in his cameo in "Zombieland"--totally out of the blue.

[RandomThoughts]

28. Yea that movie is really deep.

Got to love the crazy in it. Love Bill Murray.

I also liked the classic, Councilors in Training at Camp North Star.

Meatballs Final campfire

[joeybee12]

27. Retirement...n/t

[foxfeet]

37. Yeah, I was going to say "undiscovered in the first place."

I know many out there love him, but he has just never tripped my trigger.

[proteus_lives]

33. Love the Shack but I gotta go with Groundhog Day.
