The kind that are great and no one else is imaginable in the role and Those that are just unwatchable. I can't think of any that don't fall in one of these two categories. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

I'm sure the Wes Anderson movies fall under Category 1, but I can't stand watching them.

You didn’t like Rushmore? I understand some don’t like Life Aquatic but Rushmore was hilarious and Bill made the film. I’ll never forget he’s in the Jag picking up the red headed braces wearing twins from school and the one in the back seat starts mouthing off and Bill Murray turns around immediately and clocks him. It was so damn funny the other kid in the front seat broke character and started laughing it was that funny. And then Bill is in 80’s style Budweiser swim trunks at the pool, I mean so many scenes. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Yep. Chevy Chase comes to mind. I have heard that Murray is quite the asshole in person. Not unusual for some of these celebrities. | |||

I just watched Ghostbusters a couple of days ago and you can actually see the other actors react negatively when Murray is on camera.

Remember that John Belushi was to be Dr. Peter Vegmann, not Bill Murray. But by then they needed a seance to cast Belushi. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

Honestly after Caddy Shack which he was spectacular, there haven't been any that come even close. None that either he was in or starred. Caddy Shack was great on so many levels that it just elevates everyone that was in it.  | |||

Lost in Translation is Murray's best role IMO. It's even Murray's personal favorite film of his own. But it's not a typical Bill Murray film, and not even really a comedy. | |||

IMO, Bill Murray was at his best paired with Harold Ramis. Ghostbusters, Meatballs, Stripes, Groundhog Day, etc. Harold Ramis knew how to make Murray at his funniest.
Reportedly, he was such an asshole to many people, including Ramis; the two had a falling out after Groundhog Day, not speaking for decades until Ramis was on his deathbed. The accomplishments of Ramis are incredible; he wrote/co-wrote Animal House, Meatballs, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Back to School, Bedazzled, etc. He also directed Caddyshack, National Lampoon's Vacation, Groundhog Day, etc. And Murray decided to freeze him out because of his own insecurities.

| I swear I had something for this |
I guess you can also narrow it down into 2 types: 1) Movies Bill Murray gave a shit about 2) Movies Bill Murray didn't give a shit about | |||

My favorite too and a very nice job by a non glammed-up Scarlett Johansson. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

Lost in Translation is a fantastic movie and Bill was in it doing a good job. We think of him as a funny man and that twists our perception a bit. What about Bob was excellent. He was at the top of his game there. His other movies i saw when i was a kid and wonder how much of my innocence worked in his favor.

Bill Murray has a subsection titled "Fueds" on his Wikipedia page - Murray has said of his reputation: "I remember a friend said to me a while back: 'You have a reputation.' And I said: 'What?' And he said: 'Yeah, you have a reputation of being difficult to work with.' But I only got that reputation from people I didn't like working with, or people who didn't know how to work, or what work is. Jim, Wes and Sofia, they know what it is to work, and they understand how you're supposed to treat people." I liked all the usual Bill Murray favorites- I also liked St. Vincent 'veritas non verba magistri' | |||
