Best Bill Murray movie

[ten ocho recon scout]

Watching What about Bob right now. Havent watched it in probably 20 years. Vintage Bill.

What are his top 5 movies?

[Tank]

Stripes

caddy shack

scrooged

ghostbusters

what about bob

[IEAngelsfan]

I didn't like many of his movies, but the two that I did like were Caddy Shack and Ghostbusters.

[ten ocho recon scout]

I think Quick Change was the best. Scrooged is up there for sure. Tie with what about bob and groundhog day.

His best performance, but not really his movie, was kingpin. By far. Hes gold in that.

Life Aquatic is a great one, too.

I just looked at his list and realized I haven't seen many of his movies (at least where he's a main character).

What About Bob and Groundhogs Day are classics. And I'll be honest, I really liked Lost in Translation and thought it was great that he did something different.

[cez]

his character in caddyshack was so dumb, and so perfect. it was sad seeing aykroyd try to do something similar in 2, and fail so badly. 

what about bob and groundhog day are 2 movies i'll watch if they pop up on tv, even though i already own the videos.

Im probably the only weirdo out there who will say this, but i kind of like ghostbusters 2 better than the first one.

Groundhog Day, Quickchange and Zombieland

[Adam]

Kingpin, Rushmore and Groundhog Day are my favorites 

[Tank]

So nobody else liked Stripes? Wow.

[gotbeer]

Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Groudhog Day, Meatballs.

Oh and Garfield.

[Angel Oracle]

So many were funny roles for him, can’t narrow it to five.

The most classic role is of course Carl Spackler.

I’m sure some tired of I Got You Babe, after watching GroundHog Day.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Scrooged, Kingpin, Groundhog Day and Zombieland.  Big Ern is probably one of my favorite characters of any movie.

I was surprised it took this long for someone to say Garfield!  My 3 y/o daughter has been obsessed with that movie lately!  The only non animated movie she watches.  It's still garbage. 

[mrwicked]

all the best ones mentioned.

could arguably say his best work was in broken flowers.

my favorite character though was in kingpin.

[NJHalo]

Kingpin, Stripes, and Meatballs

He is a great comedic actor, but if he has to ad-lib, he is not funny at all.

Naw, I liked it.  Vigo the Carpathian and the little weird dude rocked.

The court scene is the best.

Zombieland is quite overlooked. Even though Bill plays himself, it's still a hilarious performance.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Almost need a second thread to ask what his best part in kingpin was.

[Mark68]

Caddyshack

Stripes

Scrooged (my favorite Christmas movie of all time)

Groundhog Day

Ghostbusters

Honorable mentions: Zombieland and Lost In Translation

[the dude abides]

Groundhog Day

What About Bob?

Ghostbusters

[Slegnaac]

Groundhogs Day

Stripes (with deleted scenes)

What about Bob?

Scrooged

Groundhogs Day

KIngpin was good, and brought back memories of the PBA tour on ABC.   Murray is pretty sleazy in it.

How many kids would love having a Tripper running their summer camp?   The Fink vs the Stomach scene was a classic.

How many Sgt. Hulkas truly want a Winger in their platoon?   Lighten up, Francis!

Zombieland is great, and he was great in it. But that was just a cameo, people probably dont even think of that one.

His garfield line in that was great.

this is the real question thread.

everyone always quotes him (and rightfully so), but for me it's how his hair progressively gets worse for no reason.
