1. Well, I'll bite

Gotta be Caddyshack!

[rucky]

2. Rushmore wasn't on there...

...so I picked Royal Tannenbaums

[regnaD kciN]

18. That's what...

...the "other" choice is for, and why I picked it.

[mark0rama]

32. Royal T'baums was my favorite of the flicks listed.

But there are Bill Murray movies (i.e., star vehicles), and then there are movies with Bill Murray in the ensemble. Royal T'baums is definitely the latter.

And the best dysfunctional family comedy I've ever seen.

[Dogmudgeon]

3. Rushmore

The high spot in another otherwise trendy-boo movie.

4. Groundhog Day got my vote

but its hard with all the great choices. I also really like the Man Who Knew Too little.

[Raenelle]

20. Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Of course, so are so many other Bill Murray movies. What About Bob? Fucking hilarious. I LOL just recalling it. I luhoooove Bill Murray.

[Tyler Durden]

5. The Razor's Edge.

"Isn't it true that it is easy to be a holy man on a mountain?"

[ixion]

14. That's my choice, too...

I've used that quote for years. Thanks, TD.

[supernova]

15. Excellent Choice!

I've loved it for a long time. Second would probably be Groundhog Day.

[bif]

25. Good pick!

Excellent movie!

[seventhson]

31. Razor's Edge - Somerset Maugham

Murray made this film as part of a package where he made a comedy (stripes or something) and they financed Razor's edge. -- a fairly serious and tragic but wonderful and spiritual and sexy movie based on the Maugham experience among the spiritual monks of the himalayas

[LynneSin]

6. Actually, I heard his new movie is suppose to be spectacular

Lost in Translation did over 2million in business last weekend and it was only in 183 theaters. Most mainstream movies do about 2000-3000 opening weekend. But the movie has rave reviews and Oscar buzz and it's starring - Bill Murray

Go Figure

And you don't have Rushmore on there? GEez, what kind of poll is this one???

[Caution]

7. I picked Groundhog day

But Scrooged should be on this list!

[catzies]

19. SCROOGED!

Gets my vote.

[Paragon]

8. Judging by the reviews and box office recipts...

...it may be his new one, "Lost In Translation". Can't wait til it comes to my town.

[On the Road]

9. Yup, Rushmore Beats Ghostbusters

but you should add his new one "Lost in Translation." It's supposed to be excellent.

[GainesT1958]

10. I voted for "Stripes", but...

To me it's really a three-way tie between that one, "Caddyshack", and "Ghostbusters".

And, hey...wait a minute, NONE of THOSE guys look like Bill Murray!

[GOPFighter]

11. Groundhog Day

One of my all time favorites (along with about 149 others!)

[Wolfman 11]

12. I like Ghosbusters one and two

equally

[Ohio Dem]

13. It's sorta stupid, but I though The Man who Knew too Little was funny.

It was funny in a stupid sort of way, if you know what I mean.

[Nikia]

29. I liked that movie too

Unfortunately, my husband didn't. Maybe, I'll rent it again sometime that he won't be around.

[Fight_n_back]

16. The fact that What about Bob has

the same number of votes as Caddyshack shows why the Democratic Party is doomed.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

17. Toss up between Groundhog Day and What About Bob

GD was in the lead so I voted for WAB

[Spirochete]

21. Where the Buffalo Roam

He was a better Hunter Thompson than Johnny Depp, I thought.

[zekeson]

27. Forgot about that one

which I can't believe I did! excellent

[trogdor]

22. Quick Change

"What kind of clown are you?"

"The crying on the inside kind, I guess."

[jus_the_facts]

39. Absoultely HI-larious.....love love love loved it......

....always love his movied though...always loved him since his beginnings on SNL when I was a wee lass....just seeing him makes me LOL!!

[Love Bug]

23. "Lost in Translation"

I saw it last week and LOVED it! Can't wait to get the DVD! It's a definitely different movie for him. There's funny stuff in it, but it's not a comedy (in spite of the commercials). Bill Murray has proven that he is an ACTOR. Pretty damn good for an SNL alumnus.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

24. Rushmore

Great sad/funny performance.

[Emboldened Chimp]

26. Scrooged!

A perfect vehicle for him.

[Scurrilous]

28. I voted for ...

...Caddyshack. Kingpin is a close second.

[VermontDem2004]

30. I nominate the Man Who Knew Too Little

What about Bob was also hillarious.

[CanuckAmok]

33. "these are "OR" scrubs"...

..."O, R they?"

Rushmore, hands down.

I also liked him in Razor's Edge. Good movie based on the Maughm novel, but not marketed very well.

[CanuckAmok]

34. "these are "OR" scrubs"...

..."O, R they?"

Rushmore, hands down.

I also liked him in Razor's Edge. Good movie based on the Maughm novel, but not marketed very well.

[toddzilla]

35. what about quick change?

i found that movie pretty funny, although it doesn't hold a candle to groundhog day. not much does..

[Deja Q]

36. What, nobody but nobody likes "Meatballs"?!

Just kidding!

Early 80s summer camp movies.

[blondeatlast]

37. SCROOGED! SCROOGED! SCROOGED!

But most of the credit goes to the supporting cast--especially Carol Kane.

[Southsideirish]

38. 'Guess I'm the only person in the world that can't stand Bill Murray.

He was funny on the old SNL but ever since he went into movies he just has this same sort of sarcastic "aint' I cool" droll persona that drives me crazy. He's the same in every movie - sometimes more active than others but, basically, the same. I thought Rushmore was the worst movie I ever saw and walked out which I never do but it was so rotten - well, I walked out.

[Nevernose]

40. Where the Buffalo Roam

It wasn't as good as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," but I thought Bill did a great job as Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.

Oh, and ditto on the Ghostbusters thing -- heck of an oversight there.
