The NZA Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Dr Peter Venkman Bill Murray's always been one of my favorites, and Life Aquatic recently helped me remember that. But what's his finest performance, in your opinion? I left out his SNL work, and insignificant roles like Garfield ( ), but if it was longer, idve added his scene from "Coffee & Cigarettes". Between Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters & others, ima have to think it over, myself. Hondo's needs to do some kinda homage for this man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristyandJake Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 you shouldnt ask people to choose between varying degrees of awesomeness Hes great at everything, but I thought he was great in Lost in Translation because it was different than all his other stuff and he pulled it off with amounts of greatness only Bill Murray can.

mysterytramp Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I went for Rushmore. It's probably my favourite film of all time and it also contains some prime Bill Murray moments, listening to the Wes Anderson commentary on the DVD gives a lot of insight into Murray's performance, like the scene in the hospital elevator being almost totally improvised by him.

Reverend Jax Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Some people told me Broken Flowers was no good, but they also said it was no good because it was like Sideways, and I loved Sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 i still cant vote for ghostbusters, or groundhog day, becuase i wont sleep well knowing one is left at a staggering 0 votes from you crazy, crazy people. Someone help me out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) Have you seen What About Bob? Just wondering, not everyone has. I think Ghostbusters may be the better movie, but WAB? has the better Murray performance. And no one has complained about the lack of The Royal Tenembaums as a choice. I thought someone would.

MusicManiac Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 IC Id bail ya out but I gotta stick with my original vote for What About Bob...followed closely by Caddyshack. Its justy the funniest performance...Baby steps dr. leo... GB and GHD were both great as well but not Murray's best. I haven't seen Aquatic yet so I might have a new fave...who knows?

Lycaon Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 theCHIVE EXCLUSIVE: If you're a fan of Bill Murray, you're going to love this story.Mike Impollonia (pictured above) is a very lucky man. I was sent these photo after Mike and his friends went out to have a few drinks at their local Karaoke bar, Karaoke One 7 in NYC. Shortly after their arrival, Mike noticed that a couple women had just walked into the place with a man that looked a lot like… Bill Murray?! The crew went out to confirm that the man, was in fact, Bill Murray himself. Mike's friend even mustered the courage to invite Bill to chill in their room, but they just laughed it off. There's no way that was going to happen. I'll let Mike take it from here: "About 15 minutes later we get a knock on the door... IT'S BILL F@#KING MURRAY! We were all shocked of course but at that point we were already pretty trashed so the party just kept going. He was super nice and they all fit right in. His girl was really cute, and as far as i remember, from Amsterdam. She sang a bunch of random French songs! At some point he bought us all a round of some weird green drink and wouldn't tell us what it was. I later found out it was Chartreuse some French liqueur made by monks. Apparently you are supposed to sip it ... like an idiot I just shot it down. The high point was when Bill and I sang a duet of an Elvis song called, "Marie's the Name." Random I know, but so was the night. We were all drinking and dancing and screaming our asses off. We tried not to make him feel uncomfortable though of course later we all joked about picking the Ghostbusters theme. Amazingly, they stuck around the entire night, about 4 hours. As you can imagine it was all pretty surreal. Something I will never ever forget…Viva Bill Murray!" http://thechive.com/2011/01/05/what-if-bill-murray-just-showed-up-in-your-karaoke-room-9-photo-exclusive/ So, given this and his 2010 SXSW stint behind the bar: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwwEGjGbxXM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwwEGjGbxXM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwwEGjGbxXM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> I'm wondering if the man's just wandering the earth having a good time with random people. It's a beautiful thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Only in my wildest dreams can I think of having a night like that. Although, I imagine that that day I spent with 2Track at Megacon would be what it would be like. In Miami you only get the superficial celebs. Nobody cool like Bill Fucking Murray. Twice now I've hung out with Pitbull at the club. WACK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The Chive link is broken, but it's still an awesome story. Billy Murray is so the fuckin' man. I'm not sure why RZAs attempt to use his name as a phrase meaning "cool, hip, or excellent" never caught on. And he he also did this awesome short film for some random dudes a few years back. In Miami you only get the superficial celebs. Nobody cool like Bill Fucking Murray. Twice now I've hung out with seen Pitbull do blow in the bathroom at the club. WACK! Corrected for accuracy.
