Bill Murray

[Augustus Gloop]

A legend, but here's another reason why:

Playing in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am yesterday.

Ball on the green, sizing up his putt, someone called out "Kevin Costner made one from there."

Bill, deadpan, instantly says, "Kevin Costner also made Water World."

I love that man.

I love him too- me favourite actor

I am off to purchase Groundhog Day at lunchtime.

A triumph. Not only because it's piss funny but also because Murray makes arguably the only film where 'we' don't mind sitting through nearly two hours of Andie McDowell. For that he deserves our thanks, it could've been quite painful.

He was class in ghostbusters too. As was Dan. Ackroyd. Who says the yanks aren't funny eh??

Chevy Chase and Steve Martin too. Comic Geniuses.

 

[Anders_Panders]

and he's really good in Scrooged- all his characters are fairly similar so I wonder if he's like that in real life

 

[Augustus Gloop]

Apparently he's a throughly decent chap. He once famously gatecrashed some strangers party and proceeded to do the washing up.

The Man Who Knew Too Little - absolutely brilliant

and what's that one where he plays a mental, who follows his psychiatrist (richard dreyfuss, i think) on holiday and proceeds to be a mental? that's farking class too..

What about Bob?

Yes but unlike the other three, Mr Murray has continued to make wonderful films, I can't think of that many good films the other three have made in the last 10 years ... no I'm wrong I can't think of any!

Bowfinger. Brilliant.

I'm with Mr.Seed on Steve Martin, it all ended around the time of Father of the bride 2.

 

[gon2seed]

Thanks for the support Miss T Father of the Bride ,

but the cinematic simian has a better memory than me, Bowfinger was a good-un,

Agreed. I'm soooo pleased Gloop has provided this thread, it's just a case of which film to watch first. Going for Groundhog Day tonight.

 

[Augustus Gloop]

Groundhog Day was class. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm on a Christopher Guest tip tonight. Best in Show followed by For Your Consideration.
