The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is starting to get recognition as somewhat of a eccentric masterpiece, and one day I believe this will go down as Murray's greatest performance, even more so than in LIT.
I don't know.. lost in translation is pretty deep. They're both amazing and so under rated.
It's a very entertaining and underrated movie.
But, without a doubt, it will never be seen as Murray's best movie/character. At least I hope not.
alexxxandder Yes and No. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is Wes Anderson and Bill Murray…Not only one of them. There is a clear and wide bridge between the Wes and Murray brigade.
This movie is a-fucking great film!!!
You're missing 'What About Bob?' :(
Yeah, What About Bob? is number one to me! How could they leave it out!
They're also missing Bill Murray from Zombieland XD
Watchmojo is definitely missing some greatest on some subjects...What About Bob? is one of the bests
LloydonII yea I think zombie land is my favorite
This is a great list, but then you mentioned "What About Bob" I'm probably in the minority, but I'd definitely rank that better than "Lost in Translation" Both great films, though.
His character in "The Razor's Edge" was very moving to me personally. In fact, I don't think I'll ever forget it, and it's probably my personal #1 Bill Murray Character, next to the Lost in Translation and Rushmore.
For me, Groundhog day is the best movie ever made. The story, the message plus Bill's and Andie's performance and chemistry... WOW, it all came together 25 years ago, hats off and respect to all who made that movie. Oh yeah, and THANKS :-)
What about Bob?
Yeah,what the hell? Wheres What about Bob?! Or The man who new too little? This is a crap list.
What about Quick Change?
Ben Fruit I love what about bob?!! Perhaps he is taking a vacation from his problems!!
Ben Fruit That should have been on the list instead of his Scroog. Also Big Ern should been in the top 3 for sure. Love him in King Pin. Mainly because 90% of his lines were improvised and the rest he changed.
Razor's Edge is definitely one of my favorite Bill Murray roles, he is a character in a sad sullen position, but his subtle presence makes what could be an insufferable and depressing movie into an amazing film.
Some buddies of mine were at a McDonalds and Bill Murray came in and after he ordered he went over to them grabbed a hand full of their fries and said "No ones ever going to believe you" and walked off.
Blake Richa93 Cereal?!
He had a son who played us in football back in highscool and Bill came to the game. Some of the team went to McDonald's after to eat and that's when it happen. I wasn't there but I really want to believe it lol
+Blake Richa93 .....Get out! ..you serious??....
boxingfit
They should have called the cops since Bill stole their french fries, lol!
+drServitis that is a class story ...peace
Lost in translation is a favorite of mine and Bill's favorite film he ever did.
It may have been a very small side role. But his performance in the Dentist scene in "Little Shop of Horrors" is honestly perfect.
Even his cameo in Zombieland was classic. Not big enough to make the top 10, but deserves an honourable mention!
Q: Any regrets?
A: “Heathcliff, I guess….”
Brilliant
what about bob is the best
Must be #11 ah ha ha
Meatballs is good too
I was bob for halloween and I had a fish and my mom was groundhog day and my sis was anime and my dad was I forgot :(
Groundhog Day is a classic, I'm glad that it was in the top 5 region of this list.
The only actor I'd vote for President.
What about Al Franken?
What about him.....?
Kane Alson He's got just as much credibility as Murray, even more, and he's one of the more respectable senators. I'd vote for him.
Al Franken is a whack job and in no way is comparable to Bill Murray.
HauteBlackChic I agree. Bill Murrie. How Rza amd Gza say it. Haha, "You ah bug Bill Murrie?" Anyways, Al Frank is way too liberal and isn't warm hearted like Bill Murray. Al would scare me as President, but would be great to see in a film.
Groundhog Day is not only Murray's best performance but also quite possibly the best Romantic Comedy ever! :-D
The Man Who Knew Too Little....Classic Bill Murray, and perhaps some of the best writing of it's time.
Thank you so much for having The Life Aquatic on this list. Great Movie and Great Performance
"What About Bob?" should've been on here. Otherwise, good list.
"The Man Who Knew Too Little" is one of the best comedic films ever too.
DITTO!
WHAT ABOUT BOB. IS THE BEST
200% what about Bob
What about Bob was his best movie ever
How could you forget, WHAT ABOUT BOB??
i was wondering that too. That's my favorite Bill Murray movie :)
***** AMEN!!! Most under-rated comedy ever!!! Bob on Good Morning America: "It's not just this book. It's this man. It's the wisdom, it's the compassion, it's the... HORSE-SENSE of the guy that gets you!"
What about Bob is the best movie ever produced. I can watch it many times and enjoy it every single time
I feel good, I feel great, I feel wonderful. I feel good, I feel great, I feel wonderful
His cameo in Little Shop of Horrors was also one of his best.
Ikr
And in " Zombieland " !
Great list! Bill Murray is one of my favorite actors. Hope to run into him someday, so I have a marvelous Bill story like his many other fans.
I loved him in "What about Bob."
me too! :)
Nik School I SAIL! I SAIL!
What about bob is my favorite Bill Murray movie
Bill Murray as Hunter S. Thompson in Where the Buffalo Roam should at least be in the top five.
What about Bob? How is this not anywhere on the list?
I just saw What About Bob? for the first time in 25 years when it was released, and the humor still holds up. Quick Change is a very underrated film. St. Vincent is very good. I met Bill at the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Awards. I shook his hand (would rather than hugged and kissed him) and blurted out, "Congratulations! I love you." It was a thrilling moment!
I liked him in Space Jam even though it was a small role
Larry's not white. Larry's clear.
Hold on there i don't play defence
His role in the remake of "The Razors Edge" ranks up there with my favorites. Even when he plays a serious role his funny side shows itself.
thanks for this list. I always felt he deserved his own list.
WHAT ABOUT BOB!?!?!?!
"I don't get that close to the glass till I'm on the floor."
+Aj Dembroski "What About Bob" is far better than about half the ones that made this list. The fact that they forgot that movie is ridiculous
Lost in Translation! I just watched that. Yeah, good stuff.
Three words: What About Bob?
"The Man Who Knew Too Little" was his best role in my opinion. Didn't even make this list.
SOOOOO RIGHT that was an amazing funny funny movie.... yep really overlooked
Omg! I watched this movie like 15y ago and never knew the name, specially because I watched in Portuguese, so the title was another. Thanks
@@anandadaquino3604 Ananda, I just watched it again a few weeks ago and, I was still laughing the entire film. I think he was brilliant in it and, the writing was great. Of course, I have never seen it in Portuguese but, I think I would still laugh.
TMWKTL really is one of his best in my opinion. Surprised it didn’t make the list.
I love Lost in Translation. one of my favorites. have to watch it like every other month
same, definitely his best performance
What about Bob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gail Dragstra Bilyard I SAIL! I SAIL!
Gail Dragstra Bilyard No Shit!!! "As long as I'm in my apartment, I'm ok. But when I wanna go out, I get... WWWWEIRD"
+Gail Artsgard what about him?
Lost In Translation is by far #1
Could not agree more, absolute masterpiece I think
+Moviemaster21 Thank you, your comment woke me up to the fact that I need to rewatch Lost in Translation ;)
usmh Watched it everyday one time, during a short period :)
+Moviemaster21 GOd that movie sucked
Marisa Jo Merliss Well usually you express yourself, you give your opinion, you can't judge it unless you're fucking Kubrick
I loved Lost in Translation.
Great list! He's my favorite.
Funny thing is, his role in "Caddyshack" was supposed to be played by a Vietnam war vet, but the war vet suffered from such bad PTSD that he couldn't remember his lines, so Harold Ramis got Bill in to play Carl Spackler instead. Bill got his part filmed within six days, and with the exception of one line spoken to Danny Noonan, every line of his was ad-libbed.
Holly Brooke which line? Not being anal or tying to put you off... I think comedians or actors who play comedic roles almost exclusively are truly tallented geniuses, I'd go so far as to say a "Sage" of modern Life. To see humor in all facets of life is to be a forward thinker.
Here's my list. Not in order of my favorite movies, just his best performances.
1. Groundhog Day
2. Lost in Translation
3. Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
4. Broken Flowers
5. Rushmore
6. Meatballs
7. Caddyshack
8. Stripes
9. Ghostbusters
10. Kingpin
Yes. I kind of agree with this.Especially Ghostbusters. It's not like one of the best movies of all time oranything. Groundhog Day and Lost in Translation and Rushmore are miles better in my opinion. The performance in Life Aq, is also better although I didn't love the mvoie. Haven't seen Broken Flowers. Plan on it.
awesome420ication
There's no humor in 'Broken Flowers'.
um... yeah, i really gotta vent on this one. i know that Dr. Venkman is far and away the most *iconic,* but his role in *_Lost in Translation...._* it's almost peerless in modern film. that moment when he's handed his jacket by Johanson, and he glumly re-assumes his old life, returning his gaze to the fawning staff at the hotel is one of the saddest, most REAL acting moments i've seen. he really, REALLY deserved that fucking oscar tm
absolutely perfect list.
Bill Murray is simply the best. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The list is incomplete without "What About Bob?"
that is true
Joe Ace I SAIL! I SAIL!
I'll almost guarantee you the joke about Neil Diamond was improvized.
What About Bob? is one of his most interesting roles. He's not being a smartass, he's playing a big-eyed idiot with so much energy. ANYONE else in the role would have been annoying, but he and Richard Dreyfuss have perfect comedic chemistry.
Incredible oversight. Bob Wiley = the GOAT.
I simply can't believe no one has mentioned "The Razor's Edge".
Good movie highly underrated!
Which was his first dramatic role, but this channel is not renowned for its thorough research.
He only agreed to do "Ghostbusters" after the studio said they'd fund Razor's Edge.
I still can't believe how little attention The Razor's Edge got. Bill Murray did a fantastic job, and is absolutely, bar none, his most under appreciated.
One of my favorite movies, much less Bill Murray movies, of all time.
GREAT TOP 10 BILL MURRAY PERFORMANCES !!!
Let's be real his 2 best performances are in Rushmore and Lost In Translation
"What about Bob" was his best movie and his best role. This makes it my #1 movie of all time
What about Bob is my favorite with bill :)
Nice job with this. People can argue the order and the films (What About Bob?) but this showed the breadth of his work. One of the great actors of his generation. He connects with everyone.
And he's done it with no agent. How freaking cool is that?
Thank you SO much for putting Ghostbusters at #1. :D
Where the Buffalo Roam?!
That movie, dare I say, is almost a better Hunter S. Thompson film than Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...
In many ways, it IS a better movie than Johnny Depp's enactment of Gonzo in FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. For one, we get to see Bill Murray exercise his comedic chops before Caddyshack & Stripes hit theaters. We get to see Bill semi-channel Dr. Hunter S. Thompson by being himself (Bill can't help being Bill) while always having a drink in his hand, by discharging a fire extinguisher aboard a filled airplane (thank Janus it was still waiting to taxi) & by threatening a ringing telephone with a loaded revolver. Also, we get to see a very emotional Rene Auberjonois on LSD. And we get to experience Peter Boyle at his craziest as he assaults a prosecutor in court, hides out from the government & smuggles weapons south of the border. WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM is my favorite Bill Murray vehicle for these & a few other very good reasons. Who DOESN'T love Bill Murray when he's being ridiculously antisocial?!
"Forced to scramble!"
Yeah... what about "What about Bob"..
GREAT list - I Love Bill Murray to death - he's such a gem....
I'm so glad this video exists.
No Bob Wiley in What About Bob? That in my opinion was his best role!
Me too. I loved him in that movie
There's too many to list. Little Shop Of Horrors?
I was waiting for that to be on the list.
+Wawagirl17 same
I know right, his scene in that movie was the best thing about it
You're right. These are all good, but I can think of at least half a dozen more off the top of my head. Quick Change & The Man Who Knew Too Little are usually overlooked.
irish1209 yeah and it was the best because i saw my to favourite actors together :Steve Martin and Bill Murray
Ghost Buster and Stripes are my faves going to have to look up the rest and hope I can find in the library
One of the best actors of all time ,And also loved all his movies an they helped me tune in to a large perception . IT'S HARD for some to try an understand changes with deep thought, understanding of such things on topics .....
Here's some deep thought,but I truly thought his best ACTING performance was in...Brace yourself,"Meatballs".
ground hog day, Stripes, then Caddyshack, ghostbusters # 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 hands down
THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE --- had me in tears laughing!
I love him in Ghostbusters. It's the only movie that I can quote forwards and backwards. Definitely one of, if not the best of, all his performances.
Bill Murray as Hercules on SNL. Impossible to find a clip and so outrageously hilarious!!!!!!
Quick Change with Randy Quaid and Geana Davis is terrific.
This is a forgotten classic!
I liked him in "What About Bob?", though I guess I can understand why that performance didn't make the list.
That's what I thought: "No "What About Bob"?? I thought it would be #1.
Brian Glenn Nolf You're joking...right?
Karen Fahel shut up, i thought it would be #1 too. What about Bob is my favorite with Bill Murray
Lost In Translation put him back on the map. Ever since he's been getting more and more recognition.
Groundhog Day... LOVE it!
The man who knew too little is probably is most underrated movie of all time!
I noticed that you didn't add his cameo appearance in the 1986 musical movie, Little Shop of Horrors. That was a great performance by Bill Murray in that one, even if it was only brief.
Probably one of the most underrated funny movies I've seen. So good.
They nailed it with the top 3 - Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day & Caddyshack
What about Bob? is one of my all time favorites.
he also had an amazing moment in Monuments Men.
I'm gonna say it...I was skeptical at first, but I loved Murray in "The Razor's Edge".
Yeah, you forgot "Lil Shop o' Horrors", he's only 1 min. on a screen w Steve Martin, but it will over weigh many actors' entire career. I watched that scene hundreds times, but every time I laugh hysterically,,,
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely hysterical.
What about Bob, The Man Who Knew Too Little, two of my favorites actually.
No one mentioned Ed Wood? Well okay...
came to say ed wood
Bill Murray is really funny in Caddyshack. Why can't he catch that dang gopher!!!!
when I was in college I had What About Bob on repeat in my VCR it would play the whole movie through and then rewind and start playing again everyday that movie was playing in my room whether I was in class or Not What About Bob is top of the charts comedy
top 10 steve busemi
He's an awesome actor but arent most Steve Busemi charecters creepy bad guys?
simone robson Well, let's see,
He's Donny in the The Big Lebowski
David in The Wedding Singer
Clint Fitzer in "I Now Pronounce you Chuck & Larry"
Crazy Eyes in Mr. Deeds
the homeless guy in Big Daddy
Carl in Fargo
Randy in Monsters Inc.
Danny McGrath in Billy Madison
Norther Winslow in Big Fish
probably tons of others that I didn't mention. and some of the ones I mentioned above were cameos.
and mr. pink and the fucking mr. pink?
Jay Nicks I love him in the movie about the movie being made, Living in Oblivion, it was a flop but is so good. And no simone robson Buscemi has great roles as a passive character(kinda) most of the time, crazy still but quite laid back. Also his best friend is Tarrantino so that is how he got many of his early roles to be honest. As the bellhop in Barton Fink I always confuse it with Four Rooms too and see him in the role every time because that role was actually written for Buscemi and with only him in mind(little known fact and wonder why he didn't do it?) . Also watch the movie Ghost World(2001), he does a great performance in that and it is very human and touching though the age thing in it is weird/creepy for some but is innocent and accidental. I think he is the most underrated actor in Hollywood and is one of my all time favourites, his performances are just so exciting and riveting.
What about bob
I'm sailing
Its amazing
#1 for me is Lost In Translation, one of the best acting performances i've ever seen.
As a lifetime Bill Murray fan I just CANNOT believe that you missed out one of his greatest films 'What about Bob'. This really makes me question how realistic these lists are. Great idea but you need to do a bit more research.....
What about 'Quick Change' too.... trouble is he's done so many amazing moving pictures.
'What about Bob' is one his most hilarious roles, why is not on the list?
Spot on!
I typed out a whole lot of "You missed Tripper, or Bob, or whatever...", but this should have been a top 20 list!
Tootsie!
"It is about the work, right? I mean, it's not just so you can dress up in these little outfits?"
TOOTSIE?!!!!? You said strongest supporting role since Tootsie, so where was Tootsie?!
Bill Murray....put any of his roles in that top 10 . ... the man is not only a comic genius, but he's an enthralling actor. One of the great talents of his generation.
I love Groundhog day! It's so Good. A classic.😁😃
I think the people have spoken! What About Bob should have been on this list!!
what about, what about Bob!$?
YES! What about Bob is great. It bafflese how that didn't make it.
do you if bill murray is dead or alive?
Broken Flowers being the last on the list??????? Wooow that's an audacious choice! :D
His role in St. Vincent was cool too, typical chill Bill Murray
Are you kidding me? No Razors Edge? That was easily his best dramatic performance of all time and kicks the butt of Broken Flowers.
Nope. #1 is GroundHog Day.
#1 should be ghostbusters 1 and 2 XD, in my opinion.
Boba Fett nah ghostbusters is a classic
Yes, but what about Bob?
Chance of agreement 100 percent.
Holy Cow, you left out... "WHAT ABOUT BOB!! Pure genius!
I kinda don't know what you guys were thinking leaving out The Razor's Edge, Where The Buffalo Roam, Hyde Park on Hudson, What About Bob?, Mad Dog and Glory, Limits of Control, The Man Who Knew Too Little, Cradle Will Rock, Passion Play, City of Ember, gads.."I'll be out back. I'm going to find a tree to chop down."- Bill Murray, "Moonrise Kingdom".
Look out Bill....ssttaalllker
Lost in Translation
I think we all knew before watching what would be number one...
Actually, I thought it would have been "Groundhog Day", from the way critics talk. Glad I was wrong.
Karen Fahel just started vid. Woulda gave it to groundhog day too
His talent is still with him!
Moonrise Kingdom, The Budapest Hotel, St. Vincent.
Lost in Translation is a masterpiece. Coppola is a subtle sorceress with a keen eagle eye. Life Aquatic is equally impressive where then story itself becomes a dynamic and gravitational character.
