Let's discuss a true original...a one of a kind performer.

What's your favorite Bill Murray movie/ performance?

CKMorpheus

I think Life Aquatic was definitely his best... A very underrated film too. Really brought it home though, emotionally, and it was hilarious to boot.

Greg MacGuffin

Gotta go with Groundhog Day. I think he was at his Bill Murray-ist in that.

Despite his occasional, effective effort in a more dramatic role, Murray has been and continues to be an overwhelmingly comedic actor. He was most on top of his craft, IMHO, in Ghostbusters.

Boba Fett

"What About Bob?"

An amazing comedic performance.

Favorite?

My immediate reaction is to go with Stripes for favorite. It's obviously not the best movie, but it's my favorite Bill Murray.

"Lee Harvey....you are a madman..."

Bill is great in every single one of the movies listed above. It wasn't really a tough choice because Rushmore is one of my absolute favorites but there is not a performance to scoff at on that list.

Troy Stiffler

The man was diabolical in Kingpin. But I refuse to vote in this poll.

hard choice but i'm going with Rushmore.

Choosing a single favorite was almost impossible, but in the end I had to go with Groundhog Day.

I was always partial to his role in Cradle Will Rock, though it's not my favorite Bill Murray movie. I just thought he was really good in that movie.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Groundhog Day

I have never been a huge fan of Bill Murray's comedy. But I did find that I really like him in dramatic roles like in Last in Translation and Broken Flowers. I also like him in supporting comedic roles in films like The Royal Tennebauns. I think what I liked about him in that was the humor was more low key.

Count Dooku

I think Groundhog Day showcases the quintessential Bill Murray performance, but I wouldn't say it is my favorite, or that it is his best film.

I adore Bill Murray, so I could have easily voted for any film on this list. However, his turn as Big Ernie McCracken in Kingpin is easily one of my favourites, so I had to go with that.

EdTheRipper

I like just about everything he's done but I've always had a soft spot for Quick Change.

Man, this one is tough - because for me it's a four way tie when it comes to my favorite performance from Bill Murray (Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, and Groundhog Day).

When it comes to my favorite Bill Murray movie? I'm leaning towards Groundhog Day, but I really like Stripes and Ghostbusters, too. (I don't see Ed Wood as a Bill Murray movie since he just has a small supporting role...)

Sean O'Hara

Those are dramatic roles?

StephenX

Ghostbusters is THE Murray film. Stripes, though, is one of my all-time favorites as well.

Toughest poll ever.

Went with The Life Aquatic.

Bill IS an original in every sense of the word. Did anyone read the EW article on him? He has no agent or publicist. In order to get him to read a script, you have to leave a message on his answering machine and hope for the best. He's a very weird guy and as a director, I'd be scared to death about hiring him for a movie. But I do love his work.
I went with Groundhog Day, mostly because I see it as the bridge between his early zany stuff and his more serious acting of the past 10-15 years.

Charlie Goose

I'll go with Groundhog Day as his best performance.

Falc04

As "Big Ern" Mccracken, in Kingpin...

That'sAllFolks

he's best when he's a sarcastic ass.

Recruiter: "Have you ever been convicted of a felony"
Bill: "Convicted? ... no ... never convicted"

Groundhog Day a close second, though not near as funny.
