I voted Ghostbusters but Caddyshack, Stripes, Kingpin, Groundhog Day and What About Bob? are all solid choices as well...tough to pick. Ghostbusters edged out Caddyshack since I didn't discover Caddyshack until I was in my teens but Ghostbusters has been a fave since I was 5.

Ghostbusters, with Quick Change, Rushmore, and Caddyshack close behind. Scrooged is great, and his turn in Kingpin is one of the film's highlights. What about his masochistic dental patient in Little Shop of Horrors? Still one of my favorite cameos in a movie.

Looks like Ghostbusters is going to run away with it. I went with Stripes over it for the simple fact that GB is an ensemble, while Stripes was a Bill Murray vehicle.

It's too hard for me to pick one. Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, Stripes, Quick Change, and What About Bob? are all classic Bill Murray comedies.
And then you have his more recent (and equally funny/brilliant) work with Wes Anderson in Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, and one of my personal favourites...Broken Flowers.

Man, some strong choices there. I almost said Groundhog Day, and I do list it as my favorite comedy when somebody might randomly ask me what it is. But I don't know...when I saw Rushmore on the list, I had to pick that. Obviously you can't compare the two...they are completely different movies, even if they are both comedies. But something about his performance in Rushmore...I think it was brilliantly outstanding. He was awesome in Groundhog Day, absolutely, but the way he played it in Rushmore put it over the edge in this poll.
And, while not a comedy, a hat has to be tipped to his performance in Cradle Will Rock. It made a great movie awesome.
