Groundhog Day is Bill Murray's best. Then Caddyshack. After that, I'm not real sure.

You probably would.

But it is Bill Murray's best role, followed by Groundhog's Day.

I am fully aware of Bill Murray's divinity, which is why his decision to do the Garfield movies confounds me so. Where is the appeal? He does so many good movies...maybe in order to keep balance to the universe he must accept these roles...

Dayum. I totally forgot about those two. Makes me wonder if I'm forgetting anything else.

The Life Aquatic was great. I'm not a big fan of Lost in Translation, personally.

Scrooged was a good one too.

He was good in Coffee and Cigarettes too. Lost in Translation is my favourite though.

This negatively affected my tone in ways that I just can't describe.
Then, on a whim, a few years ago I wandered into a Bath and Body Works store at a local mall and picked up some of their gentle foaming anti-bacterial hand cleansers.
The difference in my guitar's sound is so wickedly improved that I no longer feel the need to buy a new amp or pedals or even strings...EVER!
So, it's my belief that tone is in the soap.
Thank you and goodnight.

That's one that I didn't like, though I tend to dislike most movies with animals playing some sort of character.

The Royal Tennenbaums and Rushmore were both great, but they are Wes Anderson films, and, in my opinion, both better than the very good The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I really enjoyed The Man Who Knew Too Little. And I am rather disappointed that nobody has mentioned What About Bob? Not to Mention Stripes.

Was Bill Murray in Broken Flowers? I really liked that one, and Scrooged. The guy's got more good films under his belt than I can remember off the top of my head apparently. He's quite likable.

Exactly. He's a funny guy who can't break out of the same role. He's become a boring cardboard figure.

I would say that running around in a speedo firing at pirates who are about to leave behind a three-legged dog which later gets the padunky beaten out of it by an egotistical mad scientist during casual conversation is a pretty large break from, say, running around shouting about how death therapy worked for him, and Doctor Leo Marvin is the greatest man alive.
