who you gonna call
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for Bill
Murray’s top 10 performances let’s get
this over with
number 10 Don Johnston broken flowers
kicking off our list is one of Murray’s
more recent film successes as a
middle-aged woman Iser whose life is in
neutral he is sent an anonymous letter
informing him he has a 19 year old son
Murray is charming and entrancing in the
role and he brings a new energy to the
tired midlife crisis story
he’s also remarkably restrained which
hasn’t been his go-to move throughout
his career nice place you got here but
is astonishingly successful number 9
Ernie McCracken kingpin like most
successful Bill Murray rules we can’t
imagine anyone else playing the bad guy
in this Farrelly Brothers comedy Murray
puts his skills to good use and gives an
unforgettable performance as the
swaggering hustling Pro Bowler Ernie
McCracken while the humor isn’t exactly
highbrow hi let you fight Murray helps
bring everything to his level of comedic
genius nice hair by the way number 8
John winger stripes just a year after
leaving Saturday Night Live Murray
portrays a lazy guy who joins the army
to get in shape and meet women while the
film was originally envisioned with
Cheech and Chong in the main roles the
pairing of straight man Harold Ramis
with Murray and his one-liners more than
makes up for the missing stoners are
either of you were homosexuals
you mean like flaming or if all recruits
were like John winger we’d enlist in a
heartbeat number seven Francis Xavier
cross Scrooged in this 80s remake of the
classic Dickens Tale Murray takes the
place of the cynical main character
heartless TV exec Frank cross fills the
void in his life with success anger and
vodka
but one Christmas three ghosts helped
him see the light weight we thought you
weren’t afraid of no ghosts argue if you
want but this is the best Christmas
movie of all time hey back off big man
that may work with the chicks but not
with me number six
Steve Zissou The Life Aquatic with Steve
Zissou this is a typical Wes Anderson
film and perhaps an atypical Bill Murray
vehicle as melancholy oceanographer
Steve Zissou Murray leads an ensemble
cast on a revenge mission to find the
shark who ate his friend the movie may
be a mixed bag but Murray’s performance
is universally praised what happened to
me did I lose my talent am I ever gonna
be good again but he’s not the first
actor we choose to see running around
with a gun in a speedo number five
Herman Blum Rushmore this movie marks
the beginning of a new era in Murray’s
career his first film with Anderson
marked his first turn away from the
goofy one-liners of the 80s and early
90s Murray taps into a sad side to
battle Jason Schwartzman character for
the love of miss cross hey okay I’m a
little bit lonely these days it’s one of
Murray’s strongest supporting roles
since Tootsie and it earned him a Golden
Globe nod number four Bob Harris lost in
translation without Bill Murray this
Sofia Coppola
opus would never have existed and
without lost in translation we might
never have realized the full breadth of
Murray’s talent for relaxing times make
it Suntory time
don’t have to have talked at all Loki
restrained and natural Murray plays
against type as a lonely middle-aged
actor with an emotional connection to a
younger woman but you can see glimpses
of his comic nature and that’s where the
true genius comes out number three Carl
Spackler Caddyshack this flick is
definitely not the smartest roll in
Murray’s career but it’s one of the
funniest he steals every scene he’s in I
have to say titan arum possible judoka
which is no mean feat next to comedy
greats like Chevy Chase and Rodney
Dangerfield the film was co-written by
Murray’s brother – so comedy runs in the
family
if only he could catch that damn gopher
number two Phil Conners Groundhog Day
from Gophers to groundhogs in this
philosophical comedy Murray relives the
same day over and over and over as a
bitter TV weatherman this performance
gives us a glimpse of what makes Murray
great Ned Ryerson Bing such a turn fro
with that belly button thing Ned or no
his one-liners and quips are all set
against the backdrop of as a different
demeanor with anyone else as the star
this movie could have been insufferable
but with Murray it’s a classic number 1
Peter Venkman Ghostbusters few movie
action heroes look like Bill Murray dan
Aykroyd Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson
but that’s part of what made this 1984 s
biggest movie another huge part goes to
Pete Venkman half of the film is dry
Bill Murray improv and the rest is a
great mix of action witty and quick
dialogue plus a hell of a lot of
quotable lines what are you supposed to
be some kind of a cosmonaut
now we’re exterminators somebody saw a
cockroach up on 12 that’s gotta be some
cockroach bite your head off there
Murray’s comic genius stands up next to
the effects-heavy storyline and shows
you that you don’t need to look like
Arnold Schwarzenegger to save the day
Bill Murray truly has a ton of great
movie roles so we’re sure we’ve missed
some of your favorites let us know in
