I only tried to watch The Princess Bride once on TV, they shortened my favourite scene
Which one did they cut, ita?
Bill Murray manages to break my heart quite often while annoying me with his characters. Lost In Translation remains one of my favorite performances of his, with Ghostbusters coming in a close second.
Eeeee! Roxanne-love!!! My favorite part is when he's walking down the street after meeting up with the two firefighters who are leading Elsie the cow toward the firehouse. He's just ranting in the funniest way imaginable, and it kills me every time. LA Story is also super-fantastic. I wish, oh I wish Picasso At The Lapin Agile would finally make it onto the screen. Is brilliant. You must check it out if you love Mr. Martin.
My favorite bit from Roxanne:
"I have a dream! It's not a big dream! I would like for the people of this town, if something is on fire, to think think that calling the fire department is a *good* idea!" And he picks up the fire extinguisher and puts out the fire in the garbage can.

They shortened the lightning sand scene, when they're underground. Given that a) that's my most romantic movie scene (from dive to him putting his hand on the small of her back after the rescue) and b) I can't help breathing in time to it, it spoiled the experience for me.
Groundhog Day is one of two movies in which I can stand AM. The other is Hudson Hawk.
HUDSON HAWK!!!!
The last time I poked my head in here I mentioned I liked this movie. Parts of it were just...weird, but I liked the heist scenes.

Man, that sucks.
Matt, I liked The Matchmaker, as well. Denis Leary and Janeane Garafalo getting hooked up? Snarktastic. It's not great cinema, but it's pleasant fluff.
Huh. I remembered it as her getting hooked up with the Irish guy that was all mocking toward her at first.

D'oh. You're right. My bad.
Your top five favorite Bill Murray performances.
If you don't have five favorite Bill Murray performances, get the hell out of this thread
1. Groundhog Day
2. Lost in Translation
3. Ed Wood
4. ....
5. ....
(I liked Royal Tenenbaums, but don't especially remember his performance in it. Violently hated Rushmore. Saw Ghostbusters too long ago to have any accurate critical assessment of his performance. Can't think of anything else I've seen him in offhand.)
