A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Up with the sun

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.)

*stubbornly stays in thread anyhow*

I have a plan.

Your top five favorite Bill Murray performances.

In no particular order. Because you can't order these things around.

1: Stripes

B: LiT

Green: Groundhog Day

Plaid: Ghostbusters

Dog: Hard to choose between Meatballs and Caddyshack

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

1: Strips

I like this typo, but I'm picturing a cross between Stripes and Showgirls, and it's kind of giving me brain trauma.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Watched Wild Things last night, and it was surprisingly enjoyable, but Bill Murray=not a very believable trial attorney. Made a great ambulance-chaser, though.

Would one elevate the other, or destroy it?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Images of Sgt. Hulka and John Candy recreating the pool scene from Showgirls dancing in his head now

Ugh.

Although Gina Gershon in the mud wrestling scene would be OK.

smacks forehead I completely forgot about that one - another primo supporting role; on par with Ed Wood. The film was so blatantly OTT that I didn't even try to believe anything, just enjoy the ride.

bon bon, did you watch all the way through the end credits? I thought that was a stroke of genius.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You know, telling Alibelle she'll get it when she's older is about as respectful as "Oh, you'll get fat when you're thirty, though." (to which I should have replied "Like you? Will I also get bitter and vindictive? Yay!" But I didn't. Still, being in good shape works fine as revenge so far.)

Well, I wasn't respectful to Allibelle, but I wasn't that serious in my assertion that she'll benefit from added bitterness.

Other people have cooler Bill Murray lists, in part because I neglected all of his spectacular supporting roles in Ed Wood, Tootsie ("You slut!"), Little Shop of Horrors, Wild Things etc.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Steals her pink ipod while she is distracted by the hug.

*crying* So mean. Way to kick me when I'm down.

Well, I wasn't respectful to Allibelle, but I wasn't that serious in my assertion that she'll benefit from added bitterness.

Lee has now made me bitter, and I still don't care for Groundhog Day.

So, today's lesson is: Bitterness is not all it's cracked up to be.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

bon bon, did you watch all the way through the end credits? I thought that was a stroke of genius.

Heh. I was surprised by how good a movie that actually turned out to be. It was marketed like the entire movie was a Matt Dillon-Denise Richards-Neve Campbell threesome scene, but it was pretty entertaining mystery. Although I never did fully understand it, even having watched through the end credits. All the plot twists left me terribly confused.

So very true. Bliss, however, is by definition extremely blissful.
