Probably still Bill's best-known and most-loved role is Peter Venkman. A blockbusting adventure has never had another hero quite like Murray in this movie: droll, sarcastic, fairly unheroic...
With nary a silly voice or facial contortion in sight, Murray'll keep you in stitches throughout. His perfectly-tuned chemistry with the rest of the cast (the other 'busters, Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis) has helped this remain as popular as ever, over 25 years later.

Kingpin, worst?? Are you mental?? It's a great film full of laughs and great performances! Way better than that 'Im so smart it hurts' Wes Anderson garbage! This list needs revised asap!

I agree Kingpin is a hilarious film-probably the Farelly Brothers best and Bill's f*****g ace in it. Its way better than Rushmore-a film that only film critics actually like and everyone else finds coma induceingly boring

Also "Wild things" may be tasteless and trashy but pretty much the whole point. It plays with noirish genre expectations and puts a 90s spin on them in a way which is pure entertainment . And again Bill's f*****g ace in it

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is a terrible film, it stuck with it for 20 minutes in the hope that it was going to get better, it didn't.

What About Bob is quite possibly one of the greatest comedies ever made, the fact that it's not even included renders this whole list meaningless. P.S. @earlotterby, You are a j*****s with no taste.

I wish just sometimes the TF writers would acknowledge us meer onliners on these comment pages but they never do... I would like whoever wrote this to explain Kingpin... that is a funny movie no doubt about it.... there's gonna be a showdown! Murray's celebrating at the end is brilliant!

Having Kingpin in 'worst' is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen on this site. Did Wes Anderson write this?
