He is one of the most iconic actors in Hollywood. Award Winner Bill Murray who recently celebrated his 72nd birthday, from his first appearance on the satirical show Saturday Night Live, for which he won an Emmy Award, to films that left an era in cinema, such as “Lost in Translation” , “Ghostbusters”, “Rookie”, etc. ..a.
Below is a list of films in which he stood out for his acting.
Some of Murray’s best performances are in films where he has a smaller role and it’s because of his ability to show his acting range by doing so little. The actor has some pretty funny moments as Jeff, Dustin Hoffman’s roommate.
Very often it is characterized as a “love letter” to Jacques Cousteau. In the Wes Anderson film, Murray once again stands out for his unrivaled talent. Indeed, the actor gives a sensational performance. In the final scene, Murray portrays Francis Ford Coppola with baby Sophia on his shoulders in 1979 during the Cannes Film Festival.
Murray’s performance as Don Juan is sensational. Don learns from an anonymous letter that he has a son. He will then start looking for four women with whom he has had relationships in the past to find out the possible mother of his child. But this journey into the past will bring him face to face with the situations he faces in the present.
In his second collaboration with Wes Anderson, Murray plays Raleigh St. Clair, who is forced to watch a strange, doomed romance between his wife Margo (Gwyneth Paltrow) and her adopted brother Richie (Luke Wilson).
Murray “hates” this film. He plays the modern-day Ebenezer Scrooge, the “satanic” television host Frank Cross. And he embodies it very well.
Great acting in this comedy. The actor plays the deranged killer Carl Spuckler, who blows up an entire golf club.
It’s hard to imagine anyone else as Phil Connors, the meteorologist who isn’t sure if he’s “stuck” in comedy or tragedy. Unfortunately, Murray’s behavior on set led him to fall out with director Harold Ramis.
Perhaps the most timeless film in the history of modern cinema. Directed by Sofia Coppola, the story follows a middle-aged actor (Bill Murray) and a young woman who recently graduated from university. The two meet by chance in Japan and this relationship will develop. Murray as an actor suffering from jet lag is irresistible. Unfortunately, he lost the Oscar (to Sean Penn for Mystic River).
Another great role Murray – in the movie “The Rookie”. Other actors would have made Herman Bloom repulsive, but Murray gives the character a different tone, even when he’s bowling with young Max (Jason Schwartzman). The moment Bloom realizes what Max’s father is up to is a masterclass in acting.
Ivan Reitman’s comedy will forever remain the film in which Murray “shines”. Murray’s every line has gone down in history because few actors have done a better job.
