1. Ghostbusters

Murray’s most pleasing picture, and Peter Venkman, the ultimate Murray character, will always be this Ivan Reitman comedy, no matter how many Wes Anderson, Jim Jarmusch, and Sofia Coppola films he does. “Back off, man. I’m a scientist”; “The flowers are still standing”; “Yes, it’s true, this man has no dick.” Murray’s lines in this film have become famous since few performers have played the character better.

2. Lost in Translation

Not a film that has withstood the test of time. But Murray is seductive as the jet-lagged and disillusioned Hollywood actor, and he was rightfully outraged when he lost his well-deserved Oscar (to Sean Penn for Mystic River). According to a long-running but never-confirmed allegation, Sofia Coppola modeled Murray’s character on Harrison Ford.

3. Groundhog Day

It’s challenging to picture anybody else as Phil Connors, the weatherman who doesn’t know whether he’s in a comedy or a tragedy. Unfortunately, Murray’s behavior on site led to a feud with director Harold Ramis that lasted practically until Ramis’ death. Murray, like Phil, was fortunate to find forgiveness just in time.
