Bill Murray has been cracking me the hell up for my whole life. I just saw Zombieland, where he makes an odd appearance that I shall not spoil for everyone, but its just the weird kind of stuff that I've always enjoyed from him.

O.K. I'm only going four stars here. I enjoyed the Tod and Lisa skits with Gilda and the lounge singer was pretty good but that's about it. His later work just keeps getting better though. Caddy Shack, Groundhog Day, The Life Aquatic, What About Bob, Rushmore, and many others.

He's okay, I'm not in love with him though like other people, and he's somewhat overrated, not as much as Will Ferrell though, but he's pretty up there.

Although Bill Murray is a genious in later movie work like Groundhog Day and What about Bob? He was comparetively sub-par in comparison to other greats

He was never my favorite.

A man with the talent to make the transition to making good movies. How unlike Will Farrell.

i dont know i just felt like raising the rating

brilliant on and off the snl set. he has a way of making you think he is sharing a private joke between the two of you

I liked Belushi and Dan A. better on SNL, but Bill Murray's movie career has certainly been more interesting (and better!) That said, his lounge singer skit was classic, and his bit with Gilda Radner (when they played those dorky kids--can't remember their names) was great too.

Funniest of the 1970s cast.

simply amazing...

He gets a 4 for SNL. the rest of his stuff is hot and cold.

Even if he did nothing else worth noting, the Star Wars song alone from SNL earns him five stars. Stripes was a damn good movie.

over rated

what about bill?! don't kill this bill!

Brilliant.

I loved his nightclub singer routine the best. Who can forget him singing "The Love Boat" and the "Theme to Star Wars"? Absolutely hilarious!

Bill Murray is by far the best SNL performer ever (among those who are still alive, anyway). He can convey with his eyebrows what a lesser comedian would need his entire body to say. I don't think he's ever delivered a bad performance, even though he's been in some bad movies.

Never loved Murray on SNL - his movies made more sense - Meatballs, Ghostbusters, Stripes - all classics!

Hilarious

Naturally funny. His SNL work was short lived but excellent nevertheless. He's had alot of film sucess since then, and is probably the most successful of all SNL players in film roles. The only one who might beat him for film success is Eddie Murphy.

he's one of my favorites! i absolutely love him. all of his movies were awesome. and i love the show "the sweet spot" on comedy central. its great. i love bill, if i wasnt 14-years-old i'd ask him to marry me

Best lounge singer ever,maybe the best actor of the whole lot.

Every year he got funnier and funnier. He's brilliant.

Bill Murray was right at home at SNL. He was truly one of the funniest of the earlier episodes. SNL also opened the door for his movie career (which has been somewhat disappointing), but nonetheless, this man is a comedic genious.

comic genius, sometimes veers into silly bathroom humor, but almost always brilliant

This man does not make me laugh.

genius

His work as "Todd" with Gilda was priceless and the lounge lizard never gets old to me.

Not an original NRFPTP, but easily one of the best. He was fearless, he was boundless. One of the top three ever on SNL (with Belushi & Crystal).

Bill Murray just didn't amuse me when he was on SNL. His characters were really annoying and unfunny. He just couldn't take on his roles as well as the others could.

Bill Murray, one of the originators of SNL, and Mr. Funny Guy, gets my 5. SNL also sparked his movie career- Ghostbusters I & II, Groundhog Day, Rushmore. He's also one of the funniest guys on SNL ever.

Bill Murray is hilarious, I love all his movies as well as his SNL skits. He is definitely one of the best, funniest people to come out of SNL. I love his hair in Kingpin.

Bill Murray is funny! He is one of the funniest people ever! His comedy is all about his intelligent remarks, editorials and eccentric reactions. You can tell he is intelligent and that has a lot to do with humor.

Murray was the most charismatic of the early cast members. I don't see why Todd couldn't better than Lisa Lubner.

Next to Belushi, the funniest and most talented SNL cast member of all time. A lounge singer, a short-order cook, a game show host - his expressions alone make me laugh.

Funny, but a bit overrated.
