Groundhog Day (1993)

As a weather man living the same day over and over, Bill Murray deftly portrays the five stages of grief, balancing the comedy and existentialism in every scene — sometimes with a single look. It’s that look — the Murray look — that makes him so compelling.

Caddyshack (1980)

Four knockout comedic performances by Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight and Bill Murray carry a Marx brothers-style farce set at a snobby golf country club. Chase and Murray improvised most of their dialogue, including their only scene together — ever.
