Murray Moments

Bill Murray.  Since the very beginning of his career he has established his own unique and distinct brand of comedy.  He has also never allowed himself, especially in the latter stages of his career, to be pigeonholed into any movie genre, nor to be cast-typed in his roles.  An amazing feat when one thinks of how well he portrayed the goofy Tripper or Carl Spackler character types.

But the quality and volume of Bill Murray's humor was just to great to be contained in such a small breadth.  Lucky for us viewers the ambitions of Murray, as we benefitted from such great characters as Steve Zissou, Ernie McCracken, Bob Wiley, and of course, Dr. Peter Venkman.  These are a few of my favorite Murray Moments.
