Quick Change (1990)

Quick Change (1990)

[5] Bill Murray stars in and co-directs (with screenwriter Howard Franklin) this comedy of errors about a trio of bank robbers who successfully pull off a heist, only to find themselves utterly jinxed in their escape from New York City.…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)

[6] McKenna Grace stars as twelve-year-old Phoebe, the granddaughter of a recently-deceased hermit she discovers has a connection to the original film's Ghostbusters, who have long since disbanded. When her mother inherits the grandfather's decrepit farmhouse, Phoebe learns he wasn't…
Meatballs (1979)

Meatballs (1979)

[5] This dopey but harmless summer camp movie helped lead the charge of '80s teen comedies that would follow in its wake. It's tame by comparison, but noteworthy for being the first pairing of director Ivan Reitman and actor Bill…
The Dead Don’t Die (2019)

The Dead Don’t Die (2019)

[2] The days become unnaturally long in the town of Centerville, where two cops played by Adam Driver and Bill Murray drive around protecting the community. But when zombies begin roaming the streets, they find themselves in over their heads…
Zombieland (2009)

Zombieland (2009)

[7] A zombie apocalypse road trip movie with amusement park overtones? Oh, hell yeah. With its strong character humor and plenty of sight gags, Zombieland is a joyously exploitative horror comedy that deflects any serious criticism. Jesse Eisenberg and Woody…

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

[7] I love movies. But unlike most other people who love movies, I don't love Wes Anderson movies. To me they're a case of too much style over too little substance. I never care about the story or the characters,…
Scrooged (1988)

Scrooged (1988)

[5] I thought I'd get a lot more from a dark comedy directed by Richard Donner (Superman, Lethal Weapon) and starring Bill Murray, but Scrooged is neither dark nor funny enough to leave much of a lasting impression. Murray plays…
Ed Wood (1994)

Ed Wood (1994)

[10] I doubt Tim Burton will ever make a finer film. Armed with a powerhouse screenplay by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (The People vs Larry Flynt), Burton turns the biography of Hollywood's most infamously bad director into a poignant…
Ghostbusters (1984)

Ghostbusters (1984)

[9] When New York City becomes increasingly afflicted with ghost-sightings and demonic possessions, it's up to a rag-tag team of self-proclaimed 'Ghostbusters' to save the world from the imminent arrival of a destructive, ancient god. Ghostbusters succeeds as both a…
