Just got done watching Quickchange, movie where Murray dressed as a clown robs a bank and remembered how great this movie was.

I know he is already considered a great comedy actor, but he might be the best right?

Look at this

Caddyshack
Stripes
Ghostbusters
Kingpin
Groudhog Day
What about Bob?
Scrooged
Rushmore
Royal Tennenbaums
Life Aquatic

Is there another comedy actor who's library of work you would take over of Bill Murray?

One of the best IMO. And we get to see him in a more serious role as FDR.

i think he is pretty recognized for being a comedic genius. he has the cult following, and all that.

not underrated IMO.

The first half of Quickchange is good and then it falls apart......much like The Man Who Knew Too Little. Parts were humerous because it's Bill Murray and he's possibly the funniest guy ever to live. But not enough to make it a good movie overall.

Bill's always had a problem with roles in my opinion. Not sure who's fault it is. And yeah, he's underrated because of it.

Eh, underrated for maybe 25 year olds and under. Considering a number of his great comedies were 80's and early 90's. Overall I think he is very well respected. He does have a nice resume when you look at it like that.

Him and Eddie Murphy are tops in my book.

Agree.

And I'm really looking forward to the bolded. I may be wrong but there hasn't been many biopics of FDR.

Personally I think FDR is a terrible president who started a lot of the nanny state programs we still have today but for some reason I like seeing him in TV and movies.

Will be interesting to see how FDR is portrayed by Bill Murray.

I must watch What about Bob at least once a year to get some real humor. I love this movie.
