Cable Guy (really...) Not oscar worthy or anything...just pretty solid comedy

I love this movie... I don't know why so many people hate it. Also agree that The Insider is a very underrated movie.

So little screen time, but his whole persona is so memorable.

Also:

Watching in SciFi now, but the female cop telling Mel Gibson about his wife's grave situation in Signs is masterful acting.

I think you are utterly confused on the premise of this thread.

Then kindly cite all the notable references to Murray's performance in "Groundhog Day" other than my own.

I always thought Jason Isaacs stole the show in the Patriot. One of my all-time favorite villains.

Well since we got 80s mania going on I'll go with Ed Harris in A Flash of Green.

Nobody every talks about the movie much less his performance. Richard Jordan was really awesome in it as well.

Nic Cage in Kick-arse

Thought he was crazy enough to be perfect for that role.

Jason Isaacs

One of my favorite actors. Always seem to steal the spotlight in any scene he's in.

I'm really pumped up for the new television series that he'll be starring in where he can't tell which one of his lives that he is living is real or a dream.
