This seems a fair comparison. I want to see how the boards irrational acclaim for Cage holds up

Theyve both made close to 80 movies. Murray has had his share of "rent is due" parts. He just exercised a bit of restraint

Give me youre top 10 roles for each. Side by side

Sorry in advance for you Cage acolytes. Im assuming he has 10 movies you actually like

Id post the IMBD for both but im not putting up 160 movies

I think it's hilarious they filmed Groundhog Day in reverse because they knew Bill was going to be frustrated/assholish by the end of of filming.

And it isn't even close.

Cage is pretty laughable. I wasn't aware people were fans of him

I think Murray is overrated. Hipsters seem to love him though.

This is sort of like those "could Alabama beat an NFL team?" debates on the More Sports Board. No, they couldn't. And Nic Cage can't compete with Bill Murray. He's on a different level.

I love some Cage movies like Lord of War, The Weatherman, Con Air, etc. So I would go with Cage.

While I agree it is a reasonable comparison, for me it's Bill Murray by a significant margin.

Murray is a living legend. Cage is not even close. And I like Nick Cage.

I've fought a bunch of people, but Manny Pacquaio's list is more quality.

It's hard to choose. Both men's resumes are among top 10 in the last 35 years. I would probably go with Murray because the quality of his films have been more consistent plus it's much more different to make great comedies than great dramatic films. You can't go wrong with either one though.

Well of the movies of theirs that I've seen and like best for both.


Bill Murray


Ghostbusters
The Razor's Edge
Quick Change
What About Bob?
Groundhog Day
Mad Dog and Glory
Kingpin
The Man Who Knew Too Little



Nic Cage


Rumble Fish
The Cotton Club
Raising Arizona
Honeymoon in Vegas
Red Rock West
Leaving Las Vegas
The Rock
Face/Off
Snake Eyes
8MM
Bringing Out the Dead
Lord of War
Kick-arse




Not really a big fan of late period Bill Murray but his 20th century output is strong enough to I think warrant a tie.
