The title of this article should let you know that you won’t find any Ghostbusters references here. As good as those movies are, Murray’s artistic output in the last two decades is of a vastly different sort. His dry humor is still on display, but so is a weary romantic side that we hadn’t seen before, and that still gets us every time.The Film: Groundhog Day (1991)The Role: Phil Connors, a cynical TV weatherman who is forced to repeat Groundhog Day indefinitelyWhat We Love: Murray perfectly captures the series of emotions and actions that would arise in such a situation: opportunistic philandering, a sense of encroaching dread, reckless attempts to escape, and finally the glimpse of a chance at redemption. Plus, Murray’s wooing of producer Rita (Andie MacDowell) is both hilarious and heart-warming.The Film: Hamlet (2000)The Role: Polonius, chief counselor to King ClaudiusWhat We Love: Polonius is generally considered the epitome of the old man who’s passed his glory daysHamlet refers to him as a “tedious old fool” in Act II. However, by starring in this updated adaptation (which sets the story of Hamlet in contemporary New York City), Murray was able to adapt his years of experience into a new phase of his careerwhile still providing an entertaining performance that hit all the right marks.The Film: Lost in Translation (2003)The Role: Bob Harris, an aging actor filming a commercial in TokyoWhat We Love: Director Sofia Coppola wrote the film with Murray in mind, and after seeing the finished product, it’s easy to see why. Even when you want to scream at him for the mistakes he’s made in his life, you can’t help but empathize with him. He’s also probably the only actor who could have pulled off the role without anyone wondering why he and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) do not consummate their relationshipit’s clear that Harris and Murray are both looking for something deeper.The Film: Broken Flowers (2005)The Role: Don Johnston, a former Don JuanWhat We Love: Director Jim Jarmusch is a perfect fit for Murray’s brand of egotism and ennui, and their partnership here is pitch-perfect. Johnston seeks out his former lovers in order to find the son he never knew he had. Along the way, he discovers how time has changed the women he once lovedand realizes how he’s changed as well.The Film: Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)The Role: Clive Badger, Mr. Fox’s lawyerWhat We Love: Fantastic Mr. Fox is Murray’s only truly great animated film, but it’s enough to make you forget about those two Garfield filmswell, almost. Badger doesn’t have many lines, but Murray makes every one count, trying to keep things under control at the same time as Mr. Fox pushes them into chaos. This is Murray’s 4th collaboration with director Wes Anderson, but it is truly deserving of being the one included on this list.
