Title: Bill Murray Father's Day Marathon on AMC
Post by: Merusk on June 15, 2009, 05:13:11 PM
AMC is advertising a Murray Marathon on Sunday.  Stripes, GB 1 7 2 and Caddyshack. What more could a father ask for? Woo!

Needs Scroodged, Ground Hog's day, and Lost in Translation.

I most certainly could ask for Groundhog Day.

Groundhog's Day is a classic.

Bill Murray is underappreciated.

I can't believe that I forgot Rushmore.  Groundhog's Day and Rushmore would be perfect.

Scrooged and Groundhog are my favorites, but it's all good.

I'm pretty sure it's "Groundhog Day".

Stripes is one of my favorites.

Needs more Groundhog Day.

Funny fact: Did you guys know that Bill Murray was seriously pretty close to getting the Batman role instead of Keaton back in the day?  :ye_gods: :uhrr: :awesome_for_real: Then Burton became director and canned the idea.

The Life Auquatic with Steve Zissou, Rushmore and Kingpin are my favorites. Bill Murray is the king of understatement but he can flip the switch and go over the top too.  :)

As for the Batman thing... if that's true... yowza.

Needs Ghostbusters.

Needs Ghostbusters.

I believe GB 1 7 2 was supposed to mean "Ghostbusters one and two"

But it's nothing without scrooged, classic movie.

 :oh_i_see: It was the lack of "&" that threw me off that one.

& yeh Scrooged definitely should be there.

Think I'd substitute Razor's Edge, Groundhog Day, What About Bob or Kingpin for the Ghostbusters duo, tried watching GB at least 3 times, it put me to sleep…

Most movies listed are ones AMC doesn't have rights to.. which limits their showings.  I believe they do have Groundhog Day, so it's a missed opportunity to show GB2 instead of that.

I have seen all those, most recently City of Ember. That man is watchable in anything.

I'm surprised, given this crowd, that no one mentioned Where the Buffalo Roam.

That's the one where he plays Hunter S. Thompson right?  I saw a documentary where Hunter said he thought it was brilliant.  I haven't managed to see it yet.

Love Where the Buffalo Roam. Saw that as a teen on WGN without knowing anything about Thompson, then again after I'd read some Thompson in college. Fan-fucking-tastic.

But yeah, not having Groundhog's Day on there is just WTF.

The Man Who Knew Too Little is a oft-forgotten gem.
