I like 2 movies: Quick Change (1990) and WHAT ABOUT BOB? (1991)
I wasn't crazy about What About Bob, but Quick Change is a movie that deserves more airings and love. In addition to Murray, so many great bits in small roles from Philip Bosco, Tony Shaloub and others. Plus Jason Robards' gravitas and maybe Randy Quaid's best comedic role.
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas.
A looper?
A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So I'm on the first tee with him I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says?
No.
Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know. And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that going for me. Which is nice.

According to Wiki, "Quick Change is the only directorial credit of Bill Murray's career."
But yes, I'd forgotten about that one-it was quite inventive, and I appreciate recognizable people in small side roles.
seldom and none, never understood his appeal, never will
