        I've surmised that Froggy is pretty good at this game.

        watch him get this one:
        "Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've *worked* in the private sector. They expect *results*."

        and as always, no googling, people...

            I think the answer is Ghostbusters.
            Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray

                Gozer: Are you a god?
                Ray: No.
                Gozer: Then die.
                Winston: Ray. When someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes.

                and lets not forget:

                Ray: Listen. You smell something?

                  i've always liked, "i'm right in the MIDDLE of something, ray!" complete with murray jump and akroyd head-slap.

                  "tell him about the twinkie."
                  "what about the twinkie?"

                    What you have here is what we like to refer to as a focused-nonterminal-repeating phantasm. A real nasty one too!

                      "You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional cross rip since the Tunguska blast of 1909!"

                      Has anyone actually read up on this? Picture a 10-15 megaton explosion over Russia, one that leveled 60 million trees and shattered windows 400 miles away. Everything points to a meteorite but curiously, NO CRATER, and the trees in the dead center are standing upright. Crazy. Anyway, it was actually 1908.

                          Egon: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.

                          Peter: What?

                          Egon: Don't cross the streams.

                          Peter: Why?

                          Egon: It would be bad.

                          Peter: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean "bad"?

                          Egon: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

                          Ray: Total protonic reversal.

                          Peter: That's bad. Okay. Alright, important safety tip, thanks Egon.

                            While where on the "Ghost Busters" movie, who was everyone’s favorite character from the film...
                            Mine is Peter Venkman, Bill Murray was at, IMO, his comedic best.

                              GhostBusters was bigger than just Bill though. It was a friggin phenomenon.

                              Groundhog Day is notable as being a truly funny romantic comedy, and I think that is owed almost singularly to Bill Murray's involvement.

                              Before Johnny Depp did Hunter S Thompson in Fear and Loathing, Bill Murray played him in the poorly-rated "Where the Buffalo Roam". The movie itself wasn't very good, but his performance was awesome. Peter Boyle did a great job as Carl Lazlo, too.

                                I have heard of this "Where the Buffalo Roam" movie, but I have not seen it any were, would it be worth my trouble to look harder, is the MAN worth it, or is it a total loss?

                                  did you like fear and loathing in las vagas cuz its a bout the same guy. If you know some of your history regarding the late 60's and 70's and can get the refs in the film then i would say go for it cuz its really funny but if you think woodstock is a peanuts cartoon and watergate has somethingt o do with a cigar then dont bother:)

                                  If you consider yourself a Bill Murray fan, it's definitely worth seeing at least once. Despite the crummy reviews, I remember actually liking it quite a bit.

                                  greencine (of which I am a customer) and netflix both seem to have it available... and I think they both offer free trials, too.
