People tend to put him in the "great actor" or "superstar" category. He's neither, in my opinion. His name is no guarantee of a killer opening unless the movie has "Ghost" and "busters" in the title. Sure he's had other hits, but I just don't get him. The weird marks/scars on his face are always a distraction to me too, for some odd reason. Disclaimer: I haven't seen ALL of his movies so maybe I'm missing some thoroughly-great performances. That said, my favorite Murray movie that I've seen was "Groundhog Day." I haven't seen Scrooged, although we did play it to middling crowds. I remember Terms being a big hit here and remember older people being peeved with the language in it, but other than that I don't have a lot of memories of it.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-23-2011 05:06 PM                     "Terms of Endearment" had a nice long run at the Mann's Bruin Theatre in Westwood (UCLA area). I saw it opening weekend there. Just think how the film would've played with Burt Reynolds cast in the Jack Nicholson part. I saw "Scrooged" opening weekend over in the main house of Mann's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 11-23-2011 06:35 PM                     Cinemark Movies 6 in Mishawaka, IN will be playing Scrooged tomorrow at midnight to kick off Black Friday, in 35mm. If memory serves, they have a CP-55 in that house. I've got my ticket!
