    Bill Murray - brilliant when he does his dry wit.

    Although the funniest scene ever is in National Lampoon's Animal House when James Belushi is getting told off by the ViceChancellor for getting zero in his exams. The camera scans to him and he looks really proud of his score. He has a pencil stuck in each nostril.

    Priceless!

    I watched 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' last night so I have to add John Candy and Steve Martin for their performance together in that. They were brilliant, side-splitting!! Steve Martin's facial expression when John Candy backs the half burnt out car into the motel window is priceless, in fact so is John Candys'.
    Wicked movie!! :):)

    Gene Wilder! Who was in Blazing Saddles, was'nt he in a western with Harrison Ford back around 1980? I forget...I remember
    it was called The Frisco Kid.

    My vote would go to Norman Wisdom...er, :ninja:

    Mike.

    Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder.

    There's never been a nastier, more villianous comic character in history.

    Tony Robinson in, yes you guessed it, Blackadder.


    Blackadder: "I Spy with my little eye, something begining with T"
    Baldrick: "Breakfast!"
    Blackadder: "What?"
    Baldrick: "My breakfast always begins with a cup of Tea..."
    Blackadder: "No, a letter."
    Baldrick: "Breakfast doesn't begin with a letter... Postman don't come 'till 10:30..."

    :D
