Five Favourite Films with Bill Nighy
Bowfinger
"Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy make me laugh out loud. Eddie Murphy makes me laugh generally speaking, Steve Martin makes me laugh, I love him with all my heart, and the combination was just beautiful. At the end when Eddie Murphy begins to believe the things that have been weirdly happening to him are in fact true, and that he might save the universe, it always makes me laugh out loud. I love the fact that he comes in and says to Steve Martin at one point "Guess who I had intercourse with last night?" which always makes me smile."

on Apr 02 2009 11:05 AM Great list by a great actor. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 02 2009 11:07 AM Wouldn't have expected to see Punch Drunk Love on one of these lists. Awesome. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 02 2009 11:44 AM In the latest Underworld-3, he looked a hell of a lot like Peter Cushing, who was also a star of Vampire films. I think Bill Nighy would make a great, younger version of Grand Moff Tarkin, in the upcoming STAR WARS live action tv show. He is a damn fine actor to boot, so i think he could really pull of such a role. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 02 2009 11:45 AM Ooh, or maybe he could play Peter Cushing in a biagraphy film? Someone should write a script with this in mind. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 02 2009 01:24 PM Nighy rocks. Whenever i think of him i think of the line from Love, Actually, "kids, don't buy drugs. Become a pop star and they give them to you for free." (Reply to this) |
on Apr 02 2009 01:56 PM I'll get on that script bat-fink, thanks (Reply to this) |
on Apr 02 2009 02:02 PM I have to say I couldn't stand him in Pirates. It wasn't his fault, is was they way they made him talk. It was like listening to a little kids talk while eating 'pasghetti'. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 02 2009 02:11 PM a nice list from a great actor (Reply to this) |

on Apr 02 2009 02:23 PM Since when was Audrey Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby?!? Sorry. Just a big fan of that movie, and I can't stand it when people get Audrey and Katharine confused. They're not even related! (Reply to this) |
on Apr 02 2009 03:23 PM You all know how I feel about "Bringing Up Baby". (I don't like it.) But this list is anything but generic. "Bowfinger" is a pretty funny movie. and "Missippi Burning" is great. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 02 2009 04:17 PM How can anyone not like Bringing Up Baby? One of the wittiest and snappiest farces ever set to film, with two actors at their height. Watch it again. Then again, if you simply cannot stand to listen to Kate utter a single line with that impossibly eccentric, exaggerated accent, well, I understand. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 02 2009 04:21 PM Hey look, well thought out and original choices. Nice. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 02 2009 04:39 PM Very original list! Finally someone put something besides the Godfather! (Reply to this) |

on Apr 02 2009 05:18 PM In reply to this comment (#2408157) What if I told you it was bad because of Katherine Hepburn...(wait for it)...the most overated actress who ever lived. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES? (Reply to this) |
on Apr 02 2009 07:05 PM yes.....exactly....katherine hepburn is almost as useless as julia roberts. waaaaaay overated......todays actresses could do any hepburn role better than she did. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 02 2009 09:43 PM He's a great actor, though I hated the Underworld movies. He's the best part of them, and it seems no matter how bad a movie is, he makes it way better by just being there. Very cool guy from what I've seen of him. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 02 2009 09:47 PM pity willem defoe doesnt do more creditable movies like mississippi anymore. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 03 2009 07:30 AM Love Bill Nighy. Not sure where this crazy tangent is coming from, but do you know who Favorite 5 I want to read?? Gary Busey. Now that would be press-worthy. Meeting him face to face would be the scariest thing in my life. I would literally want to turn and run away from him, but I'd also be afraid that he'd think it was some kind of game and start chasing me. CREEPY! Now that I've got that out my system, as you were.
