Murray, never enjoyed Martin that much.

I didn't realize how much she'd been drinking. She ran out to the car, she asked me to drive her home and I didn't want to and I refused. She asked me one more time, would you please drive me home? I didn't want to ... So I shot her.

I've got to give Bill Murray an edge here. True, Steve Martin has made some wonderful movies: L A STORY, PARENTHOOD, ROXANNE. He's also made movies that were steaming turds: FATHER OF THE BRIDE and THE PINK PANTHER come immediately to mind, and BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE almost comes under that umbrella. Watch these and you'll see a highly competent worker on an assembly line putting in an honest day's work and shutting his work station down at the end of the day.
Of course, Bill Murray did GARFIELD. Hey, anyone can make a mistake.

Steve Martin is on the same level as Martin Short.
quote:Murray was never a stand-up. He came up through Second City and then National Lampoon Radio Hour (and that Howard Cossell mess of a show) prior to SNL.
I would put Robin Williams over both, to be honest. May sound crazy at first but, think about it. He's had a better standup career than Murray, and a better film career than both.

Listening to Steve Martin's old albums is really something. He was STRANGE. In a great way. His jokes were completely unconventional:

Agreed. Things like this and the whole Let's Get Small album were pretty incredible back in the day. My personal favorite:
