Mine:

1. Beverly Hills Cop
2. Beverly Hills Cop 2 - Joint with No. 1
3. Dreamgirls
4. Trading Places
5. Coming to America

I hear Bowfinger is good.

He sure made lots of tosh between Coming to America in 1988 and The Nutty Professor in 1996 and has made even more tosh between 2000's The Nutty Professor 2 and Dreamgirls in 2006.

Metro was my number 6. I Spy would be in my top 10.

48 Hrs and 48 Hrs 2 are good bit they really needed more comedy and less violence.

Top five? I only like one Murphy film and he's a CG donkey.

I don't really think of Shrek or Shrek 2 as Eddie Murphy films but I guess so.

BHC and BHC2 are the two best buddy cop movies ever, both are way better than the Lethal Weapon films. Dreamgirls is also brilliant too. I've seen it twice and look forward to catching it on HD-DVD soon(ish).

He has made more tosh than decent films overall but his good ones are so good. It's a pity he is (mostly) past it though.

I wish I'd seen Bowfinger before selling it now

Sorry, but in no way are ANY of the BHC series better than Lethal Weapon 1-3.

My Top Five (alphabetical):

Beverly Hills Cop
Coming to America
The Distinguished Gentleman
Metro
Trading Places

Sorry, but yes Parts 1 and 2 are considerably better. At least LW has stayed consisted I'll give it that but otherwise they're not in the same league. All LW's are fun but are also very overrated too. Of all the Top 80's Classics they're near the bottom in fact, it's a particularly strong list (for fun not quality).

The Comedy and Action in both are just perfect!

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

I'll post a poll and we'll see what Bullets thinks... 8)

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 01 Jan 2008, 23:23

We both know what would win.

If you started a poll asking if Drunken Master, Drunken Master 2 and Police Story were excellent we both know what everyone would say. It doesn't stop them all being boring and very overrated 8)

Gojensen thinks Blade Trinity is better than Blade 2. Go bite his head off

BHC 1 and LW1 are bith great - BHC is more of a comedy, LW is more an action film with buddy/comedy elements. LW2 is great as its so un-PC

A liberal lefty leaf-eating facist. Yes.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 02 Jan 2008, 12:32

I think I prefer LW to BHC but I enjoyed both

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 02 Jan 2008, 14:39

Brad doesn't care what you think.

Anybody seen "Norbit"?

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 02 Jan 2008, 16:01

I liked Coming to America a lot, and Shrek.

Not really a fan though. I'm more of a Richard Pryor enthusiast

Movies like Norbit are proof of not only Satan's existence, but that he also works in Hollywood.

*Cough*

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 02 Jan 2008, 16:48

I haven't seen Norbit and have no desire to. It looks crude and offensive.
I like Shrek 1 and 2 lots, but I dont know if theyre "Eddie Murphy" movies per se

Sounds like most other Murhoid films. He made his name being crude and offensive.

It looked crap.
