10 Iconic Film Performances With Hardly Any Screen Time
4. Bill Murray Zombieland
Playing quite possibly the best role ever (himself) Bill Murrays brief appearance in Zombieland was one of, if not the, best moments in the entire film and though its not quite on a par with some of the Oscar-winning dramatic performances on this list its nevertheless a brilliant comedic scene delivered with Murrays trademark deadpan hilarity. He turns up about halfway through the film, disguised as zombie to survive amongst the undead (or rather, to play golf), in a scene peppered with in-jokes and references to his career, and though hes only in Zombieland for a matter of minutes he manages to steal the show even from Woody Harrelsons brilliant, Twinkie-obsessed redneck Tallahassee. Before hes accidentally shot dead, that is, but even in his dying throes Murray is still hilarious.
