With the right crowd of friends, I liked, The man who knew too little, but kind of wish he Murrayfied it more. Quick Change is a pretty good forgotten film.

Murray has his humor, "chewing the furniture" as it's called in the business. Probably the best example of Murrayfying is in Caddy Shack... just really heavy humor, but also the Murray personality, where he's kind of playing himself, like in Ghostbusters. That kind of force can overshadow character development and other revelatory aspects of other actors emotions and plot points.
I think in Groundhog Day Murray is funny, but he keeps it within the character and doesn't overshadow important story aspects.
