Movies starring Michael Murphy

What's Up, Doc? (1972)

94 mins     Comedy, Romance      

"What's Up, Doc?" is not only a crazy movie but also a crazy good one as Peter Bogdanovich takes everything which was so good about screwball comedies from the 30s and brings them together in one wonderful movie. It's as if B...

The Year of Living Dangerously (1982)

115 mins     Drama      

"The Year of Living Dangerously" is the sort of movie which for a long time I have steered clear off, not because it sounded something I wouldn't enjoy but it is set in a county and era I have no connection to. Is that import...

The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial (1988)

100 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

I will stop there because I am sure there will be some who watch "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial" having never watched "The Caine Mutiny" and to say what happens would spoil this movie. And as such I should say for those who ...

Batman Returns (1992)

126 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller

It's 2015 and it has almost been 100 years since the real Ambrose Small suddenly disappeared, yes if you were not aware "Sleeping Dogs Lie" is based upon a true story. But I need to burst your bubble now because the case was ...

Away from Her (2006)

110 mins     Drama, Romance      

First up "Away from Her" is one of those rare movies which restore your faith in those who make movies. This isn't some masterpiece, it isn't a classic, it's not mainstream but it's not arty but it is a touching real movie wh...

Greta (2009)

92 mins     Drama, Romance      

When I saw "Greta" listed on the TV schedule it was called "Surviving Summer" and with it starring Hilary Duff made me think cutesy comedy, I hadn't read a synopsis at the time but I did wonder why it was being shown late at ...

White House Down (2013)

131 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller      

A few things struck me as I watched "White House Down" one of which was James Woods who seemed to have morphed in to George C. Scott not only beginning to look like him but also having some of the great actors style. And that...
