With director Paul Haggis coming off his Oscar-win for Crash and Zach Braff hot off of Garden State, The Last Kisspromised to be far better than it turned out. At least Ramis acquitted himself well as Professor Bowler in the film. Michael (Braff) has his own marital plans shaken upon meeting a free-spirited woman a friend's wedding. Worried the mar...
With a far lighter tone, breezier pace, and overall cartoonish temperament,Ghostbusters IIreceived critical ire in comparison to the massive hit original. Look again though, the movie is far better than it's remembered for. Of course, Ramis ramps up his role as Dr. Egon Spengler in the film, the mold-collecting, Twinkie-eating scientist who helps t...
In the rocking cult '80s animated flick Heavy Metal, Ramis voices the role of Zekes in the segment "So Beautiful, So Dangerous." It's just the second film Ramis appeared in following Stripes.

Ramis's penultimate acting credit belongs to Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, in which he worked with Judd Apatow for the second time following Knocked Up. Both films were released in 2007. Walk Hardfollows Dewey Cox, an eccentric singer who hits the big-time. One of Dewey's early champions comes in the form of L'Chaim (Ramis), a Hassidic Jewish rec...
Ramis makes a dramatic departure in Baby Boom, in which he plays an uptight investment banker largely devoid of the actor's trademark levity. His sole purpose as SteveBuchner is to give his female employee J.C. Wiatt (Diane Keaton) as hard a time as possible. As for J.C., her organized life as a career woman is utterly upended when inheriting an in...
Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt earned Academy Awards for their incredible performances in As Good As It Gets, but it's the support from people like Greg Kinnear, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Harold Ramis that really makes the movie sing. The film concerns Melvin Udall (Nicholson), an obstreperous writer who cannot be bothered by any little inconvenience. W...
While it's true he had plenty of performative experience from his years as an improv comedian on SCTV, it's hard to believe Stripesis Ramis' first feature film. He's so laidback and naturalistic on-screen that you'd never guess. RELATED: The 5 Best (& 5 Worst) '80s Comedies The hysterical Ivan Reitman war-comedy finds John Winger (Bill Murray) and ...
One can detect a direct umbilicus between Ramis's brand of humor and that of Judd Apatow. Which is no doubt why Apatow cast Ramis in a small role in the 2007 breakout hit Knocked Up! Seth Rogen stars as Ben Stone, an immature wastrel who has a one-night stand with the out-of-his-league Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl). As the title suggests, Alison g...
As a writer/director, Groundhog Dayis almost certainly Ramis's finest hour. It's a perfect movie. And one of the chief reasons why was Ramis's decision to cast his lifelong pal Bill Murray in the lead role of Phil Connors. When cynical weatherman Phil is sent to Punxatawney, Pennsylvania to cover the town's annualGroundhog Dayceremony, he somehow g...
"I collect spores, molds, and fungus!" How's that for a hot pickup line from Dr. Egon Spengler (Ramis), the way-too serious Ghostbuster who plays hard to get with secretary Janine (Annie Potts) in the classic supernatural comedy. Ghostbustersis a rare breed of classic comedy that both critical circles and general filmgoers enjoy in equal measure. T...
