    I could watch Trading Places every day. Murphy/Aykroyd tandem is just pure gold.

    Tough call for me between these three. I think I'd go in this order:

    1. Coming to America
    2. Trading Places
    3. Beverly Hills Cop

    call me jangle leg, jangle leg.

    Underrated movie



    I would probably go with Coming to America, but of course trading places, BH cop and 48 hours are great.

    Honorable mention to Nutty Professor though. The dinner scene always had us cracking up and we used to watch it almost every weekend in HS.

    His best performance (if you don't include his stand-up) is Bowfinger. I am surprised Holy Man or Vampire in Brooklyn made your list instead of it.

    Bowfinger is perhaps the most underrated Murphy performance ever. Oscar worthy.

    This is a tough one, but I had to vote for Vampire in Brooklyn.

    But seriously, I agree with this:
