Meatballs
Meatballs (1979)

Murray's breakthrough movie was this dumb comedy set at a Canadian summer camp. It was directed by Ivan Reitman who would become a long time collaborator with Bill.

Bunn - See, when I had my fixation with 80's cheesy comedies, I never managed to pick up a copy of this, which is a shame as it looks pretty good. Although I suspect that it's not as good as Screwball Hotel or Hot Dog The Movie. Both of which don't star Bill, but what the hell.

Dave - Bloody great! If you can look past Murray's dodgy friendship with a small boy who likes to 'work out' with him then it's a wicked comedy. It's not as good as these type of movies that followed but don't forget it's the precursor and so is allowed a little leeway...
