The Top Ten

  1. Coming to America

    How could anyone say this isn't his best movie? He plays half of the characters, and his genuine portrayal of love for Lisa is just inspiring. This is the perfect blend of comedy and love.

    Saw this movie last night, and I fell in love with this movie.

    I especially love the dancing scene at the beginning.

    I love that movie! I have never seen all of Beverly Hills Cop, so I can't compare it, but this one is hilarious!

  2. Beverly Hills Cop

    I love this movie. Perfect mix of action and humour! It also has a super catchy theme song. This movie deserves to be at the top!

    I love this movie. I can never stop laughing when I watch this. It is my all-time favourite movie.

    It's an amazingly funny movie. I always cry while watching it.

  3. The Nutty Professor

  4. Trading Places

  5. 48 HRS.

  6. Life

    Who can forget Cornbread?

  7. Harlem Nights

    Why did everyone hate this movie when it first came out? It was a laughathon from beginning to end and had a great lineup too. You've got Eddie and Charlie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, and Arsenio Hall. It's a fun time. What more could you want?

  8. Eddie Murphy Raw

    The vulgar and raunchy Eddie is 10x funnier, and he should've stayed that way instead of going PG-13. The Nutty Professor 1 and 2 are great though, don't get me wrong, but after seeing Dolemite Is My Name and his 80's work, I want more of the unfiltered Eddie Murphy.

  9. Mulan

    He's hilarious and heartwarming. Classic Murphy.

  10. The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps

    Better than the first movie.

    11. The Newcomers
