Because while Eddie Murphy has proven that he can do the whole dramatic and dramedy thing in films like Dreamgirls and Dolemite is My Name, Eddie Murphy is usually at his best when he’s in full comic mode.
But I’m sure there are people out there who will say that Norbit or Pluto Nash is his funniest performance, so I’m not going to worry if I miss out on your favorite.
With so many great characters to choose from, I know I’m going to miss a few of your favorites (honestly, I could have probably filled almost half of this list with Coming to America alone).
