Don't ask me why but I like the movie "Meet Dave" the best.
I laughed when he, dressed like Ricado Montalvan as 'Mr. Rourk' on "Fantasy Island", tried to walk away from the crash site.

I laughed harder when he was hit by the car.

He was great as a substitute teacher, telling the 'bully', "how disappointed all the other Buttcrax must be in his behavior." Then by smokin' the chalk board.

He plays both the captain's and the space ship's,as Dave Ming Chang roles with ease.

At the fair, eating the hotdogs and then later in the men's room... Treating the teddy bear as an enemy.
Finding the bully, in time to save his young friend,'Josh' from a bloody nose, and shaking the bully until the 'orb' falls out of the pocket.
Winning the softball toss only to knock himself(the ship) out. Being revived in the ER by electro-shock, then is sent for an MRI, only to stick, magnetically to the outside of the machine, too funny.
Taking Jenna and Josh to the Cuban/Salsa Restaurant, the crew getting drunk on tequila. An officer on the ship, coming out of the closet, aka Johnny Dazzles, and being busted by 3, she walks into his room and hears Cher music playing and they 'talk'. They return to the helm, with 3 all dressed up and 'Johnny' in time to teach Dave how to salsa dance.
Then the cops show up and the movie starts to get serious until one of the crew bails out of Dave's right ear and plops into the cup of coffee.
Number 2 takes over the ship and bad things happen until the crew figure out 2 is cuckoo and free's the captain, yea!


What's your favorite(s)?
Explain why instead of just agreeing with someone else.
If you don't like any of his movies explain why, in a clean way.

I like Norbit and The Nutty Professor. Something about the fat suit makes me laugh every time.

I can't think of any other of his movies at the moment that I've liked, but I'm sure I'm missing some obvious ones...

Don't know if this really counts, but Mulan was fantastic with Eddie Murphy as Mushu.

I've watched a lot of movies with Eddie Murphy in them but I just can't seem to recall the names, the only one that comes into mind was Men In Black. It was awesome, though I forgot most of it, I watched it over a year ago.

Men In Black

Um, that was Will Smith...

Norbit

Fuck that.

Mulan was fantastic with Eddie Murphy as Mushu.

Indeed.

the one were the animals talk

Dr. Dolittle?!

The Nutty Professor

This one was decent, a bit of an improvement over the 1963 Jerry Lewis film.

As for me, I would have to say either Trading Places or Beverly Hills Cop.
