More on What About Bob?
Description from Wikipedia:
What About Bob? is a 1991 comedy movie directed by Frank Oz which stars Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss. Murray plays Bob Wiley, a megalomanic (his megalomania manifests through multiphobia and obsessive compulsion) psychiatric patient who follows his successful and (beyond) egotistical psychiatrist Dr. Leo Marvin (played by Richard Dreyfuss) on vacation. When the unstable Bob befriends the other members of Marvin's family, it pushes the doctor over the edge. Upon seeing his performance at the world premiere, Steven Spielberg spent $250,000 on a campaign to not only get Bill Murray nominated for the Best Leading Actor Academy Award but actually win it. Murray didn't receive a nomination and he on several occasions has attempted to pay Spielberg back, but Spielberg refused.
Murray improvised so many lines during the movie that accurate scripts couldn't be written until after shooting the scenes.
This film is number 43 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies".
