Where the Buffalo Roam (1980)

Where the Buffalo Roam
If you are a fan of the late, great gonzo writer Hunter S. Thompson, this is a must see. While wildly uneven in Bill Murray's portrayal of HST, and an equally frustrating script, it is much more enjoyable as a movie than the recently released Johnny Depp tour de force portrayal in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", which is often painful to watch, but probably a more accurate representation of the great gonzo himself. The best scenes revolve around his frustrated editor fevorishly seeking copy, while Peter Boyle literally steals the movie as HST's alter ego, Lazlo. A classic scene is with R.M. Nixon in a bathroom. A fun introduction to a truly strange and compelling individual. My best suggestion is to purchase a copy of the documentary "Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride", read his first books on the Hells Angels, the Super Bowl, Las Vegas, and his best work, "The Great Shark Hunt". Go Gonzo!

Amazing insight into true Gonzo Journalism - must see if you liked Fear and Loathing!
If you're reading this hopefully you don't need much persuasion to get this movie. I heard about this movie and automatically ordered 8 of them from amazon, they were 5 bucks each! Gave them to family and friends. You will laugh till you cry and probably watch it 3x in one night. Especially if you love Bill Murray - this is a combination of Murray's skills plus Thompson's escapades. If you liked (read: appreciated) Fear and Loathing, you will love this movie, check it out.
