Where the Buffalo Roam

This has always stood out in my mind as the apex of Bill Murray's work. Yes, I'm well aware of the various characters he's tackled over the years but for my dollars he's nailed none quite like he has here with his portrayal of Hunter S. Thompson. Never mind Johnny Depp in FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, Murray is the real deal here and with the late Peter Boyle as his friend and lawyer Lazlo by his side the adventures are top drawer mayhem to say the least. With a haunting score by Neil Young this is one for you to discover all on your own though I must point out the nebbish Dooley found on the press junket is portrayed by none other than Mark Metcalf who we would all come to know and truly loathe as THE MASTER on BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. This is one simply not to be missed.
