Where the Buffalo Roam
Where the Buffalo Roam is really rather awesome. It was hard for me to watch and not compare his Hunter S. Thompson to Johnny Depp's. I think Bill Murray just has a more natural acting style, opposed to Depp's theatrical, highly stylized method of acting. I think his deadpan delivery lends pretty well to the character, makes him slightly more believable (only borderline ridiculous). I also liked that the movie used fragments of different events over a span of time to explain Thompson's relationship to his attorney and his editors, rather than one epic adventure. I would also say it's more re-watchable. I find Fear and Loathing was really awesome to watch the first time but is grating upon repeat watches.
Quick Change
I am surprised this isn't a more well know film! The first act (the robbery) is just brilliant. Just pure Murray, totally my kind of humour. The rest of the film gave me a giant stomach ache. Randy Quaid's character is an unwatchable disaster. If you like really painful to watch situational humour this one is for you. I did really like it despite being so uncomfortable the whole time at how much goes wrong for the trio.
