Where the Buffalo Roam

Where the Buffalo Roam (1980) is a comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Art Linson and starring Bill Murray as Hunter S. Thompson, the founder of gonzo journalism. Peter Boyle plays his unhinged attorney Lazlo.

The film follows Thompson through two assignments: the Super Bowl and the chaos of the 1972 presidential primaries. Lazlo turns up in both, derailing everything and somehow making the story better. Much of the dialogue is pulled directly from Thompson's own published writing; the scenes feel less like a plot and more like dispatches from the fringes of American sanity. Murray is clearly having a great time, and that energy holds the film together where the structure doesn't. Stream Where the Buffalo Roam online on iFILM.
