8 Lesser Known Bill Murray Classics
Don't just stick with the same movies you always see. Try these forgotten flicks on for size...
WBYouve probably seen it theres a meme that continues to buzz around the internet that goes like this: someone will post a questionable story of small-scale social injustice but replace the villain of the story with Bill Murray. Heres one variation from Reddit user Lurker32:
When I was waiting to cross at the 46th and 7th crosswalk I noticed a hand slip around me from behind and grab two of my fries. In my confusion I turned around and HOLY S**T ITS BILL F*****G MURRAY! Before I could get a word out, he yelled over the crowd, No one will ever believe you."While the stories are rarely, if ever, true they originate through Murrays famously outlandish private life, with stories of firing his agent and replacing them with an answering machine, partying with random teenagers in foreign cities, or face-planting himself onto the floor during rained out baseball matches. But whether or not any of these happened - or to what extent they are exaggerated - is besides the point. Comedy is, after all a construction, one generated through surprise, the improper, and the unlikely. So, the joke - if you missed it - is that Bill Murray as a person even more anarchic than his on screen role. But while these stories are so befitting for the likes of Peter Venkman or Phil Connors, there has been a lot more to Murrays film career than the anarchic folk hero than the internet would have you believe.
