The Bill Murray Stories: Life Lessons Learned from a Mythical Man

Just watched in amazement and joy for the whole time truly a one of a kind genuine soul who happens to be a celebrity

The strange behavior of Bill Murray off camera is a fact that many probably already are aware of....at least to a point. I knew that Murray liked to occasionally drop in on weddings and other celebrations unannounced. He apparently doesn't come to spoil the celebrations in any way...but likes to join in with the fun with huge groups of strangers. However, "The Bill Murray Stories" exposes not just him crashing weddings and parties but much more. He apparently just loves being with people and it's almost like a form of performance art! The film details example after example of his antics....all harmless and odd....and it also tries to help understand WHY and WHO Murray is and why this is something he's famous for doing. A truly odd documentary about a truly odd man....well worth seeing but probably not a big surprise to many, as Murray is famous for this sort of thing.

This was a surprisingly good documentary. I think that the main premise was to try to make philosophical sense out of Bill Murray, the man. It doesn't start out that way. The beginning makes you feel as if the shows premise is the phenomena of Bill Murry stories. There are some heartwarming footage of Murray at various venues having just popped up randomly. Interspersed are some movie clips; and, the theme switches there to philosophy.

If you love Bill Murray, you'll love this movie. If you don't, after watching this movie, you'll love Bill Murry... then, after you've watched the movie a second time, you'll love this movie.

Several years ago, a friend told me a story about when she & her husband were on a flight when she went to hand her empty glass to an airline steward. Being a stewardess herself, she quickly realized the guy who was taking up trash wasn't an airline employee - it was Bill Murray. He volunteered to help gather trash! Great story - which is repeated in different ways several times during this documentary. Such a great guy who likes to make people feel better. This is totally worth 1:10 it takes to watch this show. Highly recommend it!

This documentary must have been as satisfying to make as it was to watch. It's genuinely evident that the film maker not only learned the most important lesson about Bill Murray, but an even more important lesson about why Bill Murray is what he is: A genuinely great, and thus rare kind of person. The same philosophy applies to this film within it's genre. Genuinely great, and like a perfect steak, it's quite rare.
