Anyone ever seen this movie? It's fucking weird. I just watched today and I liked it but I had no idea what was going on.

I absolutely love Brazil. Gilliam rules.

When I first saw Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, I saw it because it was a Terry Gilliam movie. I had no fucking clue who Hunter S. Thompson was. I do now, of course, and I credit Gilliam's movie with getting me into Thompson's writing.

Tme Bandits and Baron Munchausen are both very good, but they're also kids' movies. So while they're still dark and depressing, they're not *quite* as dark and depressing as Brazil.

"Brazil" is seriously one of the best movies ever made. This thread cheapens it.
