Title: Terry Gilliam
Post by: Lord Nepenthean on June 24, 2004, 04:28:59 PM
This man is a genius of film.  I've only seen a few of his films, but they were all good.

Time Bandits
Twelve Monkeys
Brazil
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Life of Brian

He's a great writer, director, etc.  I just saw Brazil last week, and Twelve Monkeys last night, and have found that the guy is probably as good as Tim Burton at creating the perfect environments/atmosphere in his movies.  Good stuff.

I don't like his monthy pyton shorts. In fact, I think they're the weakest in Monty Python and should have never been in it.
I love fear and loathing in las vegas though. That movie is a master piece. It's funny, the acting is great, awesome camerawork, great lighting, funny. Brilliant movie.

Yes.  It's kind of like the wacked-out 80's version of The Wizard of Oz.

don't forget "the Adventures of Baron Munchausen" and i belive he also did "the Fisher King".

and don't miss his cameo in the classic "Spies Like Us".
