Holy Grail and Fear and Loathing only good enough? Blasphemy.

I have a slightly unhealthy passion for Baron Munchausen (the nude Uma Thurman might have a teensy-tiny bit to do with that) and really like the rest of Gilliam's films. Brazil is both a work of genius and, as a Civil Servant, something I find myself recognising - and there's that absolutely killer ending. His films generally look great; which is something I'll forgive a film a lot for doing.

If I remember correctly, the studio stepped in and took control over Brothers Grimm at an early stage, not allowing Terry Gilliam to do what he wanted with the movie because they were worried he was going to go overboard in terms of budget and weirdness. I think thats why the movie ended up being more 'vanilla' than people were anticipating.

Gilliam has a (perhaps undeservedly) bad reputation with studios in this regard because Baron Munchausen was over budget and flopped at the box office. Funding was also pulled for Gilliam's Don Quixote movie (starring Johnny Depp) in the middle of filming due to a series of unfortunate events on (and off) the set. I really recommend the documentary 'Lost in la Mancha' at a behind the scenes look at the disastrous attempt to make that movie.

Its pretty sad that a director this talented finds it difficult to get his movies made. 12 Monkeys, Brazil, Fear & Loathing and 'Fisher King' were all brilliant. I still haven't seen Tideland though.

Baron Munchausen!!! Gigantic headless amorous beings flying around in space (one of which just happens to be Robin Williams). Good stuff as a kid, Great stuff now. Just got a new dvd version here in the states.

12 Monkeys and Fear and Loathing are extremely awesome.

Brazil and Time Bandits hold a special place in my heart.

Never seen any of the other ones.

Apparently Gilliam is finally going to be able to make The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, a film he first attempted to make back in 2002 I think, but something went wrong in the first week of filming, and investors pulled their money, and people filed lawsuits, and insurance companies came calling...But apparently it's all been sorted now and is set to star Jonny Depp.

Brazil and Fisher King are two of my favourite movies, I've seen both many times. And how can you not love Time Bandits or Baron Munchhausen? Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Jabberwocky and - though not as good IMO - Tideland are brilliant but in a way that makes you feel nauseous, disoriented and psychotic (meaning they're great too). 12 Monkeys is also very good. Brothers Grimm I didn't even make it through.

[caladanbrood]

There's been an astonishingly persistant rumour that Gilliam wants to make a film of Good Omens. Considering they've been saying that for more than fifteen years, on the other hand, I'm not holding my breath.

He also wanted to make a film of Don Quixote...And that didn't turn out so well.

Seconded - and too bad that the actual movie was not made...
