In collage, in one of my film classes I did my final paper on Brazil. I had to dissect a scene. I did the paper scene. It's a brilliant film. Again, Terry G is one of my favorites. (except for Brothers Grim. Was hardly a Gilliamesk film). I would still like to see him do Don Quixoti.

Yep, <pretty> much anything by Terry Gilliam is good stuff in my book.  Brazil is an EXCELLENT movie, not sure how I forgot it. 

RE: Don Quixote, I'm sure you've seen "Lost in La Mancha" haven't you?   Terry Gilliam ->>  :banghead:

Yup, pure sadness. I also thought that the behind the scenes of 12 monkeys is one of the best behind the scenes features. LOTR had a nice set of BTS too, but the 12 Monkeys set let you feel the agony of his film making. It seems to be a love hate relationship. You really kinda get a taste of Gilliam's mind. Things I never saw in the film were revealed. He puts little things in the background all over the place. The reason I really like his films is that it seems that I keep finding new little details. He builds them deep.

Oh crap... I want to also add The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. I have watched that thing too many times. Still love it.
The scene of the town being bombed, Munchausen asks the soldiers of they were going to return fire. Nooo suhh...Well Why NOT?!? It's Wednesday Suh.
What can I say, I am a sucker for British humor.

shmokes:
1- Pulp Fiction
2- O Brother, Where Art Thou?
3- Evil Dead 2
4- Das Boot
5- Chicken Run

These types of lists are so difficult.  I could easily replace the list with five different movies and feel that it was still perfectly accurate.  Hell, Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs could be sitting up in Pulp Fiction's spot.  Miller's Crossing, Fargo, Barton Fink, Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, The Man Who Wasn't There -- nearly any Coen Bros. film could be sitting in slot 2.  Evil Dead is great for entirely unconventional, and possibly illegitimate reasons.  And there are probably dozens of movies I liked as much or more than Das Boot and Chicken Run, but those are bloody fantastic, brilliant films that came to mind, so there they are.
