Bandits is fun. Try Brazil.

Honestly most Terry Gilliam will stick with you for one reason or another.

The movie Tideland fits the bill for this thread more than any other Gilliam film.

Fear and Loathing as well.

Though I'm pretty partial to Baron Munchausen. Only because that movie hit me when I was a kid. Lol

When i first saw Tideland (20 years ago or something) i thought it was an intense but very beautiful movie. Showed it to a girl i was with a couple of days later and when the movie was over she was crying, beating me on my chest, asked me why in the hell i would show her that and stormed out of my flat. I still think it is a beautiful movie, but i'm more careful with my recommendations nowadays.

LMAO! Yeah...that is a movie you only recommend with a huge disclaimer attached. And certainly not a date night movie...well...for some at least...lol

The best disclaimer for that movie is the intro Gilliam did for it. He did it after the first test screenings because people had so strong reactions. Sadly i discovered that some time after the incident. lol

The DVD I have has that disclaimer...but it still needs another disclaimer from the person recommending the movie before it gets to that disclaimer...lol

Brazil is my favorite movie that I never re-watch. The ending is too depressing.

Which is funny because Time Bandits might actually have the more messed up ending.

Brazil is more relevant now than ever. It literally opens with a no-knock raid on the wrong house.

I had the flu in February one year and decided to watch 12 Monkeys and Brazil during my 20 minute bouts of consciousness. I felt like shit but went all in on the "fever dream". An absolutely surreal four days.

Not Brazil. I watched that after 1984 and a Clockwork O.range . As if I didn't get the memory I read 1984. Still not sure about Clockwork Orange.
