12 Monkeys. Sci-fi tragedy, Bruce Willis kicks @ss!

kpkelley · 01-15-2009, 03:14 PM

Monty Python and The Holy Grail, no explanation required. Ni!

I was inspired to create this poll because I had the pleasure of watching the Adventures of Baron Munchausen on blu for the first time last night.

It looks fantastic for it's age and I absolutely loved the movie. For such an over the top fantasy it still manages to have a solid story and characters with good dialogue. I was sitting there with a grin on my face the entire time.

No he didn't. Life of Brian was directed by Terry Jones.

I concur! Holds up to multiple viewings very well, and I love showing it to friends who have never seen it (and who have a great sense of humor).

monty python and the holly grail

naturephoto1 · 01-15-2009, 03:15 PM

Probably Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and Time Bandits.

Rich

Slec · 01-15-2009, 03:18 PM

12 monkeys
Holy Grail/Life of Brian

phantompwr · 01-15-2009, 03:14 PM

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I think it was the perfect movie for his strange aesthetic and style, and it is the only movie of his that I haven't gotten tired of. Also my wife likes it and she isn't usually the type for Gilliam movies.
Runner up would be 12 Monkeys.

I voted for Brazil, but truthfully it could have been Time Bandits, Baron M. or 12 Monkeys. Oh hell it could have been any of them.

FindYourWay · 03-04-2009, 03:18 PM

Just watched The Brothers Grimm (owned) the other night and I was amazed at the PQ and AQ. Highly recommended.

I sure would like to see more Gilliam films on blu. I think it's odd that Baron Munchausen was released without the accompanying two other films in Gilliam's "trilogy":
Time Bandits
Brazil

I also think Fisher King and 12 Monkeys would be great to have on blu.

Porkchop Express · 03-04-2009, 03:24 PM

I'm not a fan of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen at all, and was a little disappointed in Brothers Grimm. Although it did have Monica Bellucci in it

. Holy Grail would have to be my favorite, it's a classic comedy.
