TIFF 09 - The Fisher King? Brazil? Rank Your Favorite Terry Gilliam Flicks
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is slated to close the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday night and there are several reasons why it may end up being director Terry Gilliam's best movie: Not only does it promise a fantastical and unusual story filled with surreal surprises -- but it is also graced with Heath Ledger's last performance, as well as those by Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law. After its December release in theaters, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is sure to rank high amongst Gilliam's most well-known works --Time Bandits, Brazil, The Fisher King, 12 Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas -- to name a few.
In the meantime, what's Terry Gilliam's best movie so far?
You forgot to include "Tideland" in your survey. I've seen several of Gilliam's films and Tideland is at least as good as Brazil (which is widely considered to be Gilliam's masterpiece). I know it was critically panned, but the critics have been wrong before. Besides that, I'm sure alot of people would pick Tideland over Brothers Grimm.
