I prefer The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. I think it is Terry Gilliam's best film.

Brazil is a GOAT, not just for Gilliam, but for Sci-Fi and/or Dystopia films in general.

Brazil. It's my favorite movie, period. The Criterion Collection release that came out a couple of years ago is mandatory for anyone who loves the movie as much as I do. Lots of extras including the hideous "Love Conquers All" version a studio cobbled together to give it a happy ending.

Munchausen disappointed me the first time I saw it a couple of decades ago. But when I watched it last year I thought it was surprisingly good, much better than I remembered.

Time Bandits is uneven but if often brilliant.

Easily. It's a satirical masterpiece.

Effectively a trilogy of films in the grand scheme of things - Time Bandits is the most fun/rewatchable - Brazil probably the best "film" of the 3 and Baron Munchausen is the one that the ambition was there, but the execution didn't quite match up with the other elements.

I've seen Time Bandits at least half a dozen times, Brazil twice and Munchausen only once. (My wife is a Munchausen descendent, by the way.)

Time Bandits for me, but Baron did give me a topless Uma Thurman, so it's a close 2nd

She never looked better than she did in Munchausen. In fact, in Munchausen she doesn't even look like herself. Very hot in Munchausen

It has been a LONG time since I have seen Time Bandits, so I don't want to comment on it too much as I have forgotten much of it. I should probably rewatch it soon.

Brazil is a pretty great movie, but Baron Munchausen is much more watchable and easier to get into.

The most rewatchable of the three, imo

Ugh, I hate agreeing with Mizzoukills, but . . .



Only because of this:
