Rankings

1)Monty Python and the Holy Grail (tie) (My favorite Monty Python, zany brilliance)
2)Adventures of Baron Munchausen (a much-maligned fantasy gem)
3)Time Bandits
4)Twelve Monkeys
5)The Fisher King

That's it Steve? No ratings, no opinions, no like or not like? A man of few words eh?
I can list 20,000 films I've seen but it's a bit more interesting if I indicate which ones I've liked and which ones were a pile of shite, might even put some people off seeing em.

Ah symmetry. My love for Monty Python & the Holy Grail equals my absolute hatred of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

So did he expand the segment or something? I wasn't aware there were separate entities of The Crimson Permanent Assurance.

*1. Monty Python And The Holy Grail - A
2. The Meaning Of Life (segment Crimson Permanent Assurance) - A-
*3. Twelve Monkeys - B+
4. Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - B+
5. The Fisher King - B

6. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus - C+

I've seen part of Baron Munchausen, it didn't strike me as something I wanted to see the rest of.

The first is one of the funniest films ever made and the next five are very good-to-good but the rest are disappointing and the last nearly unwatchable!

Thinking about getting the one-disc anamorphic "Brazil" to replace the old one in my 3-disc set.
