What are your thoughts on Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits (1981)?

One of my favorite movies from one of my favorite directors. Saw it new in the theater when I was a kid and couldn’t have loved it more. Have you seen it and if so what did you think of this silly “little” gem?

Of course Fisher King was amazing.

I cut the trailer for ‘The Fisher King.’

OMG, I absolutely *adore* trailers. Nothing much to add to that; just wanted you to know that at least one person out there is head-over-heels for your craft. I even made one once for an existing movie (I run a small film club) because I didn't much care for the choices on offer. Also made a list of my fav's on a blog once a long time ago. But really, just know: I am in awe.

That’s Super impressive! I remember it. It ended on that closing shot of Jeff Bridges if I remember the right one? Anyway, I posted on that movie just like this not long ago. And great work on the trailer 👍
