Baron Munchausen - Beyond Tiki

It's a completely different sensibility from the Monty Python stuff, but it is great in it's own right. I love Brazil, Fear and Loathing, Time Bandits... I have al of them on DVD. That said, I thought Munchausen was his weakest effort. I was super excited for his take on Don Quixote... which was cancelled mid-shoot after being plagued with various production difficulties. A documentary about the almost-film, called "Lost in La Mancha" (I think) won enough accolades that Gilliam wants to go back and finish the real movie at some point, but it looks grim. Speaking of Grimm, he's filming something about the Brothers Grimm as we speak. Should be cool!
