Terry Gilliam's Brazil. BBC 1. 0130 hours (ish). Tonight.

Watch it. Provided you can get BBC1, that is.

Hey, that looks pretty good. I'll have to watch it with headphones (damn non-nocturnal family, when will they learn eh?), but never mind:[/color]

In Terry Gilliam's extraordinary vision of a futuristic bureaucratic hell, Jonathan Pryce stars as the Orwellian hero, a harassed clerk who is only kept sane by his vivid daydreams, which see him as a flying warrior coming to the aid of a beautiful woman (Kim Greist). As unpredictable as Gilliam's Monty Python animations, this is a daring and dazzling take on 1984.

I'm having to tape it, as I'm working tomorrow. One of the best films I've ever seen. You won't be disappointed.

Almost reminds me of 'The Secret life of Walter Mitty'.

Brazil is one of the most entertaining and freakish moives I've ever seen. Definately worth watching, just so you can understand some of the jokes people make that reference obscure bits of the movie. :)

Welll now that I've managed to tear myself away from The Great Escape I'll have to tape it.

I swore I wouldn't watch that whole film again but it reeled me in yet again. And yet again I thought that this time Steve McQueen would finally make it over the barbed wire. :lol:

I know what you mean. Every time I shout 'leg!' just in case Ripley forgets before the airlock shuts.

Mmmmm. The Great Escape. A brilliant movie that, one of my favorites. I'm always teary eyed at the end.

Man, I was just sat here thinking "Code the pr0n-site or check HLP?" and I'm so glad that I chose the latter.

20 minutes to go.

I was intending to, but last time (and the only one, as far as I know) it was shown by a television channel available here in Brazil I wasn't lucky enough to be able to watch it. I wonder if I can find it for rent somewhere.

I didn't think I'd be up to watch it, but to my horror I am, so I shall.

[color=cc9900]That was a mildly confusing movie. Brilliantly executed though. What happened?
...hmm, going without 20 hours sleep isn't doing me much good. Sleep now, I will.[/color]
