12 Monkeys

1 recommendation

"I can't believe this hasn't been added to ThisNext before now. Maybe I missed it my search, but if not, I'll be glad to add it. Another excellent Puzzle Film. I suppose that on a certain level, all of Terry Gilliam's films could qualify as Puzzle Films, but this one here is the greatest example. Plus, it has Bruce Willis. There are some brilliant intricacies to Twelve Monkeys that will be..."

Doctor Scops Doll Series - Strangedolls by Beth Robinson

1 recommendation

"Beth Robinson of strangedolls.net custom makes a number of strange dolls but I believe the series featuring the good doc here is my favorite. Besides the freaky balance between suggestion of and direct attention to detail, I also like that her dolls look like they've just stepped out of a penny dreadful illustration and are now considering eating your face. This particular Doctor Scops, now ..."

Chris Maker - La Jetee: cine-roman

1 recommendation

"More than any other film Chris Maker's "La Jetee" influenced my way of viewing cinema, as well as my way of creating art. I think of this book of images from "La Jetee" is a treasure. About this book: "This book version of La Jetée is, to my mind, astonishingly beautiful. It brings a total freshness to the work and a new way to use photos to deal with dramatic events. Not a film's book, but a b..."

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

6 recommendations

"Fear? None. Loathing? Not with Johnny Depp around! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! Well that's if you can remember it! This film about infamous sports writer Hunter S. Thompson and his long time good friend and Attorney is a trip to say the least! Watch as they feast on drugs and booze corrupting nurses and hotel staff along the way! You'll never party like this again!"

Lost in La Mancha

1 recommendation

"I like director Terry Gilliam (Adventures of Baron Munchausen/ Twelve Monkeys/ Time Bandits). I have faith in him. He's an eccentric visionary. Some people say he's cursed. With nearly every film, some uncanny occurrance almost brings him to a halt. (Heath Ledger died during the making of his latest film) Lost in La Mancha is a documentary of a Terry Gilliam movie that was shot but we will never s..."

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

1 recommendation

"Its funny how a movie can be great but considered a failure because it didn't bring in enough money at the box office. Such was the case with Terry Gilliam's fantasy film Baron Munchausen. This was a wonderful movie that I enjoyed as a child and still holds up as a spectacular movie today."

Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Trailer

1 recommendation

"Great director, a great cast, great story. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day. It tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the im..."
