Directed by Terry Gilliam

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

The fantastic tale of a 17th century aristocrat, his talented henchmen and a little girl in their efforts to save a town from defeat by the Turks. Being swallowed by a giant sea-monster, a trip to the moon, a dance with Venus and an escape from the Grim Reaper are only some of the improbable adventures

http://imdb.com/title/tt0096764/

Directed by Terry Jones

Life of Brian

Irreverent satire of Biblical films and religious intolerance focuses on Brian, a Jew in Roman-occupied Judea. After joining up with an anti-Roman political organization, Brian is mistaken for a prophet, and becomes a reluctant Messiah.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0079470/


Erik the Viking

Erik the Viking ( Tim Robbins ) gathers warriors from his village and sets out on a dangerous journey to Valhalla, to ask the gods to end the Age of Ragnorok and allow his people to see sunlight again. A Pythonesque satire of Viking life.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0097289/

Gilliam and Jones both Directed Monty Python and the Holy Grail and The Meaning of Life. Probably already posted in this thread, but if not, check them out.

Plot Summary: Yellowbeard, a pirate's pirate, is allowed to escape from prison to lead the authorities to his treasure.

Porco Rosso (1992)

[url:c7d5d]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104652/combined[/url:c7d5d]


Directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the guy that did 'Spirited Away,'

About an italian post-ww1 fighter ace who has been cursed, and is forced to live with a pig's head instead of a human one. Fun movie, if you smoke - It's best to see it while you're buzzing out.... biggrin:

Stunning visuals, and really cool settings....

Vanya on 42nd Street (1994)

The movie is fantastic.
