<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>12 Monkeys has always been one of my favorite movies but I realized recently that I'd never seen any of Terry Gilliam's other movies so I decided to rent these two.
Brazil is a movie about a dystopian future in which everything is hopelessly immersed in beaurocracy and Time Bandits is about a band of dwarves that steal a map of time from God and use it to travel to different periods and rob famous historical figures. The guy is really a genius. All the sets and props are so beautifully stylistic and surreal. I love it. I'd definitely recommend these movies for anyone with a penchant for the bizarre.</div>
