Underrated I'm not sure. He divides, some love his work, some hate it. But one thing I'm sure of is that he will be recognized as one of the greatest filmmakers of all times as time will pass...

He's world famous.. How is he underated

@@mavis3916 I agree that he's underrated. He's not spoken of in the same breath as Scorsese, Bergman, Fellini, etc.

@@frankrogers2968 rightly so, tery gilliamsfilms are enjoyable and well loved by many but the directors you mentioned are masters in, the art of cinema, but he will be remembered so I don't think he's unappreciated in the history of cinema

@@mavis3916 I think Mr. Gilliam is a master. He's just not as appreciated as the other directors I mentioned.

I don't think I've hated many films more than I hated Stalag 17. The tone is so off (is it a comedy? an adventure? a realistic drama about prisoners of war? It's neither funny, suspenseful nor disturbing/touching), and the characters and acting are intolerable. :D I'm really surprised that it's generally so well received.

@@Doomsterlobster Yeah, everyone's got a film they hate, that is universally loved. No accounting for taste.

Couldn’t agree more. Check out Five Graves to Cairo!

The Mask? didn't make your list? really?

And that's why I ranked Billy Best Director of All Time years ago.

This was painful. Kermode forcing Gilliam to make choices was more important than the actual list.

@@JordiH69 Bob Hope used to show up at the Ralph’s in Toluca Lake in the middle of the day in a limousine, he would then walk around the store with the aid of a cart loudly singing. He’s never put anything in the cart. He’d finish the song and get back in the limousine. The Ralph’s employees were used to it. “That just Bob”. As if that weren't weird enough. Some customers were spending the day at my record store and went to Boston Market in Burbank. While standing in line, they noticed, much to their amazement that Bob was in line ahead of them. Surprised, they asked him "Hey, aren't you Bob Hope?" and Bob responded "Get away from me you fucking moron". Thanks for the memories Bob. Horrible person and was only ever funny when Bing Crosby got to humiliate him and not really even then.

i just recently rewatched it, after finding out there is a show, a tv show running into four seasons already. the movie is so good. really really excellent all round

Standout scene from a fantastic film. Love the Chinese restaurant bit too..👍

one of the best scenes ever filmed

Brazil was written in 1929, 19 years before Orwell wrote 1984.

@@grahamthompson2594 You mean the song, not the movie Brazil?

Brazil makes more sense as the information age matures into a total reality.

And Baron Munchausen has a powerful strain of Don Quixote.

@@starseed96 The song has absolutely nothing to do with the movie.

The ONLY problem I have with Brazil is the sound. It's really not very good. I know it's very picky of me but movies from the 60's have better sound effects than Brazil.

@@alanrogs3990 the visuals are awesome though.

@@felipedeornelas8054 I agree. It's a great film but I kinda wish they re-mix the sound.

@@alanrogs3990 I will pay more attention next time I watch it. My first time was actually just a couple of months ago.

@@felipedeornelas8054 It's not super horrible but (for example) the first explosion, the one with a woman pushing the stroller, the sound is way too shrill. Not a good sound at all for an explosion. No bass to it.

Here is a good discussion; would Python have been the phenom it became without Gilliam's strange twist of art and humor to offset the very British sketches the others performed?

Arrow Video releases are pretty incredible for the passionate collector. Along with the Criterion Collection, I've got several of each myself.

In Brando's 1979 Playboy interview, he told the story of what finally broke Kubrick. They'd been batting the script back and forth for weeks, and Kubrick finally said, "Marlon, what's this picture about?" and Brando was thinking, Now you're asking me?!? So he snapped back, "Stanley, it's about the $300,000 dollars I already paid Karl Malden to wait for us and not accept a different movie!" Kubrick says if that's what it's about, I'm in the wrong picture. He walks out. Brando is told by the producer that if he can't find another director in a week, the picture is dead. So Brando nominated himself and made the movie.

LOL - Thanks! That sounds like pure Brando to me! LOL

There were four screenwriters associated with One-Eyed Jacks. Two were officially credited. One was Guy Trosper who also wrote the screenplays for Birdman of Alcatraz and The Spy Who Came In from the Cold and the other was Calder Willingham, who also wrote Paths of Glory and The Graduate. The two uncredited writers were Rod Serling and Sam Peckinpah. Four A-list screenwriters.

Another story of a clown and the concentration camps was filmed and earned an Oscar for Roberto Benigni, in the film “Life Is Beautiful” (1998). I'm not saying they are the same film but the similarity can't be denied.

@@charlie-obrien Yes, I've seen it. I don't think he was actually a clown but I see your point. Jerry's film needs to be released. Maybe on some streaming service?

I wonder who owns the rights to this film? I am sure I've seen snippets of this film.

I have no clue why people think Jerry Lewis is good. He downright sucks.

@@andrewa9694 Apparently Lewis donated an unfinished copy to the Library of Congress just a few years ago, before his death in 2017. He said that it should not be screened until at least 2024, so we might see it sooner than we think!

For me, I loved the moments when the fairy appeared as I found all the blues and silvers so hypnotic. Also when the whale Tokyo Drifts into a bunch of rocks. It looks fantastic.

I'm not a film director either but I will always watch certain movies again and again to enjoy revisiting the craft of everyone involved. 8 1/2 is all about that craft...and is due another revisit!

@@davidsanderson5918 I tried 8 1/2 a couple of times over the years and I find La Dolce Vita MUCH more satisfying and memorable. Honestly, I find Fellini's Roma more haunting and memorable than 8 1/2, too.

It's kinda odd how they think. They (directors) all praise, as we viewers do as well, the best directors of all time, but when directors actually talk about their top 10 or favorite films, Kubrick, Chaplin, Tarkovsky, Kurosawa (yes I realize Seven Samurai was mentioned here), Leone..etc... are largely not talked about. Even today, many Directors hail Lars Von Trier as the best Director alive today, yet his films are rarely talked about further amongst the industry...

I was wondering the same thing, I only noticed it as I read the notepad.

After I read the inaugural AFI 100 I started a list that I abandoned at around 250. Growing up in a 'biz family' has repercussions.

Mine too. And honestly, it kinda puzzles me that people can have favorite films. I have like 20 favorite films all tied at number 1

@@rafaelandrade7627 Love it. That's my kind of math! Now, all we need is a scientist who is willing to prove the logic. ;)

Yeah, I especially liked the Gilliam movie where one of the pythons kept feeding the other python with an inordinate amount of food in that restaurant, to the point where he got so big that he ended up exploding. Sublime. Absolutely sublime.

Picnic at Hanging Rock is terrific, I’m so glad I stumbled on it. Great list!

@@unclvinny I got to see it in college on the big screen in one of those "Foreign Film Series" things that colleges do. Nice to see it big style. Like the movie River's Edge, Picnic at Hanging Rock seems to have layer after layer after layer of meaning; you can just keep digging down into it and discovering more.

Except you left ou Andrei Rublev. 😂

@@lpowers You mean Alexei Gherman's "Hard to be a God". :) Tarkovsky is obviously always "deft" and both Ivan's Childhood and Andrei Rublev are statements. But it is not until Solaris that he discovers his "thing" and then perfects it in Mirror, Stalker, and Nostalghia. The "personal" change he undergoes when making a film not in Russia (for Nostalghia) begins to affect his judgment in that movie, and he has completely lost his way for Sacrifice. this is my too-brief summary. Meanwhile, the "Russian medievalism" in Gherman's "Hard to be a Good" is utterly staggering. It's like the opposite of Tarkovsky and completely full of its own genius for that very reason. Khrustalyov, My Car! is super-really good too. Gherman was getting better and better as he went along. We're fortunate that Hard to be a God was completed.

always wondered who changed the sheets

It’s one of the few movies with a perfect ending!

Probably because this is not original content but obviously from a tv show. It’s not new and it can be found elsewhere.

The OP is noting that Paths of Glory is on the list, but there was no discussion of it. I'm guessing it was edited out.

@@talastra Yes!

Wtf can we do jack

It's shot so voluptuously for a "Western." And just out of balance, maybe, that keeps visual interest. I know the area they used and the light is spot on.

@@hugh-johnfleming289" It's shot so voluptuously for a "Western." " -your comment What the hell does that mean?

It's really the "top ten" that comes to mind. If Terry gave the interview a month later there would probably be quite a few changes. Isn't it interesting that most of the films' major players are no longer with us? No hurt feelings that way.

Why would anyone mention Wes Anderson in a top 10 ever?

Too recent, for one reason. Let's see if any of his movies stand the test of time.

Same here - and "Time Bandits" of course!

Absolutely. Bob Lemon and Denny McLain were two of baseball's best pitchers!

for Wilder,I'd take either Sunset Blvd. or Some Like it Hot.

I believe you mean "Lord of the Flies", and yes, that story and it's film version is an unnerving reveal of how close to the surface our inherent savagery lies and how quickly it can take us over.

You'd probably like Swept Away, since all your choices involve sweaty people on beaches, yelling at each other!

I actually Really appreciate Blade Runner 2049, even slightly more than the original. There Will Be Blood is one of my favorites as well, and Unforgiven is a given. I own all 4 I mentioned. My Top 10 are above,see if U recognize any of them. 😉

I think it's impossible to be carved in stone but off the top of my head: Citizen Kane Cinema Paradiso Dr. Strangelove Withnail and I Spirited Away Old Boy Big Lebowski Solaris (the Russian '72 movie) No Country for Old Men Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

What, none of the Police Academys?

Yep, there's a lot of speculation and long has been that it's mostly Kubrick's script, and after he and Brando parted ways the former didn't care about being credited. Also, Kubrick turned to Slim Pickens for "Dr. Strangelove" after his role in the Brando film. Kubrick indeed would have mad "The" Western as he made "The" film in other genres.

The story goes that when Kubrick was involved he and the production team had a meeting with Brando, who had a stop watch and gave each person a small time to say something each. When it came to Kubricks turn, “You know what Marlon. Go fuck yourself. And that was the end of that collaboration

Kubrick would have driven Brando nuts.

@@jamesanthony5681 😄😄😄2 obsessed guys doing a movie that would had given Scorsese and De Niro a run for their money 💰

@@Thespeedrap Scorcese and De Niro had more similarities than differences: Both New Yorkers, Italian, same age, good at what they did with mutual respect, and they understood each other. Their best movies together took place in NYC, a place they know so well. I don't see the same with Brando and Kubrick.

When he mentioned guilty pleasures, Evil Roy Slade was the first to come to mind. I have no business loving that movie as much as I do!

Arsenic and Old Lace is a top contender for funniest film of all time. For me, it's between that and Bringing Up Baby. (There are also some really good Finnish scewballs, but they're rather context-specific.) My go-to Kurosawa is Throne of Blood. The Seventh Seal might make it. The Great Beauty was an unexpected aesthetic epiphany that actually made me cry. Fallen Angels was my first Wong Kar-Wai (or indeed artsy film) experience as a teenager, and its escalator and night time city scenes left their mark. I'd also probably include some Fellini and Ettore Scola (La terrazza?), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf for capturing the tension of a chamber play. For the most memorable recent experience in theatre, Roy Andersson's About Endlessness really caught me off guard (probably wouldn't have had that impact at home, though). But yeah, it gets really difficult to compare between very different films. There's also the (predictable) best spaghetti westerns and Kubricks to consider; some musical (My Fair Lady); something like My Night at Maud's or Léon Morin, priest; Star Wars; Kieslowski's Three Colors; something from De Sica (Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is my favorite for star power, Bicycle Thieves the "objective" pick); The Third Man; The Lives of Others; There Will Be Blood; Columbus (the ultimate visual experience); and among lesser lights, Onibaba, Amadeus, Ida and Cold War, The Reader or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (must have some Kate Winslet), as well as something from Miyazaki, Almodóvar's and Bunuel. Stalker, Blade Runner, Children of Men, Manhattan as the obligatory Woody Allen (until you get so sick of his mannerisms that even the best ones start to seem stale). Etc. etc. And, if it qualifies, the second season of Heimat would probably be at the very top of my list.

I’d lose Clockwork Orange but raise you Paths of Glory

The French thought he was a comedic genius, a Chaplin, no?

I like your thinking. Alien is the hub of my wheel in this case, but Withnail and I are coming along for the ride. 🏆🇬🇧
