I love Brazil, it was one of my personal picks from the list. I feel it, and 12 Monkeys, are peak Gilliam. It may not have aged as well as others, so I can't guarantee you'll like it (especially if you didn't first time around) but I'd definitely recommend a second watch.

Noted! I remember it being goofy British humor that didn’t resonate with me. I’ll put it on my list. Thanks!

Yeah, Brazil is a favorite of mine. I still flinch when I see chinadoll heads. Deff peak Gilliam. I think its a great mix of his dystopian future fever-dream, and witty sarcastic take on the modern world. And fwiw, he's not a goofy Britt, he's a goofy Minnesotian.

I'm a goofy Brit so don't take my word for it!
