Watched Gilliam's "Time Bandits" for the first time in about a decade.
It's not my favorite Gilliam film, but I noticed while watching it how many of the memorable moments and visuals were obviously taken as inspiration by lesser filmmakers who rehashed the scenes for their own fantasy movie forays. Gilliam himself essentially remade it beat-for-beat for The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, which is almost the same exact movie. I think I like Munchausen more though.
