Saucepan Man - Great choices, as Terry Gilliam is a favorite of mine as well. Baron Von Munchausen flopped at the box office, but I loved it. Has anyone ever seen the animated fantasy film Wizards? It's from Ralph Bashki, (the creator of our beloved LOTR - The Unauthorized version.) Wizards is bizarre, and rather bloody, but I always kind of liked it.Also don't forget Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal, awful and intriguing at the same time. And for a real classic, the original live-action, 1933 version of Alice in Wonderland. As a kid that version seemed wonderful, but rather scary, since the costume were based on the original Edwardian illustrations, and were by no means "cute". If you have a chance to catch it on TV, by all means, watch it.
