The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen (1988)

A solid 80's Fantasy adventure, with the usual Gilliam strangeness and some fun practical effects. Also has a good cast including a young Uma Thurman and small role played by Oliver Reed (who you can never go wrong with). It may be a little messy but despite the apparent troubled production this film had. it still managed to provide a fun watch.

The Zero Theorem (2013)

The best film Terry Gilliam has done in years, Gilliam still manages to show his creativity, crafting a unique dystopian style world with great set design and camerawork mainly done with wide angle lenses (yes!). Also includes a fine performance from Christopher Waltz. It's far from perfect but serves a nice commentary on Modern technology as well as dealing with existence itself. All in all, a wonderful film.
