The top of my netflix queue

 

Now normally I don't have a lot of time for film.  However, after a recent discussion with Sophia Botha, I decided to make it a priority to watch Terry Gilliam's work of renown, Brazil as well as the Brad Pitt/Edward Norton film Fight Club.  I have yet to watch them, but both films have been put to the top of my queue on Netflix.  But as I don't have either of the films in my possession at the moment, I thought I'd ask my fellow conspirators for a comparative literary analysis of the films.

I only have a cursory understanding of the plots of each movie, and have no expectations about the films.  I'd love to see what you all have to say about the films.  I'll return to this thread after viewing the films to add my own thoughts.

I read the title of this thread and thought Royce Gracie was gonna fight Tyler Durden.

Though both are great films Brazil is the better of the two

 

All you really need to know about Brazil is....

 

Firstly its Terry Gilliam does 1984 set in a surreal retro-future which is bueacratic & corporatist

 

Secondly if you liked original series of the Prisoner you'll likely love this film
