What are some movies that are still amazing, even if you watch it now? Think movies that don't have sexist or similarly awful jokes that have aged poorly, with special effects that are still wonderful, and characters you can still relate with. Movies old and new are equally awesome :D

    Army of Darkness out there with one of the best skeleton armies to this day. And you've got so many Terry Gilliam but no mention of Brazil?

    I just watched the whole Evil Dead series of films. The new ones are surprisingly good.

    I could spend hours writing my favorite movies and Gilliam would be near the top.

    They're possibly my favorite director, such wild stuff. Brazil is often one of the first movies I'll show new people as a way to check if they'll vibe with my sense of weird
