"Brazil" is one of those movies that has been on my to-watch list forEVER, but for some reason whenever the opportunity arises, i always miss it.. Just recently it was airing on TV ONTARIO Saturday Night at the Movies, and once again i missed it :\

You know, I saw this because everyone always says you have to see it, and I didn't think it was very good. It has that cold '80s feel to it. But I enjoyed when DeNiro appeared, not knowing he was in it, because it seemed so offbeat. The shot where he ziplines out struck me as pretty lol.

it is very good in many ways that i do not recall in detail anymore. yukio mishima has an interesting story and to me the film did something no biopic has since done, it really made a life into a film. highly recommended.

One of those movies that few people have ever worked up the nerve to sit all the way through. I'd like to see it at some point, but nine hours would be a drag even if it was about sunshine and swing dancing.

Haven't seen this one yet. The other year when they aired that awesome "Spielberg on Spielberg" documentary, I was inspired to track down all of his movies on DVD, even the bad ones. Managed to get most of the ones I didn't already own at some cheap prices, but The Color Purple was still like 30 bucks in most places, which was way more than I want to pay for an SS film I'm not looking forward to much.
