Regardless of whether you like his films (and I do), Terry Gilliam is a hero of filmmaking and creative expression.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and the Fisher king are two of my favorites from him. 12 Monkeys and Fear and loathing are also incredible. Saw those both in the theater when they came out. His style is this great blend of low brow pop culture and real art. The dude makes fantastic pictures.

Brilliant man… I admire his wild imagination and artistic skills… he no longer considers himself an American, he moved to England decades ago!

I love how his movies all have great posters. Just looking up Terry Gilliam movies and looking at all of them you can tell he’s a special director

Gilliam is brilliant and original. We need that desperately now days, in the world of ripoffs.

The Fisher King, for me, is up there with his best.

When it comes to personality and spirit.... no one can challenge Terry Gilliam

An American genius filmmaker, loved everywhere except America. A man who lives what he morally believes.

Time and budget aren't big enough for Gilliam but even the little we witness is brillant

Dick Cavett is such a babe. ❤️🍀

Great little moment

Living in London, Terry Gilliam, like Stanley Kubrick, has found a place as far away as possible from Hollywood as one could get...

I love the movie Brazil

"I made a little film called Brazil" proceeds to be a 4 hour long sprawling dystopic epic. I'd be curious to see what he considers a 'big' film

Fear and Loathing in Tinseltown...

For any cinematographer, every Gilliam film is required watching; for almost every Hollywood blockbuster, they are immediately forgettable.

Truth! When Brazil was released in the US, my older brother said it's playing at a small theatre in Berkeley. So we went. Like most Gilliam films...I loved it! It's like how early Japanese anime was castigated into the midnight movie or Creature Features or the "independent" rascals of film. And Hollywood hated it! Terry Gilliam fought the dungeon boss Hollywood. It's not unlike a businessman rocking the boat of lifelong US politicians by becoming President.

Holy cow !. The things he was saying about Hollywood are a lot worse now....Some. Not all. They are so easily assimilated over time. Manipulated ....

Better now than ever.

Well the way I see it most creative people like him get bored doing the same thing over and over. Thus, unlike a person that is motivated by greed or fame, rather than artistic satisfaction, he doesn't say oh that particular movie did really well, lets do another just like it. Instead, I'm sure tons of executives approach him wanting him to do similar movies (that were successes) that are more commercially viable, and he says no.

Yeah - tend to agree that Brazil is overrated. I think because of the controversy over how it was tampered with by the studio - that's where all the hype and praise mostly comes from. I actually think 12 monkeys is his best film.

have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like these.

I just read what he said as I missed it. I do feel he expressed his points quite poorly as he didn't come across as clear as he should have. How I took it though is I think what he meant was more in line with that it's a Marvel movie. Marvel movies have usually followed a very strict formula that works because of it. It's easy to guess what's going to happen and you know you're in for a safe controlled experience. For someone like him Marvel movies feel like the antithesis of what he tries to do in his work of doing a different experience every time out. You never know what you're going to get. You see it a lot with Star Wars these days. Just because they have stormtroopers and x-wings all of the time now doesn't automatically make it Star Wars. These things were very personal for George Lucas who created it but now they're being used in a way that takes away the original intentions. So the artistic merit behind it is loss. It's like what Martin Scorsese said but Terry explained worse. That all said I do think on a personal level what Black Panther set out to do was a good thing. It's one of the few Marvel movies I feel that had a more noble intention than the rest. It's very important to give everyone a chance to tell their story. Black stories need to be told just like everyone else's. Especially black superhero stories as while there have been ones in the past the genre has been more dominated on the big screen by white people. There's no way around that. I can see why Terry would take issue since it seems to be more so issues with Marvel as a whole and how it's been used to take artistic vision out of the equation. It's rare to see it used any differently these days. I think sometimes you have to take a work for what it is and not necessarily group them all together. Not all Marvel movies will be the same and I think Black Panther is one of the few exceptions. Maybe one of only two others. It's so great it gave a geninue platform and will inspire young black boys and girls. This compared to stories that replace different races instead of giving stories like a Black Panther or Spike Lee film the platform are day and night different. Every story deserves to be told regardless of race and why sincerity is so important.
