" First Viewing Viewing Date: June 8th Via: Amazon Prime Video Plot: An account of Baron Munchausen's supposed travels and fantastical experiences across late 18th-century Europe with his band of misfits. Rating: 7.9/10 Why Did I Watch It? This is one of Terry Gilliam's most iconic directorial efforts, and I always intended to watch it. After seeing one of my Letterboxd friends rate it, I decided to just rent it before I forget about it again."

"Re-watch - Dec. 2nd My daughter wanted to watch another movie after The Grinch, so I insisted we watch something non-Christmas-y and she chose this after I told her it's from the same people as Time Bandits. She wound up loving it, especially Eric Idle's character who made her laugh almost every time he spoke. I still dig the hell out of it as well."
