That was such a bizarre movie. I watched it, some of it made sense.

Maybe you have to be bent a particular way?

I heartily second Brazil. In fact I’d put it a smidgeon ahead of Ice Pirates. It’s kind of a wry comic version of 1984, which in theory shouldn’t work, but it does. I love Robert DeNiro as the outlaw air conditioner repairman. He tweaks the government by fixing peoples’ A/C units in the dark of night before the incompetent government repairmen can get to them, and as a result he’s on the government’s Most Wanted list. I think Brazil won a couple of Oscars back in ‘87 or whenever it was that it was made.
