In Reply to: I would add Brazil... posted by Mrs. Piggy on October 28, 2002 at 17:44:18:
It's brilliant...and there's that Metropolis influence again ;-)But I'm wondering, how "influential" Brazil really is??? Which movies are descended from it? (Excepting Gilliam's own, of course!) Dark City? What? I'm drawing a blank.
There's a difference between influential and significant.
The list of really GOOD sci-fi is depressingly short.
