As an actor, I have always said that I will honor the performers and never leave a film no matter how bad it may be. I paid for it and this is my lesson, so to speak. (As a performer, I learn just as much from a bad one as from a good one.) So, with that in mind, here is one of my all time favorite movies. (Defined as one that I have watched many times and will do so whenever I get the chance)

I cannot stress how amazing this film is. Ridley Scott created a masterpiece that stands across genres. And, that cast!

Okay one more...

Classic Gilliam.

Now, as I said... I swore I would never leave a film. However, there was one that I almost left... it was damned close...
