Time Bandits

[FPSHOT]

I just saw a DVD of this movie at one of the Dutch large record stores for a wonderfull price of NLG 15,-- which is e.g $ 6.

Won't buy it though, other than the music I did not think much of it.

What George song does it include? "Dream Away" maybe?

It's been quite a while since I last saw "Time Bandits". I thought it was a pretty good movie. I can't remember what song of George's was played though.

Dream away is the closing song from that movie and it is another version than which is on Gone Troppo.

I really liked this movie when i was a kid, have not seen it in a long while.

Saw this movie for the first time a couple of days ago.
In 1981 they didn't have all the special effects stuff like they have now, but they certainly did a great job.

I think it's a pretty good movie images/icons/smile.gif

I taped this off the TV. I started to watch it but couldn't get into it at all. I felt very disloyal to George for not watching it. I don't think he had much to do with it though other than a fight with Terry Gilliam and of course bankrolling it. And yes, the song which is about how he felt about Gilliam. I do think they later kissed and made up. Having not seen it, I might be wrong, but I think it is a black comedy for kids.

[taxgirl]

O no, it's not a black comedy for kids.
I'm gonna let my son watch it (he wants it btw images/icons/smile.gif ) and see what he has to say..

I didn't really enjoy it either to be honest. It's not really my type of film. I know a lot of people who do like it though.

[bearkat77]

I got a copy on VHS a little while ago and it is a good funny film. My daughters have seen it and enjoyed it as well.

[onosideboards]

is that the one with the little people, or is that brazil? i get them confused. either way, both are crazy and wonderful.

[bearkat77]

Yes, "Time Bandits" is the one with the little people. They and a boy travel through time portals.

When I first saw the movie years ago, I really enjoyed it. I saw it again about 1 year ago and while I still liked it, it wasn't as good as I'd first remembered it. Some of the scenes were quite funny, but others were rather dis-jointed.

[Sentimentalist]

When I was little, this was one of my most favourite movies. And when I wath it now I still love it... especially the Robin Hood scene with John Cleese as Robin. I think I enjoy that one even more since discovering he based the character on Prince Charles. LOL!

[ShowTunes]

I haven't seen it in a long time, so I don't remember many of the details, but I do remember that I thought the ending was just terrible--pointlessly cruel and not funny at all.

All I can say is it beats the hell out of "Erik The Viking".
