I would like to put my name in for The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, with a total budget of $46.63 million and box office takings of $8,083,123. I'm a big Gilliam fan and this a Brazil are my favourite films of his (I dont want to do Brazil because there has already been a whole book written about that). This is the final part of Gilliam's 'Imagination Trilogy' and looks at how in old age how our life stories can become our tall tales and whether these versions are in not some way true. Its also a really interesting film visually with Gilliam's trademark wide lenses and imaginative designs.

Ok, to make mine official. Pitch:The Adventures of Baron Munchausen Budget:$46,630,000 Box office:$8,083,123 The first part of Terry Gilliam's Imagination Trilogy, Time Bandits did very well at the box office however the subsequent two films would not recapture this success. After Brazil lost money and caused huge disputes with studio executives there was some trepidation about Gilliam's next project. By completion The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was massively over-budget and those in the studio who weren't against Gilliam before production certainly were now. This resulted in a terrible release for the film which doomed it to failure at the box office. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is probably the least well remembered film of the trilogy with Time Bandits' success and Brazil's cult popularity and this is something that I think does the film a disservice. It is a comic, touching film that deals with how we reflect back on our lives and how our memories can be altered by imagination. I intend to show how well this film succeeds in capturing these themes and that it is not only an equal part of the trilogy but also a fitting and hopeful end to Terry Gilliam's investigation of the power of imagination.
