      I loved Time Bandits! Being about the same age as the lead it resonated very deeply with me.

        Best part of the movie.
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            Sorry, wasn't a big fan. and then my friend made me go see it a second time. i was planning on skipping it and seeing Carbon Copy instead, but for some reason my friend bought my ticket to Time Bandits before i could buy the other, so i had to watch it again. I never have seen Carbon Copy.

              I do still like this movie. Lots of good stuff in there, and a great performance by David Warner.

              I remember reading the Marvel adaptation first before seeing it.

                Time Bandits is fantastic, everything about it is great.

                It's also the only Titanic movie people need to watch.

                  Hmmmm....

                  Great film. LIke a lot of Gilliam's stuff it kinda inhabits a place of it's own. There isn't anything you can compare it to.... except maybe "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen." which is, of course another of his films.

                        Can't remember it now though
                        The movie Time Bandits was made by Handmade Films, which was owned by Harrison.

                            I think it's underrated as a movie.

                              I remember seeing it in the theater with the family. We really enjoyed it. My dad got a kick out of the Sean Connery cameo.

                                Just added it to my Netflix instant queue. Might be able to watch it sometime this week.
