I'm calling it a good movie. Anyone want  to discuss it?

The director is actually from the USA.

One of my friend's wife's mentioned she loved Terry Gilliam's stuff, so I bought her a copy of Time Bandits. Little did I know she had a crippling fear of short people.

It's a strange movie, but it's a very enjoyable one.  No description really does it justice.

I LOVED The Time Bandits when I was a kid. Used to imagine that a bunch of British dwarves were using my room as their interdimensional gateway. I haven't seen it for at least 30 years, so I don't remember too much of it, apart from Evil saying that God made weird choices like 'nipples for men', and the Bandits singing Me And My Shadow. I also have the novelization.

I have it on DVD, will check back in after I've watched it. I might be very disappointed, or I'll have a wonderful time remembering my childhood. Wish me luck!

I haven't seen it in dog years, but I remember liking it a lot as a kid. I know I saw it several times when it was making the cable-TV rounds in the early 80s. I even had the Marvel Comics adaptation!

Now that I think about it, "Time Bandits" was most likely my introduction to some of Monty Python's major players (Gilliam, Cleese, Palin).

Mine too! Saw it in the theater when I was 12 or 13.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
