# 4 On My Top Ten List...


I first saw Brazil about four years ago. I'd heard of the film before, but had no idea what it was about. What piqued my interest was reading a review of Brazil in a book called: "Harlan Ellison's Watching." Harlan Ellison is a famous writer who wrote, among many other things, a movie review column. In his review for Brazil, Ellison raved about the film, calling it the best science fiction film he'd ever seen. Coming from such a revered author of the genre, I figured I'd better check it out. Well, I'll never forget the first time I saw Brazil. After the scene ended where Mr. Buttle (or was it Tuttle?) is arrested, I was literally clapping at the brilliance of the satire. By the end of the movie, it was already in my Top Ten favorite films of all time:

1. Jaws
2. An American Werewolf In London
3. The Empire Strikes Back
4. Brazil
5. The Avengers
6. Apocalypse Now: Redux
7. Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan
8. Kill Bill Vol. 2
9. Rocky 2
10. Inglourious Basterds

How about you?
