every scene is so...COZY.. I have been watching it regularly for YEARS, and I realized that I felt that way.. it kind of hit me while watching one night.. it was the Napoleon theatre scene...it just HIT ME.. "wow..Gilliam really makes me feel surrounded by the set & the characters and the props.." just AMAZING
Amen. If you ever watch a film called Yellowbeard, it was made by a lot of the pythons, but without Terry directing. It doesn't have that warm feeling of place that their previous films had. He was intrinsic to the python's film success, imo.
I remember seeing this when it first came out on a probably illegal video on VHS as it was a friends house and we were all up late doing all sorts of things, as soon as it finished i watched the whole thing through again, then, as now, it resonated with me and i just knew this film was special, it was, still is, and always will be......................
I do concur with Terry & Michael....part of 'Time Bandits' appeal is just the amazing juxtaposition of different historical epochs so seamlessly blended together (which ultimately culminates in the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness)!!
I remember my dad trying to make sense of the movie he felt was so weird and made no sense. Especially the ending, which made me laugh til I fell over Mom Dad Don't touch it it's evil so they do. Such dark humour and the kind of movie point that Hollywood itself would never made for an ending.
Return what you have stolen from me! Saw this movie at the cinema, I was very young, the flying head of the supreme being is a brilliant character, very original movie, there’s nothing like it.
3:20 - if Palin's job was to know all the short people in history, he kind of failed. Napoleon mentions Charlemagne as a 5-footer, while he was well known to be of a tall stature, some estimates are just short of 2 meters.
Remake: Evil--Gary Oldman Supreme Being-- David Warner Dad--Craig Warnock 3 male & 3 female bandits Go to completely different points in history from the original.
No!!!! Leave this movie alone!!!! Don't let Hollywood, or Disney for the matter, get their grubby hands on the rights to this film!!! It's perfect just the way it is!!!!
This is my favorite movie of all-time...and it isn't even close.
I might have to agree..
It's always been my favorite film. Just a perfect blend of wonder and imagination couched in Python humor. It's my warm blanket movie.

A film that can not be unmade. It is ALL POWERFUL! Untouchable. Perfect English humor. All involved are immortalized.
Possibly my favorite all time movie.

>>That is what I like, little things hitting each other!
Terry Gilliam has made some incredible fantasy movies
Aaaw David Warner ☺️☺️☺️
THE SPIDERWOMEN!!! That would’ve been AWESOME!!
As good a film as a film can be.

I WANT THAT MAP! Someone call Side Show Collectibles and get those guys on the ball!

7:37 "the Spider Women, which we couldn't afford to film"? 8:19 "The Future bit, which never got filmed"?
Time Bandits was made in 1981. The kid would have been in his thirties when they made the Harry Potter movies.
He played Paegan Smith in the "Instant Star" TV series.
👏👏👏😘

A character called “horseflesh” is mentioned in the film….even mentioned in the credits. But who is it???
Napoleon was not short, though.
small part to the whole, no puns intended.
They should remake it with all the scenes they couldn't afford before added.
fascinating movie. today would cost 200M USD and be all crappy cgi. Gilliam= (insert Cleese' s voice as Basil Fawlty here) ...Brilliant.

Remake:
Evil--Gary Oldman
Supreme Being-- David Warner
Dad--Craig Warnock
3 male & 3 female bandits
Go to completely different points in history from the original.
Nope. Why male and female bandits?
No!!!! Leave this movie alone!!!! Don't let Hollywood, or Disney for the matter, get their grubby hands on the rights to this film!!!
It's perfect just the way it is!!!!
A remake would ruin this film! It’s a Perfect Film.
@@BushyHairedStranger sequel then
Because women exist and are part of the world and the world has come to accept that?
How did Gilliam ever put up with the British Python crew? Palin gets on my nerves as do most of the others.

The DVD comes with a small version of the map.
