(excludes TV which means no Ripping Yarns, Fawlty Towers)
1) A Fish Called Wanda - at his best Cleese really worked hard on scripts and it paid off brilliantly which is why Fierce Creatures is so hard to understand
2) Brazil - Terry Gilliam's brilliant take on 1984 a reminder of what he once could do
3) Yellowbeard - look I haven't seen this since I was a kid but I loved it as a kid
4) Clockwise - a stressful movie in many ways but very well done
5) Nuns on the Run - funny drag comedy that was a big deal in Oz when released but seems to have been forgotten
6) The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - intense, wondrous, imaginative - I pick it over Time Bandits
7) Labyrinth - the script is too simple but it was a wondrous element to it
8) Personal Services - untypical film, very well done
9) The Missionary - naughty and sweet, like Michael Palin
10) A Private Function - another strong effort from Palin
