Bandits

ComedyCrime

Directed by Barry Levinson

After escaping from prison, Joe and Terry go on a crime spree, robbing banks through Oregon and California in order to finance their scheme for a new life south of the border. Unfortunately, things get more complicated when they meet Kate, who runs into them with her car. She joins the bandits on their cross-country spree, and eventually she steals something, too: their hearts. From TMDB

    Today's film was Time Bandits (1981). A really fun and anarchic kids film. I would have loved this when I was young.

    WILDWOOD: MAGNIFICENT. An incredible fantasy experience, on par with TIME BANDITS and THE LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy. Not even kidding. One of the finest stop-motion animation films ever made. I don’t know how they did half the things they did. Laika has given us pure magic. What a gift. BEST FILM.

    Now that I’ve finished “D.C. Cab”, and enjoyed it, I’m watching one more I knew of, but never saw in the #80s! “Time Bandits” was a movie I was aware of for decades, but never managed to see it.

    TIL that David Rappaport was originally going to play Fajo in Star Trek TNG but was unable to because he was a casualty of depression.. It's a shame too because I kinda think he was a better actor than who they ended up with.. I love him in the Terry Gilliam film, Time Bandits!

    Shelley Duvall would be enshrined in the hallowed halls of genre film history if only for Wendy Torrance, but she's a warm presence in Frankenweenie, a fun player in the Time Bandits ensemble, and is arguably the greatest comic-to-life casting ever in Popeye. RIP. An eternal icon.

    George is one of the best songwriters of all time. Better than the other two, and I will die on that hill. He also produced Monty Python Life of Brian, Time Bandits, and Withnail and I. I still wouldn't watch a movie about him unless it was about the Python years.

    Time Bandits. Not any of the peril or threat or sinister villainy through the rest of the movie. Just the bit at the end where - SPOILER - the kid's mum and dad touch the remaining evil and explode. So sudden, so random. So unresolved. This kept me awake at night.

    I'm not sure we celebrate the "This is a bad movie, but it gave me something very important and I will always love it for that" films enough. Like, I had an ex who loved the movies Bandits and Y Tu Mamá También (for the reason you think) and while one of those isn't bad it is kind of niche.

    Time Bandits wasn’t the greatest movie, but David Warner’s performance as Evil was a real show stealer. Basically Satan as a petty, promotion-denied bureaucrat who was both laughably pathetic and capable of genuine menace.

    Ultima 2 involved a 'slay the evil sorceress' plot, and time travel via gates. So - since it was in theaters at the time - Garriott and his entire team spent a day watching 'Time Bandits', trying to catch every possible glimpse of the time map in the movie, to assemble it to help them get map ideas.

    Watched Time Bandits right around the time a neighbour's house burned down. That messed me up pretty good. And non-movie-related: the Hall Monsters in Coleco Venture. Between that and a couple of other reaons I was terrified of being alone and vulnerable in any unfamiliar room with only one exit.
