60 of 214 · most liked firstToday is the 35th anniversary of my professional writing debut, as the film critic for the Fresno Bee newspaper. To celebrate, I've posted the first two reviews I wrote, for the Goldie Hawn thriller "Deceived" and the Terry Gilliam masterpiece "The Fisher King." whatever.scalzi.com/2026/09/27/a...
positive · AI labelView post →#FilmHistory On this day 1991, Terry Gilliams's The Fisher King was released, giving us one of cinema's finest double acts. Jeff Bridges anchors the film in grounded, weary self-loathing, giving Robin Williams the room to swing fearlessly between radiant whimsy & devastating grief. Brilliant film.

Gilliam, interviews with cast and crew, a video essay featuring Jeff Bridges’s on-set photographs, deleted scenes, costume tests, and much more!
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Roger Pratt One of the very great cinematographers. Brazil is a stunning, disturbing &, at times, beautiful dystopian movie because of his images in tandem with Terry Gilliam’s fevered imagination.The other shots are from Batman, The Fisher King & 12 Monkeys. Brazil is on Disney+. It’s amazing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Not every movie Every movie after The Fisher King, for somewhat obvious reasons Which doesn't diminish the enormity of his efforts - its estimated he helped employ, at least temporarily, 1500 homeless people over his career! It's just also worth noting that he learned over time like everyone else

neutral · AI labelView post →#FilmHistory On this day, 1991, a truly remarkable film was released, Terry Gilliam's THE FISHER KING, starring Jeff Bridges & the great Robin Williams. For the legendary "waltzing commuter" scene, Gilliam was granted exclusive access to NYC's Grand Central Station. Massively under-appreciated.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Fisher King was a much better movie than the recognition it got.
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching THE FISHER KING (1991). Director: Terry Gilliam. Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams. While Williams got all the attention & Mercedes Ruehl won an Oscar, this is actually another of Bridges' great unheralded performances of the 90's. Rewatch. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 764
positive · AI labelView post →#MovieMadness Day 27: Movie with your favourite actor 'The Fisher King' (1991) Jeff Bridges What a career this man has had. Prolific but always chooses interesting material and diverse roles. Never seen him let the quality dip. Always good in everything.

The Fisher King is one I’ve meant to get to for a long time, but “The Parallax View” and “Treevenge” were ones I came to only through Letterboxd and the good people who use it; so cheers to you! #LetterboxdFriday #FilmSky 🎥 📽️

positive · AI labelView post →If I owned a movie theater, I would program a double feature of Joe Versus the Volcano and The Fisher King.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Fisher King is a big DNA movie for me. I saw it when I was probably 11 or 12 and it really imprinted on me, Richard LaGravenese’s style of writing in particular. I love how underneath all the heightened visuals and mythical stories are beautiful, simple love stories about lonely people.

neutral · AI labelView post →Carpenter might have built the modern slasher, but she built the modern Final Girl. She also produced THE FISHER KING, which is the best Robin Williams movie *and* the best Terry Gilliam movie. We miss you.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching “The Fisher King” for the first time in decades. This Terry Gilliam film features a poster from “Brazil” in a video store. Nice!
positive · AI labelView post →Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? A mixed bag this week. Watched The Fisher King all the way through for the first time in ages and it's still really good. Monsters Inc. also holds up. Hannibal Rising and Scary Movie 2? No. Not at all really. #Letterboxd
positive · AI labelView post →Have you watched The Fisher King. The film seems forgotten today, but Terry Gilliam directing Williams and Jeff Bridges, Amanda Plummer and Mercedes Ruehl who won an Oscar.
neutral · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #filmsky 📽 Excellent week. We Bury The Dead - good performances - fails to make up its mind on what type of zombie film it wants to be. A24’s Stop Making Sense restoration is mind blowing. • SHE CAME TO ME • THE FISHER KING • WE BURY THE DEAD • STOP MAKING SENSE

positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching the movie The Fisher King. This film is a goddamn masterpiece. It is perfect.

positive · AI labelView post →The Fisher King is a seriously underrated film. Williams was brilliant in that.
positive · AI labelView post →If you haven't seen the film, I recommend it. It should have been nominated for Best Picture. Jeff Bridges should have won the Best Actor Oscar for it - he was nominated. Exquisite performance. Arguably his best, next to "The Fisher King."
positive · AI labelView post →#JulyMovieChallenge Favourite Robin Williams film The Fisher King (1991) Not only a funny movie but a good representation of PTSD & schizophrenia
neutral · AI labelView post →The Fisher King is THE superior D&D movie. I will not be taking questions at this time.
positive · AI labelView post →I keep asking myself if The Fisher King is a Christmas film.
neutral · AI labelView post →This week I rewatched Terry Gilliam's THE FISHER KING, and holy God did it make my heart explode. It's a crazy movie with a simple premise: all of us matter. Robin Williams is a genius in this, but damn does Mercedes Ruehl steal the thing.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's film: The Fisher King
neutral · AI labelView post →The Fisher King proved Robin to be an Actor, not just a comedian in a movie. Incredible performance
positive · AI labelView post →Recently started buying Criterion Collection discs and I am hooked on them. Tonight we watched "The Fisher King" and it was so exciting to watch a movie that felt fresh, unique, and something I never would have found on a streaming service. Feel like I am reconnecting with my love of cinema.
positive · AI labelView post →i do think that The Fisher King is a better movie in some ways and I _like_ Brazil better, but i think that Twelve Monkeys is the one which stands up as an artwork
positive · AI labelView post →My last job was as a multi-faith dialogue consultant, so...they haven't made that movie. My current "job" is having a psychological disability so all of them that are even vaguely about that (excluding "The Fisher King," because that movie is a special vision of trauma from someone who had it).
neutral · AI labelView post →I sneaked into a screening of The Fisher King on its first run because I heard Harry Nilsson had a new song in the movie I was 14 and The Point was a very important album for me
neutral · AI labelView post →Op shop haul from a couple of days ago. Three comedy DVDs, plus the only #StarWars related film since the OG trilogy I enjoy. (The Fisher King is an all-time fave, that's the only Boosh-related DVD I didn't have, and while not up there with The Jerk, any classic Steve Martin is good for me.)

positive · AI labelView post →Was just reminded that Robin Williams left us 12 years ago yesterday. Strangely enough, I was just talking about one of my favourite movies of his, 'The Fisher King' with a friend. So, here's the whole thing if you want to watch a masterclass from an amazing cast 💕 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfcF...

positive · AI labelView post →Name your fav Jeff Bridges film You know what, I’m going to go with The Fisher King (1991). Close runner up: The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009). Both are flawed (TFK because of the presence of Robin Williams, TMWSAG because of its plot) but loveable

neutral · AI labelView post →The Fisher King, beyond all question. One of my favorite movies, period. Amazing cast, and Williams is both hilarious and heartbreaking. If he was going to win an Oscar, this really should have been the role he got it for.
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite Gilliam film is ‘The Fisher King’. Every actor is at the top of their game. Robin Williams was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar and Mercedes Ruehl won Best Supporting Actress. It’s a shame TCM didn’t show it tonight. The film and story is fantastic. #TCMParty #Brazil

neutral · AI labelView post →Just spent two hours talking about The Fisher King for the patreon, which is almost as long as the movie itself.
neutral · AI labelView post →Man this film’s portrayal of the Grail Quest is just nonsense. Too compressed. If you’re gonna do The Fisher King and the Grail Quest it’s gotta be its own film. Can’t be the last third of something else

positive · AI labelView post →Requiem for a Dream is probably #1 but I'll toss out a few that may get overlooked. The Fisher King is amazing and haunting. SLC Punk is very underrated. 90% of the movie is one way then takes a hard dark turn at the end that will stick with you. Matthew Lillard is amazing in it. Also, The Whale.
positive · AI labelView post →I think "The Fisher King" was the first time I saw one of his movies because I was in to Robin Williams. I don't even think that 9th grade me understood just WHY it was impactful, but it was probably the first time I really noticed that a film had been crafted by its director.
positive · AI labelView post →The Fisher King. Any film where someone can keep up with Robin Williams while living in Terry Gillian’s world….
positive · AI labelView post →Favorite role: The Fisher King, with Dead Again a very close 2nd. I love a Robin cameo. Favorite film: Dead Poets Society
positive · AI labelView post →I'm old-school so it's Adventures of Baron Munchausen for me. His bit as King of the Moon isn't terribly long but it's side-splittingly funny and so memorable. Honorable mention to his other Terry Gilliam movie, The Fisher King, where he gives an outstanding dramatic performance.
positive · AI labelView post →Favorite Robin film: The Fisher King Favorite Robin performance: One Hour Photo I also have an uncomplicated love for him in Dead Again, a movie I have a complicated love for.
