You should see La Jetee, P-C. You may never mention 12 Monkeys again.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Back. To. The. Future. 2.
Hells yeah, dude.

Doubtful. I love both Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. But I wouldn't mind seeing the original short film some time.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
12 Monkeys, dude.
Dude indeed. First movie I ever liked Brad Pitt in.
And I've seen La Jetée. It's possible to like both -- they're very different critters.
Also (if we're listing time travel movies without time in the title that don't suck), Terminator and T2.

Ah, point. And granted, T3 had a pretty ballsy ending, but it wasn't as great.
I'm really anxious to see The Butterfly Effect, despite its apparent suckage.
Oh. Technically, Army of Darkness is a time travel adventure, though it really doesn't count since it doesn't have any time travel fun.
Ooh, now I've got the freaky 12 Monkeys theme in my head.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
In the end, I really liked T3. I was surprised to, and sometimes when I think about the Terminator movies, I kind of forget it exists, but it was good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hated T3.
Bill and Ted!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I can't cope with the conundrum presented by time travel.
In T2, for instance, clearly for the Arnold Terminator (we'll call him "Gov. Terminator") to be sent to the present day, John Connor sent him. But wait! Gov. Terminator is sent to keep John Connor from getting killed. But in order to send Gov. Terminator back, John Connor had to have survived to adulthood at some point in the timeline, so then there would be no need to send him back to fight Robert Patrick Terminator (who, even though I'm finished with my example, will be known as Hottie Terminator).
It makes my head hurt.

12 Monkeys
Of COURSE!
Gilliam. Genius? Mad Man? BOTH! (Lost in La Mancha was terrific, warts and all.)
I'm afraid of Butterfly Effect You go first. I'll be right behind ya.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
As a joke, I referred to 12 Monkeys as 12 Angry Monkeys. Now whenever I think of the movie that's the first thing that comes to mind, and I have to remind myself that's not the title.
And I've seen La Jetée. It's possible to like both -- they're very different critters.
La Jetée isn't a movie, it's a slide show! But it's still good.

Sure. Because he sent GT back.
