Andrew Weil recommended Brazil (1985) in Movies (curated)

1985 | Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi

"There’s no other film quite like it: an unsettling vision of a dystopic future, something like 1984 but with wildly funny touches, including one of Robert De Niro’s most unforgettable roles. A great ride."

I still recommend this book for people that enjoy near future stories with a healthy dose of sci-fi.

Hope for the Future
After seeing this movie, I am hoping that DC movies can get more of a chance to produce more movies based off of the famous characters.

4 players, but was our first game without knowing any starting rules so took longer than it will in future (2.5 hrs).


No 'live' pics sorry!
