Javier Bardem is a great villian (2 more)
Return of the Aston Martin DB5
Great action scenes and chases
Bringing Bond up to date
A very good Bond indeed, better than the last, not sure about best ever though. Once again there is a bit more realism with this effort than most of the franchise, this time with cyber terrorism part of the main threat. There is plenty of action, references to many of the other Bond films, and some great acting as well. What's not to like?!?

Michael Imperioli recommended Brazil (1985) in Movies (curated)

1985 | Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi

"Terry Gilliam’s masterpiece proves he is the only true heir to Fellini (and Salvador Dalì as well). Brazil is over-the-top, terrifying, funny, and moving. A hilarious and violent dystopian tale of the future using elements of the past, it strangely seems more and more like our present. Terrorism, surveillance, cosmetic surgery, hacking, and authoritarian control: Gilliam’s prescience is astounding. Ian Holm turns in one of cinema’s great supporting roles as Mr. Kurtzman, Jonathan Pryce’s sniveling and cowardly boss. And it has one of the most crushing and haunting endings in movie history."
