1989: THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN Starring: John Neville, Eric Idle
Co-starring: Alison Steadman, Uma Thurman
Director: Terry Gilliam

A wild, wild version of the stories of Baron Munchausen, breathtaking special effects go hand in hand with Gilliam's outlandishly funny and far-out ideas to bring us such sights as a horse divided in half and running around in two parts, and a giant Robin Williams, appears in a cameo (King of the Moon), credited as Ray D. Tutto, with his head flying off his shoulders. In the story, the Baron sets sail in a hot air balloon with the help of the strongest man on Earth, the fastest man alive, a man who can see farther than a telescope, and one who can blow harder than a hurricane to save a city against a Turkish sultan's superior forces. A visual 12-course banquet. The film cost $50 million to make, and received Academy Award nominations for best art direction aside from two others.
