    Brazil - is still one of those movies if you consider yourself a movie nerd you have already seen Brazil. 1985 but even the movie nerds of the 1990's and early 2000's this was a must-watch (pre and early internet). The third act is still stellar 40ish years later. Sir Pryce puts on a masterclass in acting and I do not type this lightly.
