This is a movie that not enough people are familiar with. Hopefully with Jeff Bridge's career resurgence more people will be checking this movie out. I first saw this movie when I was 11 or 12 and it had just come out on video, and even as a little kid I knew that this was a special movie. It's a hard movie to really explain, but it's an engaging movie that will catch you off guard. It has a quirky story filled with eccentric characters that centers around the power of friendship and redemption. The Fisher King has an amazing ability to make you laugh out loud one minute, and another make you fight from having a tear in your eye. I honestly don't know whether you should call it a comedy or a drama, because it does both of those so well, while balancing shades of romance.
