Terry Gilliam, of Monty Python fame, directs Johnny Depp in his most exciting role, as the Gonzo journalist, Dr. Hunter S Thompson. The critics hated it when it came out in the theaters. They passed it of as "nonsense" and "totally lacking any cohesion." But we know better, don't we? If you're the type of person who digs a little deeper than most, and enjoys watching movies that aren't aimed at the masses, then this is for you. Ranks as one of the best movies I've ever seen.
