- 12 Monkeys is a Terry Gilliam time travel film that is well respected. But is it a classic? Should it be something we put on lists of the great time travel films that have ever been made? What makes this film special?
In this video we take a look back at a film that wrestles with some big ideas about free will, fate, and if we as humanity have a say in what ultimately happens to us.
Living In The Past is a channel about revisiting pop culture from the past. Hosted by Jeremy Scott and Devin Kleffer (along with Carl the Intern), these two (three) friends can’t help but revisit the movies and TV shows that they loved from their younger years. Come along and get a little nostalgic with us as we look back, enjoy, and ask the important question: is it still OK to like this stuff?

What do you think? Is 12 Monkeys one of the best time travel movies? What would you put on the list of best ever?
I generally don't like time travel stories (causality loops and all that) but I've always found this one interesting enough in other ways. The perils of trying to intervene based on limited data and incorrect assumptions is an oft-forgotten lesson.
I've never heard of the Cassandra syndrome before but that definitely encapsulates that movie. I sadly do think we're living in that situation right now I'm really worried about my kids future. I love Gilliam's visuals of the future too he's so unique.
I always recommend it. Bruce basically loved the script and agreed to work for peanuts on it.
I'm not normally a fan of time travel in films. But this is the exception, what an amazing film. Willis at his best and Brad Pitt is awesome as well. Great review man
I enjoyed the movie immensely. The SyFy channel did a very good series based on the movie. The first season is fantastic. The last two seasons are good and worth watching, but they don't reach the heights of the first. It doesn't have the Gilliam quirkiness of the movie, but it is a solid adaptation.
Also there's a time travel film with Ethan Hawke that's worth a watch it's seriously messed up. Called something like Transcendental
This is a damn good movie. You gotta watch Brazil…it’s Gilliam. That’ll challenge you.
My girlfriend said it is a movie about love.
Movies make much better time travel stories than TV series. They have to have a more direct plot and are less likely to write themselves into a corner
