The Fisher King (1991)
5/5
In my own personal life, I'm a hopeless romantic. So The Fisher King is a film I go to once in a while to realize there are people out there who enjoy the same type of sappy romance as I do. But in all seriousness, it is such a beautiful film, and perhaps my go-to when it comes to Gilliam. As a romantic movie it may be my favorite romance movie, but as a rom-com it my be my second next to Annie Hall. I highly recommend this film for people with a soft heart.
