Don Quixote is dead. There was a film made of the making of Don Quixote called Lost in La Mancha. It is a document that shows Murphy's Law at its best.
I've been a fan of Gilliam since I saw Brazil when it first came out. I had seen some of his earlier works with the Python's and Time Bandits prior to Brazil but had no clue who the director was (I was young... ).
After seeing Brazil my way of looking at films changed. It was an eye opening experience to say the least. Brazil and, believe it or not, Raiders of the Lost Ark were the two films that sparked me to work in the film business.
BTW if you liked City of Lost Children rent Delicatessen, Caro and Jeunet's early film. Mind blowingly odd. You should also have a look at some of the following films:
Pretty much anything by Luis Benuel (start with Un chien andalou and work up his filmography form there)
El Topo by Alejandro Jodorowsky
The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky
