THE BOOK OF ELI--Take your bible reference book with you; you're gonna need it. This movie struck me as A Fistful of Dollars meets The Greatest Story Ever Told. Lots of gore. Lots of biblical readings. I enjoyed it a lot. Trick ending, I think. You tell me.
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnasus--Heath Ledger's last movie; Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law fill in the parts Heath didn't finish due to his death. Terry Gilliam makes it all work. Better than Baron Munchhausen but not as good as Brazil. Strictly for Monty Python fans. Like me.

I like Brazil, but his best work is Monty Python and the Holy Grail, IMHO.
