Lost in La Mancha made me realize something... Terry Gilliam can't really make movies. He can come up with really captivating ideas and he can run them into the ground through self-destructive madness. I would put Gilliam in the same bin as Herzog in terms of sheer madness when making films. The sad thing is that Gilliam doesn't have nearly as many successes. In short, watch this movie. It is a great view into his life and mind.
