oh and would you guys recommend 12 Monkeys or Brazil to someone whose Gilliam experience has been solely Monty Python?

Sans Soliel is maybe even easier to watch but then the starkness of La Jetee is more preferable to those of a pessimistic inclination!
As for Gilliam. Time Bandits is probably the best stop gap between Python and his solo work and if you can get on with that then delve into his other works.
Brazil is a beast best tackled with a clear mind and a couple of hours to spare though! Maybe follow Time Bandits with The Fisher King and go from there even though he made films inbetween, they are a good barometer of his (dare I say it?) commercial leanings.
