The Fisher King (1991)

I don’t get how a film with the sublime Robin Williams, and “The Dude” Jeff Bridges could fall under most people’s radar, but somehow, this Terry Gilliam film isn’t well known.

The sad part of it is, it should be. This is a beautiful comedy/drama about a radio shock jock who tries to find redemption by helping a man who’s life he’s ruined. The film garnered several Oscar nominations and wins, as well as several other awards, but it’s not something the majority of the film going crowd has seen.
