#179 Twelve Monkeys (1995)

This is my second "12" based movie after #6 12 Angry Men. I think my favorite decade for film is the 90s. There are the most original ideas out of any. I wonder if there is a good reason for that. Moving on, this movie is one I need to watch again and I bet it would be better the second or third time it is watched. Bruce Willis may be known as an action star, he really puts together an interesting and solid performance in this very very unique film. Besides general time traveling, I have never seen anything quite like this movie before. I know I said that sci-fi movies become dated relatively quickly but with this movie there was so much more to it than just a dystopic future. There are layers upon layers in this movie. I don't want to say much more because I don't want to give away anything, but needless to say, this is a good one! It really makes you think and not just about the typical time traveling paradoxes. There is a lot more to it. I am also surprised that I didn't hear more about this when I was younger. Watch it.
