The Adventures of Baron Munchausen: 20th Anniversary Edition (2008)

Terry Gilliam's infamously cursed fable The Adventures of Baron Munchausen about a story-spinning nobleman was shut down mid-shoot and bombed at the box office.

EXTRAS Four deleted scenes; storyboards of never-shot (and often expensive-looking) sequences accompanied by script readings from Gilliam and co-writer Charles McKeown; a convivial commentary featuring the same pair; an excellent doc in which the principals recall the troubled production.
