Topic: Best Monty Python Movie Posted: September 20 2006 at 18:54 |
My fav is the Holy Grail. I think Life of Brian is very funny (and so is the Meaning of Life), but TMOL is too... good looking. The special effects and filmography is great, but that takes away the charm of the Monty Python aura.

Life of Brian is so funny, smart and just flawless. Love all three immensly. Could have voted for The Meaning of Life too. Its just a bit less perfect. I think its look and scenography is phenomenal. The opening scenes are one of my esthetic favorites.

Meaning of Life takes it for me, mainly because of the scene where Death comes to a dinner party and blames them dying on the food and the hostess is so embarrased because she had americans over.

I’m going for the Holy Grail. Although, Life of Brian does have Always Look on the Bright Side of Life…

The Holy Grail. Life of Brian is also quite good, but I don't like The Meaning of Life at all.

Life of Brian - funniest film ever.
"Who threw that rock?"
"She did, she did" (high pitched voices)
"He did, he did" (low pitched voices)
Otters nose, anyone?

Holy Grail.
BTW: Jabberwocky is not only not a MP movie, but also less good than the 3 real MP movies IMO. But isn't there *one* other MP movie, which is basically a sequence of MPFC sketches and a few new ones?
