What's your favorite(s) Monty Python movie? - ZEFRANK.COM

LadyCrow · 02-05-2003, 08:32 PM

My favorites are (drumroll, please):

1. Life Of Brian
(on a side note, I've got a black & white poster of Graham Chapman from LOB, and it's where he opened up the shutters in the morning after doing the deed with his lady friend; he's holding his hand over his winky when he sees a huge crowd in the square below the window...)

2. Monty Python & The Quest for the Holy Grail
(easily one of the funniest movies of all time, of which many of us can attest to)

**********************
My least favorite:

Meaning Of Life
**********************

Question for the more knowledgeable MP fans: does Time Travelers & The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen (forgive any spelling errors there) officially count as a MP movie? I've never been able to figure that out.

Loving British humor is,

I just liked the Dead Parrot sketch...

holy grail / life of brian

i like the humor of Holy Grail better, but the songs in Life of Brian are great.. can't decide which one's best!

dickieC · 02-06-2003, 07:34 AM

Life of Brian. It's the most completely realised one.

Re: Time Bandits and Munchausen. No, these are Terry Gilliam films. John Cleese makes a brief appearance in the first, Eric Idle in the second. If you liked them, you should see Jabberwocky, which is not really meant as a comedy, more as a fantasy, and stars Palin. It was Gilliam's first effort as solo director.

A feature on the Holy Grail dvd is a version of 'Knights at the round table' remastered with Lego figures... most amusing!

Frieda · 02-06-2003, 12:14 PM

that is one disturbed website! but very cool! heh!

i have a confession to make-- i used to build these things too. i was very, very, VERY disturbed as a child. still am, but i can control it now. unless there's a viking bending over in front of me with everything body painted except for his bum.

Red Princess · 02-06-2003, 03:40 PM

i love legos, i have a whole bunch of the castle ones and when i get deeply stressed out i build stuff with them and then smash it all to bits. (when medication is not enough)

noxxville · 02-06-2003, 03:42 PM

I love the legodeath website. Been there before. That's one twisted person with too much time on their hands

lapietra · 02-06-2003, 08:20 PM

Oooo - I was hoping we could post Gilliam flicks too - since the MP movies are really part of his oeuvre (right?)

I do love "Holy Grail" - both the movie & the accompanying record (which I became way too familiar with in my teen years) but Gilliam's "Brazil" and "Time Bandits" are some of my favorite films of all time... I like to be disturbed and overwhelmed.

I'm wiping the dust off this old file - I love all their stuff: their movies, Fawlty Towers, Michael Palin's travel series and of course the Flying Circus which I bought, yes, the whole series. My two kids, bless them, also love the boyz. Did anyone get to see the Broadway show?
