I quite like "A fish called Wanda". "clockwise" is also quite funny in a drab, '80s way.
AVOID "fierce creatures" however. it is Officially Shit.

i have to see the fish called wanda if it's a cleese film. as a member of the monty python flying circus he is the God.

he wrote it and plays the main character.
it's more a mainstream comedy though, has little to do with Python (comedywise).

oh yeah, i've seen fish called wanda - a classic - and, it's supposed sequel, fierce creatures - not a classic.
i saw clockwise in a shop earlier today, and that's actually what sparked off my uncontrollable craving.

Kevin Kline owned that movie. "Don't call me stupid" I like Palin as well.

yeah, i watched that the other day - classic python.
it's a shame that they changed so much of particular scenes, in order for them to fit into the film. the dead parrot sketch misses 'notlob'.

he's in Rat Race as well, which I think is one of the funniest comedy films of the last decade. All the big names (Seth Green, Whoopie Goldberg, that fat dude from Jurrasic Park with the glasses) are on top form and its definately worth seeing for a fan of Cleese, although hee isn't really that funny in it.
Just steer clear from 'Die Another Day', he's not really a very funny Q.

to be fair to him, starring as Q must give him a fat pension.
