In my opinion this is the greatest film ever, with the greatest ending. Does anyone agree? Does anyone dislike the film, and if so then why? There was a poll recently where a load of film reviewers named the top 100 greatest films ever made. Unsurprisingly, the majority of films on there were big-budget Hollywood Box Office fodder, but I decided to have a scan through to see if the Life of Brian had made it through to the top 100 (I really didn't expect it to have done so). I was pleasantly surprised to see that it made it into the top 20 (I can't remember its precise position). In fact, I think it may have been the only British film in the top 20. It's an absolute diamond. If you haven't seen it, I urge you to watch it. Not only is it hilarious, it also says so much about mankind and seems to get better every time you watch it. |

||||||||

Yep Chris, that's the one. Meho: apparently it's out on DVD as a release in America (Region 1) by some company called Criterion, digitally remastered with loads of extra footage on a second DVD. It's supposed to be excellent. There's a British release (Region 2) which basically has no extras and is supposed to be really poor quality. I really want to get hold of that Region 1 copy!!!! |

Have a good gig Meho! |

I love that film, its so funny! bests bits- where he's in the prison with the old guy "oh, what i'd give to be spat on.." where they are queueing up to leave for the crucifiction "first time?" and one guy nearly gets away with it, and then the priest is fooled into taking the crucifix |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how shall we fuckoff oh lord. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Man, you're all Python fans! This is great! "Spare a sheckel for an old ex-leper" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHA!! all great scenes !! Bigus Dickus !!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also liked the bit where the women were all disguised as men with beards, queuing up to buy grit and stones to throw! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aside from it being one of the funniest movies aver i think it says a lot more about the christian religion and its failings than any biblical film ever made - mass hysteria - the nature of freedom fighting - following leaders - cross-culture interaction etc just look at the costunes, sets, the mood of the film......so real compared to the technicolor of the "ten commandments" etc. If i were studying socio-religious morals at the turn of the 1st millenium, this film would be worth close study. fuckig funny too!....(spike milligans scene is gold) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that's why it caused such a furore when it was released I remember seeing a clip of palin and gillian being slated on a tv show by a 'respected' director calling it garbage or something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Keyfumbler: which is Spike Milligan's scene? I didn't realise he was in it, ignoramus that I am. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and if it wasnt for old Georgie Harrison it wouldnt have been made. at the start where palin is with his wife, "One more word out of you and i'll take you the fuckin cleaners" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a great film ... but by no means the best film ever... its a very funny movie, with a lot behind it but thats it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dunno if you've seen 'the meaning of life' but I thought it was fuckin awful, I turned it on a few mins in and thought i'd got the wrong film.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My parents also said it says alot about the leftie climat in the 60's and 70's these different political groups arguing with each other even tho they fight for the same cause. They where comunists |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"They where comunists" my parents that is..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sido: yeah, all those "People's Front of Judea", "People's Popular Front of Judea", etc. B3n: I agree that The Meaning of Life is a bit ropey, but there are some classic moments, such as "Every Sperm is Sacred"! |
||||||||
|
|

spikes scene: the mob are arguing over the sandle and the gourd(?).....they follow brian into the desert and spike is the guy left gazing up to heaven on his own(thinking the rest are listening) and says something like "no,......let us.........pray.....for..."....he turns around and sees that they've all fecked off!....he walks away sheepishly...CLASSIC..because its totally ad-lib apparently. (he was holidaying at the time, saw the crew and they asked him to do something small) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahahahah!!! I love that scene!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ad-Lib ??? You mean he improvised? Its a brilliant scene. he even walks funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...and the hands!!!...perfik |
||||||||
|
|

I have the holy grail on vinyl which is well funny. It has loads of funny scenes as well as the gist of the story. Kid koala beat juggles up the camelot music in one of his mixes too. I think ther might even be a life of brian out ther somewhere. I should track it down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kellyfumbler: I totally agree. I think that (besides the sillyness "Are there any women here?")that what happens in that movie is probably more acurate about Jesus than what was written in the bible..... I got sucked into the "meaning of life" last night..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"that what happens in that movie is probably more acurate about Jesus than what was written in the bible..... " Yeah i have never thought of that. you are probably right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SWEET!!! great fucking movie! "Always look on the bright side of life...." I love those movies! |
||||||||
|
|

meaning of life - worst beginning |
||||||||
|
|

|

"... Obadiah, his servants. There shall in that time be rumours of things going astray, erm, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things wi-with the sort of raffier-work base, that has an attachment. At that time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer, and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock. Yea, it is written in the book of Cyril, that in that time..." rotflmao |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, the Holy Grail ending is such a cop-out! What's the story behind that - did they just exceed their budget? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHAHA !!! I love it too... especially tropa's quote from the "preaching wall" scene :)) and the Grafitti latin-lesson given to Brian ROMANUS EUNT DOMUS ???!!!!! these people called Romans they go the 'ouse ????? ...... ...... ROMANI ITE DOMUM !!!! Now, don't do it again !! Meaning of Life was excellent !!! Headmaster.>>... ".. two boys have been caught rubbing linseed oil into the school cormorant... and Jenkins, apparently your mother died today". MP are fucking ace !! :D |
||||||||
|
|

GRAHAM CHAPMAN IS BEST!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahem... WAS BEST |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cleese, probably. Especially after seeing Fawlty Towers. And Gilliam turned out to be a pretty good director, imho. Brazil and 12monkeys are some of the best films ou there... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Gilliam got some skillz. Terry Jones also wrote the book Eric The Viking. My father read that for me when i was little.(my name is Erik =) |
||||||||
|

*Eri(k) The Viking* not eri(c) |
