Best Monty Python movie?

I love all of them but The Life of Brian is the best by far. It is the most consistantly funny and it has the most interesting story. Meaning of life was a bit hit and miss but it was very good for the most part.

The Holy Grail, mainly because of the invincible Black Knight.

Life of Brian, then the Holy Grail trailed by a semi-distant Meaning of Life.

You forgot "And Now For Something Completely Different."

I wouldnt really call that a movie. More of a best of collection of sketches. Still a good one though.

Watching Life of brian again recently I realize that Graham Chapman was easiy the best actor of all the pythons. So sad that he died. He was fantastic. You should see the recent Monty Python documentary Almost the truth. I love that part in Life of brian when the aliens fly brian into space for no reason:lol:

I found Spamalot to be better then them all, but out of those Holy Grail would be my favorite.SaintLeonidas

I never got a chance to see that:P I do love Michael Palin's travel documentaries:D

I agree.

Bring me a shrubbery!:P:lol:

Bu bu-- it was released in cinemas.

Anyway, although it's only a bunch of the best sketches re-recorded for an American audience, the material is still better than the sketches in The Meaning of Life movie (for the most part.)

I would say in order of best: TLOB > THG > ANFSCD > TMOL.

[QUOTE="Im_single"] Always look on the bright side of life doo doo...heh. LOB is in my top 5 movies of all time and is perhaps the best comedy I have seen. All Monty Python movies are fantastic, but LOB is the best.Im_single

I like Chapman and Michael Palin the most. Palin seems like such a nice fellow. I read the Michael Palin diaries recently and it was great. They are all good in their own ways. Terry Gilliam may not have had many roles, heck most of his roles are the weird side characters. However as a director he has had the best career after Python.

Somewhat similar to the Mel Brooks conundrum involving Blazing Saddles & Young Frankenstein, initially I enjoyed the older more wacky Blazing Saddles but later learned to appreciate Young Frankenstein for its superior story and the tightness of the dialogue. When I was younger I was all over Holy Grail like you wouldn't believe. Any local theatre that was showing it I would be there as fast as humanly possible to catch a precious showing.

When Life of Brian was initially released in the theatres I was very glad to have a new film, but it just wasn't full of the wacky zany mad-cap scenarios I was used to. As I've watched both of them over the years however much like Young Frankenstein I've grown to appreciate Life of Brian for its superior story and the quality the line deliveries.

So Life of Brian for me.

Eric is one of the funniest guys of the group by far. People seem to underrated Terry Jones. I love how he plays women. All their careers after Python have been a bit hit and miss. Terry Jones hasn't done much major work recently. Palin keeps doing his awesome travel documentaries, Gilliam does his weird and wonderful films, Idle does his songs, Cleese is pretty much playing himself most of the time though I love Fawlty towers, and Graham Chapman hasn't done anything in years for some reason.

I certainly hope that's a joke! :P

The Life of Brian is a close second, and there are others that are deserving of mention.

BUT there is nothing like a rousing chorus of Brave Sir Robin

Brave Sir Robin ran away 
Bravely ran away, away
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled 
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin.

and on Home they had a Monty Python Special where you could buy either the  Sir Robin armour or the Black Knight  "It's Only a Scratch" armour.

along with some other really cool items.

The life of Brian.

The holy grail fell off at the end in my opinion.

The holy grail just for having a holy hand grenade,

honourable mentions to the spanish inquisition sketches love em

The Holy Grail, by leaps and bounds. raven_squad

Apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? They gave us the Life of Brian. Nuff said.

I have to go with The Life of Brian. I should re-watch The Meaning of Life because I haven't seen it in a while.Jazz_Fan

Oh fishy, fishy, fishy ... FISH!

Holy Grail is my most talked about one with friends and easily the funniest to me

Always look on the bright side of life...

Gonna go with The Holy Grail. Yes, Life of Brian is consistantly funny. But Holy Grail was the first of Monty Python I had ever seen.
