You can consider this a two-week-late Easter's Ways Not To Die. I just saw this movie for the first time this week, can you believe it? I've seen bits and pieces over the years but this was the first time I've sat down and watched it from start to finish. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Now I must admit I haven't seen Life of Brian or The Meaning of Life either. Whoopsie! Which should I watch immediately next?

And yes, you fart in my general direction, I get it.

I have to say, I love "Holy Grail" as much as any grown up dork of a child (which is to say: a very lot), but I watched "Life of Brian" and found it kinda boring. So much so that I never ended up watching "Meaning of Life." Perhaps my Monty Python tastes were just decidedly medieval in nature.

Also, if "LOOK AT THE BONES!" isn't my favorite John Cleese moment of all time, it's at least top 5.

I second Joe but switch it around. Watched "Meaning of Life" but remember so little of it with the exception of never feeling inspired to see "Life of Brian".

And yet, my love of "Holy Grail" knows no bounds. I just got back from Europe and was quoting it all over the place walking around. Had already decided on a re-watch and your post has only hastened the viewing. Off to dig out my copy!
