Life of Brian
Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he's not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement. Rife with Monty Python's signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian's life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.

Probably the most accurate representation ever of that time period. A genius film made by brilliant people. (all highly educated people) John Marwood Cleese I salute you!

This isn't Monty Python's best.
In fact, it's very ordinary humor for the most part.
The story of another man living a life parallel to Jesus could have been much funnier than this.
However, people who love "dry humor" may appreciate this one more. It isn't the slapstick humor that we usually ge More

A motion picture destined to offend nearly two thirds of the civilized world. And severely annoy the other third.
I First watched this while living at my friends house age about 15, I think his mum brought the video in and we all watched it, My mate and I absolutly loved it, so much so we rewound More
