  • Life Of Brian (1979)

    Life Of Brian manages to go beyond mere satire and silliness and tell a story that has power of its own.

  • Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life (1983)
    Review preview for Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life

    In terms of comedy, belly laughs and unfortunate little accidents making a mess of the sofa, the Pythons has never been better.

    Overall, this is a silly romp through some of the best legends medieval Britain has to offer, intercut with some fabulously surreal animation.
