Monty Python: Meaning of Life vs Holy Grail vs Life of Brian

[Batman1980]

Holy Grail wins for me, haven't seen Meaning of Life and hated Life of Brian.

Even the Pythons admitted "Meaning of Life" was a mistake, didn't have its main idea clarified, was too derailed by individual writers' contributions (the Crimison Assurance Company was supposed to be one 30-second scene), and badly edited by the studio (they originally wanted the Eric Idle waiter scene to play over the end credits).

...And if they hated it, who am I to question their judgment?

I love Grail and Brian but Meaning of Life introduced me to the Pythons. So for nostalgic reasons it goes to Meaning of Life. Some of the funniest set pieces in the history of film and who can argue with the song - Every ***** is Sacred.

And don't forget the sex education scene w/ John Cleese, where a bed pops out of the wall and he does the wife in front of the students in his classroom!

Holy Grail is by far the best.

One of my students asked me about this type of education in the UK, so I described this scene and the look on her face was incredible. And who can forget the birthing scene at the beginning or the fat man in the restaurant -

Bring me a bucket.

Holy Grail is by far my favorite Monty Python movie.

As writers and directors, they were disappointed in how disjointed and unfocused their own movie turned out, and I, as but one member of the audience, agreed.

I liked Holy Grail best as a movie, but the stoning scene in Brian was one of the funniest things they've done. As a movie though, I wasn't impressed with the rest of Brian. Meaning of Life had it's moments, but it wasn't close to Holy Grail.
