At one time, I had Matching Tie and Handkerchief on cassette. It always played the same shit.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Recently watched both Holy Grail and Life of Brian with a group of friends, further solidifying my opinion that while Holy Grail is a quite a bit funnier, Life of Brian is the overall better movie. I still love both though.

Yup I've always thought so. Much funnier. Life Of Brian is not bad but Holy Grail is just piss funny throughout.

plus the whole Biggus Dickus scene is just crap imo.

I love that scene. Watching those extras trying not to laugh is a clear highlight of that movie.

Obviously, just the words "Biggus Dickus" being naughty words isn't what's funny about that scene, so I don't know what point you're trying to make.

Indeed. Might be the finest example of completely missing the point I've ever witnessed.

As for me, Brian totally blows away HG, but that's largely just a matter of personal preference. Grail tended to rely on silliness too much. It's certainly got its brilliant moments, but mostly it's just over the top. Brian tended to be more dialogue driven.

Can we just agree that The Meaning Of Life is the worst of the 3 ?

I'm not included And Now For Something Completely Different - since it's not even a film.

Yeah, Meaning of Life is terrible. Except for Mr. Creosote.

And Every Sperm is Sacred.

And the Protestant couple that won't fuck.

And Mr. Death.

And Live Organ Transplants.

And The Galaxy Song.

And Cleese as the schoolmaster teaching sex ed.

There's no doubt it's the weakest of the three movies. The lack of a cohesive structure really hurts it and some of the bits aren't particularly good. At the same times it's hard to really bag on the film because there's a ton of great stuff in there. It gets panned because it's not a rehash of Holy Grail or as witty as Brian, but in the end it's still pretty entertaining.

And the Crimson Permanent Assurance.

And my personal favorite scene, Graham being chased off a cliff by girls with floppy breasts.

Mr Creosote and The Grim Reaper are my fave two scenes.

As is so often the case, Palin made the whole bit. Gilliam as the obnoxious American was great, and Arthur Dent's cameo was a nice touch (fellow Footlighter, if I'm not mistaken).
