The Movie Thread

I concur.

If you look at most comedy films now, they all pay some sort of homage to Python in one way or another.

Shaun of the Dead is up there too but possibly because I can identify the characters with some of my stoner mates of old :D (er that is Shaun and Ed..not the zombies)

LOB was the greatest thing the Pythons ever did. It is clever, silly, makes you think, makes you laugh and probably more accurately portrays life in those times than any biblical nonsense.

"He is the messiah....and I should know...I've followed a few"! (the very reason which proves he does not know.... :D....fantastic....).

Dont get me started on quoting LOB....or we will be here all night

But what have the Romans ever done for us?

Actually one of the funniest MP scenes I saw was the Philosopher's football match especially the bit when Descartes was trying to argue with the referee (trying to debate the existence of a red card)

And as for the Spanish Inquisition...

Ah yes.....very true....absolutely hilarious stuff. They made being intelligent cool instead of it being geeky....

Oh Yes, always look on the bright side of life Ann

I think no-one should be allowed to call themselves British unless they can quote, verbatim, the entire script of at least one Monty Python film.
