Advantages: Holy Grail and Life of Brian are brilliant Disadvantages: Other two films not so good
As someone who was no where near being born when these films and the rest of the python stuff came out I was glad to get this and see some classic stuff.
Holy Grail and Life of Brian are possibly worth this box set alone, depending on the price you could get them seperately. They are both excellent and it is above me to be able to pick a better of the two, I think that would have to go down to personal taste. They excellently poke fun at lots of ... ...in there for everyone. I don't feel either of these films is dated at all, even so long after they were released although perhaps there is better comedy these days to compete with. Holy Grail follows the quest to find the holy grail (as you may have guessed) whilst Life of Brian follows the story of Brian, from his birth to his death (no surprises there eh?). The stories (when you say them like that) don't really sound like much but its more about ...

...a big fan of the Monty Python series, these movies are absolutely fantastic. What I love about each of these films are the way these guys don't hold back on their antics. Every time I watch these films it amazes me how cleverly Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin are able to quickly change characters throughout the films and still manage to keep audiences in stitches.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. After King Arthur (Graham Chapman) sets out to find his knights of the round table, he and his men receive a sign from God to seek the Holy Grail. This film portrays the different stories from each of the knights of the round table as they seek the grail.

Advantages: Funny Disadvantages: i wish the graphics were up to date
...are funny and full of Monty Python adventure goodness. graphics are are divine for the day in age it came to be, but that is not a bad thing. The actors are wonderful and the story plot will definitely keep you rolling on the floor laughing untill you cry. My personal favorite is Monty Python and the holy grail, the other movies in this box set are just as funny, but it all differs by your own personal preference. I love watching these movies over ...

Amazing Review ofMonty Python - The Movies (Box Set)by
Faryad
Advantages: So Funny Disadvantages: Can be Boring Sometimes
...Brian,'' the members of the Monty Python troupe have demonstrated that it's possible to make wildly insane ''book'' comedies that look as impressive as ''Apocalypse Now.'' Revues, however, must appear to be lighter than air.
''Monty Python's the Meaning of Life'' recalls the format of ''Monty Python's Flying Circus,'' those wonderfully irreverent television shows -collections of mad sketches, surreal graphics and interruptions within interruptions ... ...settles down to the usual Monty Python concerns, presented in seven or eight separate sequences with titles such as ''Growth and Learning,'' ''Middle Age,'' ''The Autumn Years'' and ''Death.''
Among the highlights is a sequence set in the chapel of an ancient English public school where the rector, Michael Palin, intones, ''Forgive us, Lord, for this, our dreadful toadying,'' which is the cue for a wicked hymn in which the singers plead to be spared ...

DVD Description
Contains the MONTY PYTHON films MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL (two disc special edition), LIFE OF BRIAN, THE MEANING OF LIFE (two disc special edition), AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, and MONTY PYTHON'S PERSONAL BEST DVD sampler. In MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, the complete Python troupe is cast in this parody of the legend of the Holy Grail. The Knights of the Round Table battle dismembering foes and killer rabbits on their perilous quest. LIFE OF BRIAN is a daring satire about a blundering prophet in New Testament times, Brian Cohen, who is mistaken for the Messiah. In THE MEANING OF LIFE, the Pythons explain it all in this episodic, bawdy adventure as they satirise religion, birth control, British politics, Americans, hospitals and of course sex. Amongst the highlights are the 'Every Sperm Is Sacred' episode that starts off the film, and the grim reaper visiting a bourgeois dinner party where there are some fishy goings on, and the gross Mr Creosote. AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT revolves around a collection of sketches from the Python's successful TV series. Includes 'Self Defence Against Soft Fruit', 'Blackmail', 'Hell's Grannies', 'The Townswomen's Guild's Reconstruction Of Pearl Harbour' and more.
