Monty Python - The Movies (Box Set)

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 ...

...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.

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 ...
