Advantages: Funny, lots of extras
Disadvantages: remake

This DVD is the same as the original but many more extras. It is the six pythons at their best, the film is more of a number of sketches put together rather than following one person directly, it starts of with birth and ends with death, obviously not that simple and obviously extremely funny as it was made by the pythons. Although some of the pythons are not completely happy with the finished product i am, and if it was made any better i feel i ...
...probably hooked up to the machine that goes PING!

Advantages: British humour at its best
Disadvantages: none

...Meaning Of life. The Monty Python team, are up to their usual anarchic antics in this look at life from beginning to end, in a fashion that only Monty Python can. Not so much a movie as The Life of Brian, or The Holy Grail, its more of a series of hilarious sketches, portraying people in everyday life situations, from the moments of conception, (The Sacred Sperm Sketch) is on of the best of the entire film, to a final meeting with the Grim Reaper, ...

But a quick look on its availability over the internet, shows it is readily available from many outlets at varied prices ... Read review

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 ...

Advantages: DRUGS !
Disadvantages: none !

Daaaamnnnnn this movie is the best ever! Featuring Johnny Depp, Benicio Del Toro, Tobey Maguire what is directed by Terry Gilliam. A totally junkie movie. When the journalist and his lawyer are going to a motocycle meeting, and the trips on the way and there and after. On the way there, they are going with a cadillac, "they were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold". This sentence always associates ...
...an auto stopper and they trip him out that much that the poor guy had to run away when they stopped to snort coke... They are smoking joints in the car, eating LSD that's the REAL life!! At the entrance to Las Vegas they see the sign.... Ok I don't remember exactly but there were written that for marijuana 30 years prison and such things... When they get in Las Vegas, drugged, totally hallucinating at the reception was a great trip, and the story ... Read review
