Monty Python rocks!!! It's been a long time since my last dose of Monty Python(6 years) so I rented Monty Python's Holy Grail and The Life of Brian. Gotta love those movies. It seems that Brits have an off the wall sense of humor. See if you can spot these lines. (scene and movie) "What did he say? Blessed are the cheesemakers?" or "Oh Lord Bless this handgrenade." "We are the Knights who say NEEEEE!!!!! NEEEE!!!!"
Grail is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Here's some free Grail video clips (mpeg) you can dload Knights Who Say Ni!

Technically, only 3 of those you have listed are Python movies. Grail, Brian, and Meaning of Life. Might I also add to the list of Python related material: How to Irritate People Silverado (mid 80's western with Cleese as a sheriff) Time Bandits Erik the Viking (dir. Terry Jones. Jones and Cleese both make appearances)
Ive only seen the holy grail, but i thought it was great. Love the rabbit. I made a clay statue of it in art last year.
"What did he say? Blessed are the cheesemakers?" "Thwow him to the fwow". Those guys must have had a lot of fun making those movies. Where can I find "How to irritate people"?
I think they're absolute legend films, and flying circus is brilliant, but i have to say that I prefer Lifee of Brian to Holy Grail. Which do you prefer?
"Welease wodger!" I <3 Tim the Enchanter - "For death awaits you all with big, sharp, pointy teeth" "Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is good, every sperm is needed in your neighborhood"
Any Faulty Towers fans 'round here? Polly's just so damn hot and Basil is a laugh-riot! "Don't mention the war."
I have the whole set on vhs and dvd and I love it "si, que what?". I also have all of flying circus, the holy grail, the life of brian, and the meaning of life all on dvd. I love monty-p!
"Just wait till my fwiend Bigus Dickus hewes about this" "Now write that 100 times before sun up or I'll cut your balls off!" "No No. We're the Judean People's Front! Not the People's Front for Judea!"
I always wanted to get a car alarm that screams Basil! over and over the way Sybil does. "Have you ever tried the Ritz salad, its potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce...." "Don't mention the war." 'Don't mind him, he's from Barcelona.' Oh Robbins, Harold Robbins, that's who you meant, I didn't mean him, he is a great author...... "you don't like the view? It's Torquay........" "right then, either they go or I go...........okay, goodbye then." Good morning major. Morning Fawlty. Did you know that each episode took a month to write? And when the US tried to adapt it for the states, like they did with Man about the house, which became three's company, they actually wrote Basil out of the script..........it never got off the ground.
"I've soiled my armour." "No, no, its okay, I can face the peril." "too perilous, I must insist, come on." and just when it looked like there was no escape, the graphic artist suffered a massive heart attack. Crucifixion or set free? Set free. Right then, second door on the left. Next. Just kidding, crucifixion. Take a cross and go through the door on the right. Is thewe a wodowick, welease wodowick. Oooh, look, there's some lovely filth over here. couldn't you get your balls cut off? No, afraid not. You could have them ripped off in an accident. No, son, God would see through such a trick, me loves, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid its medical experiments for the lot of you.
Jabberwock and Secret Policemans Ball arent "technically" Python? Sounds like someone is Splitting Heirs...
