I created this poll to find out! I love all the films but I think The Holy Grail is the best.

Holy Grail is the one I enjoy the most, so many timeless stupid jokes.
But Life of Brian is certainly their most developed work, such a cleverly written and inoffensive satire on christianity.

Holy Grail is brilliant, but I also chose And Now For Something Completely Different, cos it's the first one I saw of their actual show (Took ages for the full eps to come on DVD)

Oh yeah, the centre of the galaxy, the sun and the earth will be lining up right?

Better get myself a camera...strange, seeing as I can do it this year on December 21st and I could of done it many times before...seeing as that happens every year anyway on december 21st, LMFAO!

Meaning of Life is best...Mr Cruseo (I think thats how you spell it, a.k.a The fat guy) boy that was just great :D

The ending to The Holy Grail is priceless, where all the police are arresting the whole of the King's Army. Also, I love the way they end the film with just a blank screen with music. The reason its like that is because they couldn't afford end credits!

This is hard - I went for "Life of Brian" with "Meaning of Life" coming a close second.

"Brian" as a movie was better - but some of the sketches/songs in "Meaning of Life" are funnier.

Who can forget:

"Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate ..."

done in the style of "Oliver: The Musical"

or the downright bizarre galaxy song:


Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

"Can we have your liver then?"

"Alright, you've talked me into it ..."

:)

Probably one of my favourite scenes in The Meaning of Life is where two paramedics walk into a guy's house and disembowel him with bloody results! I also like the "Find the Fish" sketch. This ending quote cracked me up:

M-hmm. Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations. And, finally, here are some completely gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors and to hopefully spark some sort of controversy, which, it seems, is the only way, these days, to get the jaded, video-sated public off their f**king arses and back in the sodding cinema. Family entertainment? B*****ks. What they want is filth: people doing things to each other with chainsaws during tupperware parties, babysitters being stabbed with knitting needles by gay presidential candidates, vigilante groups strangling chickens, armed bands of theatre critics exterminating mutant goats. Where's the fun in pictures? Oh, well, there we are. Here's the theme music. Goodnight.

I love the Holy Grail especaily the part at the bridge: "What is your favorite color?" "Green...no red! Wait no, blue!"

I even like it when the Old Man says "What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" and then Auther asks "What do you mean? An African or European swallow?" and then the Old Man dosn't know what he means and falls into the lava.

I feel a bit crazy for making this poll last til 2012 now. I won't do it in my next poll.
