After not seeing The Holy Grail for about 20 years, my husband and I sat down with our 14 and 11 yr old kids last night and roared with laughter all the way through. The kids, not being used to this British humor (Canadians, eh) were at first a little puzzled and now want to see it again. They especially liked the minstrels and the French guy in the castle.
19 years ago, my now-hubby went on our first date, and then with friends watched a video of the Monty Python movie with the guy throwing up in the restaurant (can’t remember which one that is).
Any other M.P fans out there?
I 
monty python.
The Life of Brian is the BEST 
Monty Python is great. I’m a big fan of The Flying Circus.
That would be The Meaning of Life…
the Monty Python movie with the guy throwing up in the restaurant (can’t remember which one that is).
“it’s wafer thin…”
Say no more, say no more, say no more! A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat.

Life of Brian no contest. Most of the Python’s themselves also felt this was their best work, according to their interviews over the years.
ok - funny story about “Holy Grail” (and is also on topic for this time of year).
Noah was three - and dressed as a knight, decked out with his wooden sword and shield from the Ren Faire. We went “trick or treating” at the local zoo - where they have different areas set up for the kids to get goodies. We are standing in line, and Noah is standing there going “Ni”. “Ni”. “Ni”.
The woman in front of me turns and asks “Surely he hasn’t seen THAT movie?” Noah proceeds, in his best British accent (and speech problem to boot) to say “It’s merely a flesh wound”!
Missy
I love that. The lad will go far. Maybe not in a direction you might want, but he’ll go far.
All their work, the films and the skits, makes me laugh the good laugh, the long laugh… but let’s not give short shrift to the work of the individual members, as well; my favorite is Cleese. He is quite possibly the funniest human on the planet… I adore “Fawlty Towers.” “Whatever you do, don’t mention the war!”
Let’s play “guess the sketch”:
No no no, you can’t pronounce somebody “not Esther Williams”!
Caj
“Not gillcup!”
Next guess-the-sketch:
“…those are all cricketers!”
When the moment comes, the first song in English my son will learn will be a censored version of the Lumberjack song 
Personal remarkable moments
“Every sperm” from the Meaning of life (which I can’t reproduce in order to avoid hurting the sensitivity of other members of the forum)
The one with Pijus magnificus (spanish versión, to avoid hurting the sensitivity of other members of the forum) and wife
And the coconut thing in the Round table; I lost most of the movie laughing at that the first time I watched the movie
Regretably, I haven’t been able to watch the TV series 
My favourite movie is “Life of Brian”. The choice is difficult as they are all hilarious.
My favourite song is “Always look on the bright side of life”.
But my favourite scene is John Cleese’s striptease in “A fish called Wanda” - although this was not really an MP movie.
Holy Grail, of course!!!
Fave song: Every sperm is sacred.
Fave sketch: the dirty vicar
Fave film:The meaning of life.
Slan,
D.
Favourite skits:
The git obstacle course race
The international hide and seek championship
The skit where the guy attempts to run up a ramp and jump the English Channel
Self defense with a pointed stick
Buying dead parrot ( It’s dead…No it isn’t )
Precisely what I was about to say… LOL! Best to keep an eye, or three, on that one, LOL!
Favorite line: “Be as vicious as you like with it.”
..and who could forget:
Immanual Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable;
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel;
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There’s nothing Nietzche couldn’t teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates himself was permanently pissed…
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill;
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram;
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
“I drink, therefore I am.”
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed…
A lovely little thinker –
But a bugger when he’s pissed!
And the always loved Fish-Slapping dance!
