The funniest film of all time

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2000)

I remember seeing this film as a seventeen year old when it first came out. There were christians picketing outside the cinema, which just added to the notoriety. I was eagerly awaiting this film and I wasn't disappointed. I don't think I'd ever laughed so much in my life and i don't think I ever will.
This was the Monty Python team's masterpiece. Now, understandably as aging men they continue seperately making tame comedies, but this cannot diminish the laughter they created when they were at their zenith.
I too, am older, and the teenage rebellion seem a long time ago. But whenever I watch this film, it still raises a chuckle, not quite like the raucous laughter it induced when I first saw it, but enough to remind me of why I found it so funny. I have seen nothing approaching it, in terms of comedy in the ensuing twenty years.
It may not be as fresh and innovative as it was in '79, but if you still haven't seen it, you may still be able to detect why we laughed so much and why so many people commenting here regard it as the funniest movie ever made.
