Monty Python's Best Film

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 1999)

Actually, this is Monty Python's only film in the sense that it, unlike "Holy Grail" and "Meaning of Life", has a continuous story and persistent characters. What also raises this film above the afore-mentioned two is its brilliant (and quite wicked) humor. The scene where Brian paints anti-Roman slogans on a wall and ends up getting an impromptu Latin lesson (at the point of a sword, no less!) is, well, what can I say, a moment of comedic genius.
