It has to be the holy grail, if only for the coconuts for horses. Class.

Did you know that the only reason they used coconuts is because they had to small a budget for real horses, and it made for some of the best scenes in the movie.

Classy thread SMAK keep up the good work.

Holy Grail is my No. 1 Python film - without a doubt.

I just bought Life of Brian on DVD and was disappointed with the picture quality - it's especially atrocious at and near the beginning, although it does improve quite a bit, later on.

Argh... it's a tough one but it's gotta be Life of Brian.

"No more Wuperts, no more Wodericks, no more Wudolph the Wed nosed Weindeer".

"Biggus... Diccus"

"He has a wife you know... do you know her name?... Incontinentia.... Incontinentia Buttox"

"Suicide squad..... Attack!"

"We'd just like to thank you and wish you the very best on this, the day of your martyrdom... fooor he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow..."

Then of course Holy Grail in close second.

"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries. I fart in your general direction, silly eenglish k'niggets".

"We are no longer the knights who say Ni!... we are now the knights who say ecky-ecky-ecky-k'tang-zoopoing-mumble".

"OK... now we just wait for Lancelot and the rest of the knights to climb out of the rabbit... oh ****".

"Whaaat is your name? Whaaat is your quest? Whaaat is your favourite colour?"
"Blue - no - Yello--- AARRGH!"

"Whaaat is your name? Whaaat is your quest? Whaaat is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
"African or European?"
"I dunno.... AAAARGH!"

"It's just a flesh wound"

IMO the Meaning of Life deserves a mention too, just for:

"Oh sir... just one little waffer thin mint... eets only waffer thin..."
-- if you've seen the film you'll understand. If not, why not?!

Voted Holy Grail, though the "Every sperm is sacred" opening of Meaning of Life is one of the funniest things I've ever seeen.

What about Monty Python's "History of the World 1/2" and "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl"?

Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings with horned helmets on. A man and his wife enter.

Man: You sit here, dear.

Wife: All right.

Man: (to Waitress) Morning!

Waitress: Morning!

Man: Well, what've you got?

Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;

Vikings: (starting to chant) Spam spam spam spam...

Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam...

Vikings: (singing) Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!

Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.

Wife: Have you got anything without spam?

Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.

Wife: I don't want any spam!
Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?

Wife: That's got spam in it! Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it? Vikings: Spam spam spam spam (crescendo through next few lines)

Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then? Waitress: Urgghh!

Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam!

Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

Waitress: Shut up! Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam.

Wife: (shrieks) I don't like spam!

Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam and spam!

Vikings: (singing) Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.

Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then?

Waitress: You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words)

Vikings: (singing elaborately) Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam!

Puck · 13-12-2001 6:01pm

I voted for the Holy Grail. It gets better everytime I watch it. Life of Brian is excellent also, it was hard to choose.

Dustaz · 13-12-2001 6:31pm

Life of brian is a much better 'film'. It has a stronger narrative than anything else they have done. The fuss that was caused by its release proved what good satire it was also. (i presume the ban on its showing in cinemas has been lifted here? must have missed that) Its also stupefyingly funny:)

stu_69 · 13-12-2001 9:58pm

Life of Brian.

I think it was 97 when they re-realesed it, I Bought it and watched it about 100 times in a month!!! I can stilll watch it today and it cracks me up:D
