I just watched their 3 films these weekend and now wanted to know your opinions. For me, The Meaning of Life is the best because it looks a lot like their Flying Circus. The sketch format of the film is awesome. I lmao at the Live Organ Transplant.

But Life of Brian and the Holy Grail are damn great as well.

Holy Grail. Even if it is a train wreck at the end. Other than that, sheer genius, head to toe.

i think life of brian is the best overall though, it's the cleverest one

"you're all different!"

The first 3 post had different opinions. This shows how great those guys were.

I went for Holy Grail, but really, like Bob it's whatever one im watching at the time. That said, of all of them, I probably enjoy Brian the least, although it's still amazing.

Thats why I didnt include it in the poll. Cause it's not a real film. It's like a greatest hits. :D

From those on the list: The Meaning of Life. I have a soft spot for Jabberwocky!

Oh jeez, tough one. I think saying Holy Grail is cliched, like saying Stairway to Heaven is your favorite Zeppelin song. And personally, Life of Brian's religious shit was fucking awesome. I vote for that.

I reckon is a tough decision QA. And I realized now I should have written 'Favorite' instead of 'Best' in the title. My mistake. :o

I can't vote; I can't possibly decide.

I think "Life of Brian" is the smartest,"The Grail" is the funniest and "Meaning of Life" looks the best.....like Bob said it's pretty much whatever one I'm watching at the time....."You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all your silly English K-nig-hts....." :D

I think Life of Brian is probably their best film but personally I like The Holy Grail best, it's just the funniest and most light-hearted to me so I enjoy it.

I've never been crazy about the Meaning of Life though, it's easily my least favorite of the three :(

So, anybody here a fan of their THREE sided record? Ingenious....

wasn't it "individuals" or was that used elsewhere?

same scene, but right before the 'different' part.

I can't choose between my favourite. Brian is good, but I've always enjoyed The Holy Grail more, because of it's randomness and people crawling through mud. (mud is good.)
The Meaning Of Life is great because of its sketchyness and cool songs and live organ transplants and sex lessons and the fantastic computer game that was made of it.

So, overall it has to be Meaning Of Life. Though now I sortof feel like choosing my favourite child or something. So wrong. :(

Also, Life of Brian is funny but unfunny people all too often quote it and keep me from being motivated to see it again.

OMG! The 'sex lessons' is fucking hilarious. :D

And I love "Part I: The Miracle Of Birth":

'And what are you doing this morning?'
"It's a birth."
'Ah. And what sort of thing is that?'
"Well, that's where we take a new baby out of a lady's tummy."
'Wonderful what we can do nowdays.'
