Life of Brian
Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah.

unlabelledView post →It's amazing that broadcasters still show the comedy movie The Naked Gun, despite wife murderer, armed robber and kidnapper OJ Simpson being in the cast. Imagine if Jimmy Saville had been in The Life of Brian, it'd never be seen again.

Con: Jaws, Y tu mamá también, Raging Bull, Life of Brian, Sound of Music is the perfect musical film but Wicked is fucking good guys. It's done the impossible - taken something so theatrical and made it work on film.
unlabelledView post →The Life of Brian (to use the current discourse's example) is a very good film that has a couple of bits in it that modern audiences might raise their eyebrows at.

George also stepped in to provide finance for the film 'Monty Pythons Life Of Brian' when EMI pulled out due to worries about content. #GeorgeHarrison

unlabelledView post →I've just read that the actor Kenneth Colley has died. Python fans with know him from the Ripping Yarns episode the Testing of Eric Olthwaite and as Jesus in the Life Of Brian. A surprisingly small role for those who refused to watch the film but condemned it anyway.
unlabelledView post →Also, for a list so smugly by-critics-for-critics, putting Holy Grail above Life of Brian gives the whole damn game away. Buncha barely-passing film students smirking at each other and understanding neither popular film nor proper cinema. Genuinely disgusting.
unlabelledView post →The fact that Monty Python used the sets from Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth to film Life of Brian is a source of never-ending delight to me.
unlabelledView post →Michael Palin and John Cleese were invited to be on a talkshow with a couple of Anglican bishops debating whether Life of Brian was blasphemous. Cleese and Palin are sorta fighting for their lives because this is their movie and the church wanted to ban it. After the debate....
