COMMUNITY REVIEWS

The best part is the correcting of the Latin grammar of graffiti. submitted by lisa on July 29, 2019, 2:11pm Always look on the bright side of life!

(I think this one's my favorite Python work.)

Amazing submitted by RebeccaWittekindt on July 13, 2023, 3:47pm One of the more subversive films of its time, it’s also one of the funniest of all time. If you’re not a fan of Monty Python, or surreal/absurdist humor, it might not be for you. But if you want to watch the group that influenced comedy almost like the Beatles influenced music at the top of their form, you need to see this. Speaking of the Beatles, George Harrison actually mortgaged his house to help finance this film, and has a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo!
