I'll have to go with The Life of Brian. I love the Holy Grail, but the Life of Brian is just funnier IMHO.
Nothing beats some of the Flying Circus sketches, though.

Everything about them is greatI don't like "the meaning of life" much.
My vote goes to the Life of Brian for best, with the Holy Grail a close second.

What about The Meaning of Life? That had some of the greatest songs ever!

For instance:

Life of Brian. Not only hilariously funny, but has a good story too.

I dare you not to laugh! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arCITMfxvEc) :mad:Ok, done. What do I win?

If you hadn't dared me, I might have laughed a few times, mind you. But they have better sketches imo. And besides that, TMOL is mostly a large number of disjoint sketches strung together, and not so much a movie as the other two.

Holy Grail is the best overall, but Meaning of Life had some of the funniest parts- who could forget Mr Creosote (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf7PuP2IlN0)!

Oh most definately the meaning of life. I agree that is has the best songs. Come on. Every Sperm is Sacred? I can go for hours just on the title. Well not hours :-) Monty Python is pure genius. Original Sketches are best, but none of the other Python movies cheer me up in the same way that the Meaning of Life does. Brightens my life, really :-D

As a movie, I'd have to go for Life of Brian. Cause the other two are more a connection of sketches loosely held together with a common theme. LoB on the other hand had a definite plot and storyline which makes it more of a 'movie' than the HG or MoL.

Also LoB had Spike Milligan in it, which seals it.

Its good ... its random
If you have seen their fying circus you have caught most of it though ... they are mostly refilmed skits from there
