Favorite Movie of All Time

Okay can someone explain to me the humor in Life of Brian? It's admittedly been many years since I've seen it, but I found it to be one of the worst movies ever made. And yet I've genuinely enjoyed the rest of the Pythons, and the series. And that really pissed me off, considering how I feel about Christianity. I was really looking forward to some great Christianity bashing.

Airplane and Aliens (the 2nd movie I presume...)... Yeah... good times...

I just remember finding it exceptionally boring and unfunny. As I said, I like the rest of the Python movies, I just remember thinking it was awful. I'm afraid I'll have go watch it again.

You don't like Life of Brian?

Let's see..

1) The world's greatest Latin teacher
2) Pilate telling the guards about his good friend from Rome (made even funnier by the behind-the-scenes knowledge that the extras were told to stand there and not to laugh, but weren't told what Palin was going to do)
3) "What have the Romans ever done for us?"
4) Best. Ending. Ever. *whistles*

PERSECUTE! KILL THE HERETIC!

I'll have to side with BM on this one. I, too, felt that LoB was lacking overall. There are bits and pieces that I got a chuckle on, but overall, I find Holy Grail infinately more amusing...

I completely agree with two of Graham's picks: The Shawshank Redemption and Die Hard. They never get old.

Yippee Ki Yay!

"Look! The monster!"
"What? Where?"
"Just there!"
"Where? Behind the rabbit?"
"It IS the rabbit!"

I love that film.

BTW, I had the opportunity to see Spamalot last year - I was expecting to be disappointed, knowing The Quest for the Holy Grail almost verbatim as I do, but I laughed as hard as the first time I saw the film. Combine a Tim Curry-fueled musical, co-written by Idle himself, with the best Python film, and there you have it.

I will add The Ant Bully to my list of favorite movies of all time.

I've been wanting to see that since it came out last year and finally got a chance to. Now that I have, I must say it was GREAT!!

I forgot Rio Bravo the best western and one of the best tales of friendship ever made.
