cover The Meaning of Life (VHS or DVD) (1983)
Starring: Monty Python Cast, et al.

cover The Life of Brian (VHS, VHS Widescreen, or DVD) (1979)
Starring: Monty Python Cast, et al.
Director: Terry Jones

A scathing satire of both religion and Hollywood's depiction of all things Biblical. The setting is the Holy Land in 32 A.D., a time of poverty and chaos with no shortage of messiahs, followers willing to believe in them, and exasperated Romans trying to impose some order.

Starring: Monty Python Cast, et al.
Director: Terry Gilliam

A hilarious send-up of the grim circumstances of the Middle Ages as told through the story of King Arthur and framed by a modern-day murder investigation. When the mythical King of the Britons leads his knights on a quest for the Holy Grail, they face a wide array of horrors, including a persistent Black Knight, a three-headed giant, a cadre of shrubbery-challenged knights, the perilous Castle Anthrax, a killer rabbit, and a handful of rude Frenchmen.

cover And Now for Something Completely Different (VHS or DVD) (1971)
Starring: Monty Python Cast, et al.
Director: Ian McNaughton
