Best Monty Python Movie

[tycoonist]

all hilarious but holy grail takes the holy hand grenade if you ask me...

"Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

It pretty much boils down to only one movie had the "Brave Sir Robyn" song, and that movie wins hands down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZwuTo7zKM8

Meaning of life.

The tiger sketch is awesome just because of it's so confusing.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

The only one that I seen is The Meaning of Life.

 

[Phlegmak]

Life of Brian.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

I went with Holy Grail, as it was the Monty Python I was introduced to, and I found it hilarious at the time. Life of Brian was also good.

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

The best Monty Python film is highly dependent upon the viewers age group, prior exposure to the parodied material, and cultural factors.

Holy grail is the most silly one.

Holy Grail FTW

Holy Grail by a landslide.

Life of Brian. Hanging on the cross at Golgotha, singing: "Always look on the bright side of life... tudumm... tudumm..." Brilliant! (Also the various Judaic religious sects, especially the Suicidal Army, and the orallly challenged Roman governor. Basically the whole concept of the movie.)

From The Holy Grail I especially remember the Killer Rabbits, the Knights Who Say "Ni!", the sphynxian Quest questions and the use of coconuts instead of real horses. (This one is, perhaps, closest to the original series.)

Although it doesn't strictly fit the question, I thought A Fish Called Wanda deserved an honourable mention.

 

[Riffraff]

Holy Grail winning by a landslide??

A class below the other two (especially Life of Brian) in my opinion.

 

[Agent327]

Hear hear. (Funny though how some people don't like jokes concerning religion.)

Although it doesn't strictly fit the question, I thought A Fish Called Wanda deserved an honourable mention.

And no more than that.

 

[Tycho Brahe]

They're all great, but life of brian winns for joking on religion.

Holy grail is just the most funny. Or it has the most straightforward humour.
But Life of Brian had a way bigger impact. So f best means funniest, then it is holy grail for me, otherwise life of brian.
