Monty Python's the Meaning of Life (1983)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
The last movie made by the British troupe for theaters, 'The Meaning of Life' follows a format closer to their classic TV series: 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. It is a series of more or less connected sketches and musical numbers that follows a man's life from birth to death. With a lot of black humor and offensive jokes, it is the group’s boldest—and paradoxically funniest—film.

Monty Python's Life of Brian
The second Monty Python movie made specifically for the cinema, 'Life of Brian' is a comedic critique of religious hypocrisy. Brian of Nazareth, the titular character, is born in a manger next to Jesus on the same day, but his spiritual crusade quickly turns into a big farce. More Monty Python, impossible.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Up until then famous on British TV, the members of Monty Python ventured for the first time with a true feature film for the cinema - the first film, released in 1971, was just a set of sketches from the show 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. With 'The Holy Grail', the troupe created a work that became a landmark of English humor around the rest of the world. With low budget, the Pythons' creativity stood out, making humor even out of adversities (like forgetting, for example, about the knights riding without horses - there was not enough money to get real animals). This also was the first feature film directed by Terry Gilliam, a member of the group and who would later become one of Hollywood's great filmmakers through films like 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen' and '12 Monkeys'.
