The title of the Pythons’ first feature-length release, And Now for Something Completely Different, feels disappointingly ironic. There’s nothing “completely different” about this movie; it’s a compilation of sketches that had already appeared in the best episodes of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Some of the transitions between the sketches are dif...
Of the three Python movies drawn from original material, Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life is the clear underdog.

Generally considered to be the outlier and not as flawless as their other films, The Meaning of Life is an ...
The only Python movie recorded live, Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl, is one of the funnier movies in the concert film genre.

Life of Brian has as ma...
