I purchased 5 items on last Saturday 01/02/2015. 3 Monty Python movies, a Star Trek pin, and a Tribble - which by the way is adorable. I received 4 of the items by Tuesday. 01/05/2015. Two of the movies, the pin, and the Tribble. The 5th item was purchased from Target. I received it today. 01/07/2015 Bravo to the private sellers who rush purchases out to their patrons. I expected Target to be here first, but no, it was one of the movies from a private seller. Yes, I know it was only 2 days, but when a private seller beats a multi-billion dollar distribution center, it's a big hurray for the little guy.

It's hard to decide whether this or "Monty Python's Holy Grail" is their best effort. Whereas "Grail" is way more familiar to the public, "Brian" is a masterwork on another level. Although extremely irreverent - this movie has underneath a deep spiritual message. Really. The message is that true spirituality is not reached by worshiping another - it is not reached by following self aggandizing leaders and it certainly has nothing to do with condemming those who don't agree with your religious beliefs ie: "blasphemers" (one of the funniest bits in the movie). It comes from from finding the truth within yourself. The parellel of the absurd political groups presented (the Palestine People's Front, Peoples Liberation Front and several others constantly bickering with each other ) to todays situation in the middle east in uncanny considering this movie is close to 30 years old.Read full review
By far the funniest Monty Python movie ever made, although may appeal to Brits more than Americans, due to accents. Some say that this work of art is sacreligious, but please remember that it is not making fun of Jesus, just the way that the people of that time were so very ready to follow false idols. Brian's life runs parallel to that of Christ's, but there are very few referances to him, just histerically funny scenes with Centurians, Pilot, ancient militant groups (such as the PFJ - "People's Front of Judea") and of course occasional MP cartoonisms, coutesy of Terry Gilliam. Well worth seeing this movie!!!
If you are a Monty Python fan, then this is the movie for you. I remember seeing "Life of Brian" for the first time back in the 1980's. The comedy contained in this movie is still hilarious today. "Life of Brian" contains many clever scenes that can be considered classic such as the "Pontious Pilot" scene and te "stoning" scene. Those scenes always makes me laugh so hard that I actually cry -- no matter how many times I've seen theme! I must say that this is a good movie but it has a rather disappointing ending, otherwise, I highly recommend it.
Laugh out loud hilarious. Brillant work by the whole troupe. Hope you have thick skin, because they expose everyone and their beliefs.

It was my favorite film in college and it still holds up. I was afraid I would be disappointed, but not a bit of it let me down. I keep trying to settle on a scene to quote that is the funniest and I'm just sitting here giggling and laughing. So I'll just say, "For life is quite absurd, & death's the final word; you must always face the curtain with a bow. Forget about your scene, give audience a grin; enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow. So, always look on the bright side of life....
"Look on the bright side of life" will stay with me all of my life. As a Christian, it is exceedingly hard to bring me to the point where seeing a crucifiction would cause me to "split a gut" in uproarious laughter--but it did. This is one of those movies I'd always heard about, but never got around to seeing in its day or since. Now a classic of comedy. On the down side, as often the case the Brits simply don't bother to remaster mono-mumbled dialogue. It is very hard for this American ear to hear and understand half of what the characters say. The sound is low quality.
This movie will keep you laughing at poor Brian, whom people keep mistaking for the son of God. Positive message overall, and an uplifting ending!
