Well what are you doing creeping around a cow shed a 2 o'clock in the morning, that doesn't sound very wise to me.

Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't NEED to follow ME, You don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You've got to think for your selves! You're ALL individuals!

The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!

Brian: You're all different!

The Crowd: Yes, we ARE all different!

Man in crowd: Err, I'm not...

The Crowd: Shhh!

Brilliant movie, I love the Python crew and their sense of humour.

Everyone - your favourite scene? Mine was : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K8_jgiNqUc "Biggus Dickus". I practically cry every time I see it :lol:

I think that we need to put on a Pink Floyd/Monty Python star party and all wear togas! :thumbsup:

Absolutely Ric :) No one since has delivered the utterly absurd in such a way. A lot of it has to do with the cackling falsetto voices they put on for womens roles - especially Terry Jones. LOL! Way too funny. He was so "unwomanly".

I also like the fact that they roped in all sorts of cameos too for Life of Brian - like Spike Milligan as "Spike" and even George Harrison as "Mr. Papadopolous" - uncredited though he was.

I still enjoy Michael Palin to this day - his adventure travels are fantastic.

One other thing that I admired about the Python crew was the way they played multiple roles - another trade mark.

Graham Chapman ... Wise Man #2 / Brian Cohen / Biggus Dickus
John Cleese ... Wise Man #1 / Reg / Jewish Official / Centurion / Deadly Dirk / Arthur
Terry Gilliam ... Man Even Further Forward / Revolutionary / Jailer / Blood & Thunder Prophet / Frank / Audience Member / Crucifee
Eric Idle ... Mr. Cheeky / Stan (Loretta) / Harry the Haggler / Culprit Woman / Warris / Intensely Dull Youth / Jailer's Assistant / Otto / Lead Singer Crucifee
Terry Jones ... Mandy Cohen / Colin / Simon the Holy Man / Bob Hoskins / Saintly Passer-by / Alarmed Crucifixion Assistant
Michael Palin ... Wise Man #3 / Mr. Big Nose / Francis / Mrs. A / Ex-Leper / Announcer / Ben / Pontius Pilate / Boring Prophet / Eddie / Shoe Follower / Nisus Wettus

Attached photo: George Harrison as Mr Papadopolous

Chris, how can you possibly pick a favourite scene?

If there's going to be a Monty Python/Pink Floyd Star Party, I would definitely make the effort to get down for it.
Seriously.
Wouldn't we have just the best time.:D

hehe Jeanette - picking a fave scene is next to impossible - but I did it! :D

To tell you the truth - the whole movie is a string of favourite scenes, here's another fave :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaE3EaQte78 (What have the Romans done..?)

Crackup! :lol:

Now - what do we call the party? "Monty Floyd Star Party"... "Pink Python Under the Stars"...... or "The Pink Monty"?:rofl::rofl:

Ok, I've had a bit of a think and I chose the very last scene of the movie.
I picked it because of the song "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life."
I know this is going to sound corny, but that song saved my sanity during one of the worst times of my life a couple of years ago. :(
I would put "Monty Python Sings" on the record player and listen to Bright Side morning noon and night. Without fail it would put a smile on my dial and I'd be ready to face life again.:)

:rofl:

Love the scene when the Romans raid their meeting.
The old man muttering his way to the door.
The way everyone hides.
Utterly brilliant.
