I am a huge fan of Python, Life of Brian is up there in my top 5 all time favourite films.
There is some outstanding philosophy in the Life of Brian, not least of all this subtle but dazzling piece of brilliance from John Cleese ... talk about getting straight to the point...
Interestingly, and I didn't find this out until recently, the only other writer to be given a writers credit on a Python production (pythons themselves and music aside) was Douglas Adams. Who else!
