Monty Python Double Feature: Monty Python and The Holy Grail and Life of Brian December 30, 2008

Starting at 7 p.m., MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL:

(Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, UK 1975, 91 min.)

In perhaps their funniest and most popular film, the Python crew takes on the legend of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their quest to find the Holy Grail. Along the way, they encounter a killer rabbit, scatological French knights, God, and the Knights Who Say “Ni.” The film also features some of Gilliam’s trademark animation.

then at 9 p.m. LIFE OF BRIAN:
(Terry Jones, UK 1979, 93 min.)

In the Python crew’s insanely funny parody of piety and religious epics, classic comic moments abound, particularly the Sermon on the Mount: “What did he say? Blessed are the cheese makers?”
