And Now For Something Completely Different
I must've been about nine or ten when I first saw this flick and, at the time, it served as my introduction to the fabulous Python boys. Despite completely blowing me away back in the day, I hadn't really seen a huge deal of it within the decade and three or four years that then followed, as
Holy Grail and
Life of Brian-saturated as my film-viewing experiences therein have been (nope,
Meaning of Life hasn't been much of a shower either). But I was in desperate need of cheering up the other night and happened to find this lying around and so decided to stick it on and relive the memories...needless to say, it did the trick perfectly. This was Monty Python's first feature film, and though it doesn't consist of very much more than remakes of some of their most popular TV sketches (hence why it doesn't get nearly as much attention as
Grail and
Brian), with such a magnificent selection of sketches on offer, I'm certainly not complaining. It's hard to pick a favourite, when there are so many greats - nudge nudge, wink wink, the dead parrot sketch, Hell's Grannies, etc, etc - but if pressed, I think I would have to go with the camp military march...silly, and a bit suspect. Graham Chapman ruled, rest his soul.
