Life of Brian

Released 1979
Stars Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin
Directed by Terry Jones

The Monty Python team tells the story of Brian from Nazareth, an unwilling prophet who wants to free his land from the oppression of Rome. It's a hilarious, uncompromising, blasphemous satire of a Christ figure and the politics of his time. I think it's the best of the Monty Python movies.
