Product Description
The Life of Brian
Monty Python delivers the group's sharpest and smartest satire of both religion and Hollywood's epic films. Set in 33 A.D. Judea where the exasperated Romans try to impose order, it is a time of chaos and change with no shortage of messiahs and followers willing to believe them. At it's centre is Brian Cohen, born in Bethlehem in a stable next door, who, by a series of absurd circumstances is caught up in the new religion and reluctantly mistake for the promised messiah, providing ample opportunity for the entire ensemble (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) to shine in multiple roles as they question everyone and everything from ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate and haggling to revolutionaries, crazy prophets, religious fanaticism, Roman centurions and crucifixion, forever changing our biblical view.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his Knights of the Round Table (John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) on the trail of the elusive Holy Grail, encountering many nasty and long-winded characters (John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) on the way. Who can forget the quest for a shrubbery to placate the fearsome Knights who say 'Ni', the fearless, and limbless, Black Knight, the mysterious wizard Tim and the horrific White Rabbit, with the big pointy teeth?

Everything looked good until you play the DVD, All downhill from there, the picture quality is really bad and frankly un-watchable. Sorry

I was after Monty Python's ''The Life of Brian' as a Christmas present.

I was looking for 'The Life of Brian' on DVD for a Christmas present, as a friend had said that they had been looking for it for a while and hadn't seen it in the shops for ages. This 'Double Pack' DVD also has 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail' on and was the same price as just 'The Life of Brian' DVD. It also arrived, as indicated, in plenty of time for Christmas. I've heard no complaints from my friend, so I'm very happy with this purchase.

Everything great except that the Holy Grail DVD has only arabic, english and french subtitles! Life of Brain has all the subtitles announced here. Someone should mention that in the subtitles description!!!!

laughed all the time
arrived early, well packaged. Had forgotten just how wonderful the films are, especially Life of Brian. Introducing my 12 year old son to Monty Python has been great!

Two very funny, classic films. We never tire of watching them. It's amusing to think that The Life of Brian caused a furore when it was released - being accused of being... Read more
