'Life Of Brian'

Although Holy Grail is probably the more popular film, Life of Brian may actually be a bit better only because of the commentary on religion and society and whatnot.

Of course, that's probably a big reason the film's not as popular and it doesn't go for the cheap jokes as was the case in Holy Grail (killer rabbits, et al.).

I owned Life of Brian, but I was forced to borrow the copy for this viewing because my copy was VHS and I'd sold my VHS with the intentions of purchasing DVD copies. Honestly, there's probably a dozen films unreplaced.

My top 10 most memorable moments:

1. The group (including Brian and mother) listening to Christ's Sermon on the Mount unable to hear and eventually getting into a heated argument all the while misinterpreting Christ's words. The analogy is crystal clear.

2. Eric Idle's People's Front of Judea character arguing for equal rights for women in addition to the acknowledgement of his right to have a baby.

3. The centurion guard -- upon fear of death -- correcting Brian's poor Latin.

4. The Augustus Caesar Memorial Sewer.

5. Michael Palin's centurion character in charge of handing out the crosses as if he were an airline stewardess.

6. The haggle.

7. Terry Jones as Brian's mother. Who is apparently a whore.

8. Idle's stuttering character. Probably the most insane bit to be performed in the film.

9. Bigus Dickus. Then having Bigus actually show up.

10. The Judean People's Front suicide squad.
