Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit
with him at Camelot. He finds many knights including Sir Galahad the pure, Sir
Lancelot the brave, the quiet Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave
-as-Sir Lancelot. They do not travel on horses, but pretend they do and have
their servants bang coconuts to make the sound of horse's hooves. Through satire
of certain events in history (witch trials, the black plague) they find Camelot,
but after literally a quick song and dance they decide that they do not want to
go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a
cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search.
While they search for the Grail, scenes of the knight's tales appear and why they
have the name they have. Throughout their search they meet interesting people and
knights along the way. Most of the characters die; some through a killer rabbit
(which they defeat with the holy hand grenade), others from not answering a
question right from the bridge of Death, or die some other ridiculous way. In
the end, King Arthur and Sir Bedevere are left and find the Castle Arrrghhh where
the Holy Grail is. They are met by some French soldiers who taunted them earlier
in the film, so they were not able to get into the castle.

Monty Pythons Life of Brian.
Brian is born in a stable on Christmas, right next to You Know Who. The wise men
appear and begin to distribute gifts. The star moves further, so they take it all
back and move on. This is how Brian's life goes. The Jews are looking for a release
from the Romans, Spiritual and political decay, keep looking for signs and a group
decides Brian is the Messiah. He cannot convince them he is not. He joins the
Peoples' Front of Judea, one of several dozen separatist groups who actually do
nothing, but really hate the Romans. While not about Jesus, it is about those who
hadn't time, or interest to listen to his message. Many Political and Social
comments.

Monty Pythons The Meaning of Life.
Why are we here, what's it all about? The Monty Python-team is trying to sort out
the most important question on Earth: what is the meaning of life? They do so by
exploring the various stages of life, starting with birth. A doctor seems more
interested in his equipment than in delivering the baby or caring for the mother,
a Roman Catholic couple have quite a lot of children because 'every sperm is sacred.
In the growing and learning part of life, catholic schoolboys attend a rather
strange church service and ditto sex education lesson. Onto war, where an officer's
plan to attack is thwarted by his underlings wanting to celebrate his birthday and
an officer's leg is bitten off by presumably an African tiger. At middle age a
couple orders 'philosophy' at a restaurant, after which the film continues with
live organ transplants. The autumn years are played in a restaurant, which, after
being treated to the song 'Isn't It Awfully Nice to Have a Penis?' by an entertainer,
sees the arrival of an extremely fat man. He can eat a lot, but also throw up quite
copiously. The Grim Reaper brings for the final stage of human life, death, a visit
to a mansion, where the people are rather interested in him. But life doesn't stop
at death. It's onto heaven, where it's always Christmas.
