Monty Python Collection (DVD 2004)

I was first made aware of the superb Monty Python film The Life of Brian when I saw a recording of it on VHS. Since then it has become one of my favourite films. After seeing I could buy The Life of Brian plus 3 other films, The Holy Grail, The Meaning of Life and Now For Something Completely Different going for a very reasonable price I just had to buy it. I eagerly awaited it's arrival, first off I watched The Holy Grail and that is equally a classic. John Cleese is superb throughout and I would recommend it to everyone. Even the bits you would normally class as 'silly' seem hilarious.

I was left feeling a bit dissapointed with most of The Meaning of Life and Now For Something Completely Different. I think this was down to the fact that it was a bit before my time. Never the less there are still some classic gags like when Cleese goes to buy a parrott...

I would recommend this box set for those who like classic comedy. It's probably not the best for younger viewers though as you won't understand all of it.

Even if you dislike Meaning of Life and Now For Something Completely Different this boxset of worth having just for The Life of Brian and The Holy Grail!
