Satire

Cast: John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Carol Cleveland, Connie Booth, Neil Innes, Bee Duffell Director: Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam Synopsis: The Monty Python team are at it again in their second movie. This time we follow King Arthur and his knights in their search for the Holy Grail. This isn't your average medieval knights and horses story - for a start, due to a shortage in the kingdom, all the horses have been replaced by servants clopping coconuts together!

Cast: John Cleese, Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, Sue Jones-Davies, Carol Cleveland, Terence Bayler, Andrew MacLachlan, Charles McKeown, George Harrison Director: Terry Jones Synopsis: The setting is Judea 33 A.D, a time of poverty and chaos, with no shortage of messiahs, followers willing to believe in them, and exasperated Romans trying to impose some order. At the centre of it all is Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman), a reluctant would-be messiah who rises to prominence as a result of a series of absurd and hilarious circumstances.

Cast: John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Carol Cleveland, Simon Jones, Patricia Quinn, Judy Loe, Andrew MacLachlan, Matt Frewer, Valerie Whittington Director: Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam Synopsis: 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.
