Monty Python’s Life of Brian Year: 1979 Director: Terry Jones Stars: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin Rotten Tomatoes Score: 95% Rating: R Runtime: 92 minutes The first-time co-direction from onscreen performer Terry Jones (who only sporadically directed after Python broke up) and lone American Terry Gilliam (who prolifically bent Python’s cinematic style into his own unique brand of nightmarish fantasy) moves with a surreal efficiency. It certainly doesn’t look like a $400,000 movie, and it’s delightful to discover which of the gags (like the coconut halves) were born from a need for low-budget workarounds. If you’re truly and irreversibly burnt out from this movie, watch it again with commentary, and discover the second level of appreciation that comes from the inventiveness with which it was made.
There are so many jokes in this movie, and it’s surprising how easily we forget that, considering its reputation. Holy Grail is, indeed, the most densely packed comedy in the Python canon. But, if you try and distance yourself from the over-saturation factor, and revisit the film after a few years, you’ll find new jokes that feel as fresh and hysterical as the ones we all know.

Or, in my case, of repeating full scenes to people as a clueless, obsessive nerd. Nowadays, when we hear a “flesh wound,” a “ni!” or a “huge tracts of land,” our first thoughts are often of having full scenes repeated to us by clueless, obsessive nerds. It sucks that some of the shine has been taken off Holy Grail by its own overwhelming ubiquity. Monty Python and the Holy Grail Year: 1975 Directors: Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones Stars: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Connie Booth Rotten Tomatoes Score: 97% Rating: PG Runtime: 92 minutes Here are the best comedies on Netflix as of September 2023.ġ.

Again, for the purpose of these rankings I’m looking at how funny a movie is alongside how well made it is-meaning you might see some absolutely hilarious comedies that aren’t that well respected by critics coming in higher than better reviewed, more technically proficient films. Let’s take a quick trip through the funniest movies on Netflix right now. Add those two to Coming to America, The Jerk, Bridesmaids, Groundhog Day, Slap Shot, the first two Monty Python movies, and the other movies on this list, and you won’t have any problem finding something hilarious to watch on Netflix. If you’re a teenager and you’ve never seen Superbad or Fast Times at Ridgemont High, now’s your chance to see the movies that entertained your parents and, uh, older cousins? aunts and uncles? when they were in high school. There’s still a great variety of comedies on there, though, and a couple of high school classics returned, just in time for the start of the school year. Six movies that were on our list in August left the streamer at the start of September, in one of the bigger single-month cullings we can remember. Summer’s winding down and with it Netflix is cycling out a number of its best comedies.
