To me, I would say Life of Brian. The stonning scene and the Biggus Dickus scene are hilarious x)

I'm going to go with Brian, but just barely.

Meaning of Life also has it's great moments and plenty of them, although over all it's the weakest.

Life of Brian, without a doubt. Grail is lame in comparison.

HO;y Grail, I find it funnier, more quotable, and more truly Python,

Those scenes in LIFE OF BRIAN were great, true satire, but it's too bad the movie veered off into that revolutionary plot line and stopped being a parody.

Holy Grail is a much better film.

It's the same question as what's funnier with Mel Brooks, Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein. YF is like LOB, more subtle, while Holy Grail is like Blazing Saddles, a celebration of greatness.

Life of Brian...no, wait aaaaAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHH...................!

I came here expressly to put LIFE OF BRIAN, but after reading some of the comments and how Grail is more hardcore and pythonesque, I'm going to say BOTH. But wait, I can't... I have to pick one. So I'll still say Life of Brian. I literally used to be one of those annoying people who knew the script word for word.

For me it's Holy Grail by a long way but I do love Life of Brian.

I vote Life of Brian, but I'm not a hardcore Monty Python fan. I concede that the hardcore fans nearly always prefer Holy Grail.

This hard-core fan gives Life of Brian the edge. Holy Grail has some inspired lunacy, but LoB is just as funny (IMO) but holds together better.

Life of Brian is the better made movie, but it's no where near as funny or clever as holy grail. So, holy grail.

[–] BrainGremlin 10 years ago

Holy Grail for me. I quite like Life of Brian and I love this one.

I hate Life Of Brian with the exception of the ending song, so Meaning Of Life for me.
