Nail em up I say! Nail some sense into em.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Can't split 'em, both great for different reasons...I will never fully trust someone who doesn't get a laugh out of their body of works because they ran the gamut, from toilet humour to the cerebral (or at least learned). They're a fine barometer of who to include and exclude from friendship.

[ilikecheese]

I fart in your general direction.

 

[COYBL25]

Come back and fight, it's only a flesh wound.

 

[Death]

I don't like the films as much as the show.

 

[larbert toffee]

"All right ... all right ... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order ... what have the Romans done for us!"?

They gave us all those straight roads in Birkenhead.

It's the "I got better" line that wins it for me...

 

[gonetomorrow]

I've been at parties when the kitchen was full of folk just quoting from those films.

Them and Withnail and I.

Life of Brian, not only for the film but also for this debate:

Cleese and Palin are terrific in this. Absolutely sensational put downs.

 

[Elong]

Life Of Brian just, mainly for this, the absurdity of religion explained in 2 minutes on film.

• [Brian is writing graffiti on the palace wall. The Centurion catches him in the act]
• Centurion: What's this, then? "Romanes eunt domus"? People called Romanes, they go, the house?
• Brian: It says, "Romans go home. "
• Centurion: No it doesn't ! What's the latin for "Roman"? Come on, come on !
• Brian: Er, "Romanus" !
• Centurion: Vocative plural of "Romanus" is?
• Brian: Er, er, "Romani" !
• Centurion: [Writes "Romani" over Brian's graffiti] "Eunt"? What is "eunt"? Conjugate the verb, "to go" !
• Brian: Er, "Ire". Er, "eo", "is", "it", "imus", "itis", "eunt".
• Centurion: So, "eunt" is...?
• Brian: Third person plural present indicative, "they go".
• Centurion: But, "Romans, go home" is an order. So you must use...?
• [He twists Brian's ear]
• Brian: Aaagh ! The imperative !
• Centurion: Which is...?
• Brian: Aaaagh ! Er, er, "i" !
• Centurion: How many Romans?
• Brian: Aaaaagh ! Plural, plural, er, "ite" !
• Centurion: [Writes "ite"] "Domus"? Nominative? "Go home" is motion towards, isn't it?
• Brian: Dative !
• [the Centurion holds a sword to his throat]
• Brian: Aaagh ! Not the dative, not the dative ! Er, er, accusative, "Ad Domum" !
• Centurion: But "Domus" takes the locative, which is...?
• Brian: Er, "Domum" !
• Centurion: [Writes "Domum"] Understand? Now, write it out a hundred times.
• Brian: Yes sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar, sir.
• Centurion: Hail Caesar ! And if it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.
