Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life $9.44 at Walmart, $9.35 at DDD, etc.

[fornax]

This is the new, special edition 2-DVD set, with Dolby 5.1, and many features. I got it for $9.44 at Walmart, but DDD also has it for $9.35 shipped (but be prepared to wait 1-2 weeks).

Just when I thought it was safe

Do they have any other MP titles ??

Remember it's just a flesh wound........

Still looking to buy a dead parott.... but he's just sleeping

[Redline]

Great deal! This title had be OOP for a while.
Cool.

Kenny0829, for the Dead Parrot you'll have to buy the season's DVDs (there are three DVDs in each set, 4 seasons altogether). Check Costco, Sam's, DDD - they usually have the sets for decent prices.

The Meaning of Life is a spry 21 years old.

You saw Life of Brian, and you're better off having done so... it's much better.

I'd rank them:
HG
LOB
MOL

But only because LOB is so dead-on with its satire, not because it's funnier than MOL.
Actually LOB is by far the worst-produced movie of the three of them, imho.
You can really see the influence in it of the guy who later would make "Brazil" and "12 Monkeys."

I also wonder - why is HG so much more quotable? My mates and I used to know every line of that film.
Not so much with the other two.

I think because LOB and MOL are satire, not so much pure comedy like the HG and most of their TV episodes. They're all good, just in a different way. But in the MOL there are some gems, like the sex education bit. The HG is essentially a feature-length Monty Python TV episode, incredibly funny! LOB and MOL don't really make you split in half from laughs, but are also very enjoyable.

That "guy" is Terry Gilliam, a.k.a one of the guys from Monty Python.
