Haha, you made me waste 48 minutes of my evening Michael. They were wasted in a good way though, great documentary!
Life of Brian is easily one of the top, if not even THE funniest film ever.
Thanks for that link Michael, I must’ve missed this when it was on Channel 4. Without doubt, the greatest comedy films of all time, and certainly one of the greatest films ever made. It may be blasphemous to say it, but I rate this far, far higher than Star Wars.
Thanks Heile, you just made me lose nearly an hour of work.
The end is actually scary, as you realise that, yes, it might well be harder to make it today than it was then….
