| pjalne | The discs are the same, but the box comes with a paperback version of the script. Like we need people to know the lines better. |

The Holy Grail is out. The special edition is excellent, and like Jixby said, that new one is exactly the same but in a big dark box or some shit. A new version of Life of Brian is coming out too, but it may not have the Criterion features. It does have a 5.1 soundtrack, but I'm glad I have the Criterion either way. |

They are releasing a new edition of Holy Grail, that is, from what I understand, exactly like the other special edition that is out except with different packaging. I remember I bought Life of Brian while me and my family went to San Fransico to see Kids in the Hall. That was the last good family trip I had. |

I am soooo getting this. On a related note, I FINALLY picked up my own copy of the Life of Brian criterion collection DVD. Yay. Now I need to get Holy Grail and this when it comes out. And Life of Brian is EASILY the best thing they ever did, hands down. THAT is a "classic". |

If anyone is getting LoB, try to find the Criterion Collection release. It has some great deleted scenes, among them a couple of sequences with Otto the right-extremist Jew and his suicide squad. Oh, and the part in Meaning of Life where the two people try to explain why they're dressed up as a tiger is one of the funniest things I've seen. |

| Royal Tenenbaum | Why not get Life of Brian? |

I'll be getting this when it comes out.  "Hello. Can we have your liver?" |

| Royal Tenenbaum | Yeah, the Life of Brian is hands down the best work they did. It's way funnier than Meaning of Life, which had about 3 or 4 things going for it, and a little better than the Holy Grail. |

I agree that Life of Brian is the best of their movies. I can't for the life of me remember much of The Flying Circus, so I'm not in a position to say it's the best of their work. I thought that The Holy Grail and The Meaning Of Life were slightly too all over the place. The Life Of Brian had a good solid plot, great satire and generally just the best jokes.  I will be getting this when I have the money to though, naturally. |

Life of Brian is the best thing they've ever done you fool. That and the fairy tale sketch from their second German show. |

| crash0814 | Life of Brian was the most subtle of their films, so it's my least favorite. Not that it's bad. |

| pjalne | I'm with Jixby here, but the restaurant piece, the 'Find the fish' sequence and the part where Death points at the fish make it all worth it. |

I wouldn't call this movie a "classic" exactly. But I do want it on DVD. It would be more than okay with me if their last movie was "Life of Brian" |

| Spectre X | there is a god. |

| Paul138 | I already did, and the suspense is overwhelming... Okay so I suck at lying, but I can't wait! |

Meaning of Life DVD I'm so fucking psyched. 2-Disc Special Edition of the Monty Python classic. If I had any money I'd preorder. |
