September 18, 2009I love this film so much, it's absolutely hilarious. Best not watch it with a bible basher though, as I mistakenly have done in the past. It can get very awkward!

April 1, 2009The best film of the ineffable Monty Python troupe. It does for religion what Dr. Strangelove did for politics.
