I don't think there is one I haven't enjoyed. What is the appeal?
I am including films made by or starring the members of Monty Python, but would like to keep it to movies directed, produced, or starring them. Brief appearances or minor roles don't count.
After much internal debate, I've narrowed mine down to Brazil and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I'm going to pick Holy Grail by a hair, there's just soooo much awesomeness in that movie.
"She's got HUGE....tracts of land!"
"Strange women lying in ponds is no basis for a system of government!"
"Minstrel: [singing] Brave Sir Robin ran away...
Sir Robin: *No!*
Minstrel: [singing] bravely ran away away...
Sir Robin: *I didn't!*
Minstrel: [singing] When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Sir Robin: *I never did!*
Minstrel: [singing] Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out.
Sir Robin: *Oh, you liars!*
Minstrel: [singing] Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin"
"Sir Lancelot: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
Sir Galahad: I don't think I was.
Sir Lancelot: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
Sir Galahad: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
Sir Lancelot: No, it's too perilous.
Sir Galahad: Look, it's my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
Sir Lancelot: No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on.
Sir Galahad: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?
Sir Lancelot: No. It's unhealthy.
Sir Galahad: I bet you're gay."
Large Man with Dead Body: Who's that then?
The Dead Collector: I dunno, must be a king.
Large Man with Dead Body: Why?
The Dead Collector: He hasn't got shit all over him.

Life of Brian. Easily the most cohesive Python film, in the sense that the "skits" fit within the framework of the plot seamlessly. The commentary on religion is relevant, done with humor, and involves a great musical number!Holy Grail is amazing but Life of Brian may be the finest comedy film ever made. It's just so fantastically well written and includes everything from cheap slapstick jokes to deep, thought-provoking commentary. The best bit is that the better you understand how organised religion really works the more scathing the humour is. That's why the clergy got so upset  |

"She's got HUGE....tracts of land!" ''One day son, all this will be yours'' ''What, the curtains'' I would be very hard pressed to choose between between Holy Grail and Brian, if I really had to, Brian just shaves it. Meaning of life has its moments too. |

For Thads:
--------[Brian approaches the palace wall at night, and starts painting
something on the wall. He does not, however see a group of Roman
guards approaching from behind him led by a Centurian (Cntrian) who
reads his writing.]
Cntrian What's this then? Romanes eunt domus. People called Romanes they go
the house?
Brian It, it says 'Romans go home'.
Cntrian No it doesn't. What's latin for 'Roman'? Come on...
Brian aaah.
Cntrian Come on.
Brian Ah! Romanus?
Cntrian Goes like?
Brian Annus?
Cntrian Vocative plural of 'annus' is?
Brian Anni?
Cntrian Romani. [He crosses out the 'es' and writes in 'i'.]
Eunt? What is eunt?
Brian Go.
Cntrian Conjugate the verb 'to go'.
Brian Uh. Ire - Uh... eo, is, it, imus, itis, eunt.
Cntrian So eunt is?
Brian Ah, Uh, Third person plural of present indicative. They go.
Cntrian But Romans go home is an order, so you must use the?
--------[The centurian lifts Brian by the sideburns... nasty, eh?]
Brian The imperative.
Cntrian Which is?
Brian Ahm. Oh, oh, um... I, I.
Cntrian How many Romans?
Brian Ah. Plural, plural... ite, ite.
Cntrian Ite. [He again corrects the writing on the wall.]
Domus? Nomonative? 'Go home'? This is motion towards, isn't it, boy?
Brian Dative, sir.
--------[The Centurian takes out his weapon, and holds it to Brian's throat.]
Ahh. No, not dative, not the dative, sir. Oh, Ah. Uh.
The accusative accusative. Ah, Domum, sir. Ab domum! Ah! Oooh! Ah!
Cntrian Except that 'domus' takes the?
Brian The locative, sir.
Cntrian Which is?
Brian Domum. Aaah! ah.
--------[Again, the writing is ammended.]
Cntrian Domum... um... Understand?
Brian Yes, sir.
Cntrian Now write it out a hundred times.
Brian Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caeser, sir.
Cntrian Hail Caeser. And if it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls
off.
