    The entirety of Holy Grail, for starters. My high school history teacher said that it was one of the most realistic depictions of life in the Middle Ages ever put on film.

    After that…

    “What have the Romans ever done for us?”

    “The roads!”

    “Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don’t they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads–”

    …and…

    “Oh, we used to dream of livin’ in a corridor! Would ha’ been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woke up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House? Huh.”

    Biggus Dickus, I remember my dad cracking up over it the first time I saw Life of Brian (not his first time, obviously). And now, more than 15 years later we’re still in tears when just mentioning the name or watching the scene for the x’th time

    edit: Life of Brian, not Holy Grail… sleep induced brain didn’t work that well anymore

    My top favourite is already the top most voted so I’ll just mention a few that I think are classics that I didn’t see on the list:

    Sir robin bravely ran away

    Holy hand grenade

    The animator having a heart attack

    A couple of lines from the The Man Who Says Words in the Wrong Order sketch.

    “Sometimes at the end of a sentence I’ll come out with the wrong fusebox. And the thing about saying the wrong word is a] I don’t notice it, and b] sometimes orange water given bucket of plaster.”

    TheWrongFusebox was my reddit account for… well over a decade.

    The meaning of life
    Try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

    The scene in the life of brian where he is naked after having sex he swings wide the window shutters and all the worshippers are packed in tight to see him. Its the hardest I ever laugh and my friend had to pause the movie. I was on the ground and got a laugh cramp and it was like 5 or 10 minutes before we could progress again watching it.

    So many things. Great memories with friends watching it just losing their shit laughing over the dead parrot sketch and the alien abduction scene from life of brian. Many great jokes. Also I discovered Terry Gilliam movies over Monty I think, which are whole worlds of treasure for themselves.

    Just great.
