Holy grail has great scenes but it just doesn't do it for me, the ending doesn't help either, just seems they couldn't be arsed to finish it properly.  |
I'm not sure if I'm just making this up but I'm sure i recall reading somewhere that in the run up to making Life of Brian the whole Python team decided to try and read the bible, and came away with the idea that the film should be more targeted towards organised religion rather than the biblical story itself.
