Monty Python’s Life of Brian

(1979)

I’ve seen this several times, the first time at what used to be Graumann’s Chinese Theater, on Hollywood Boulevard, most recently to take the taste of blood out of my mouth after watching The Passion of the Christ, for my sins. It’s one of the best comedies ever made. Now I can never see Christ nailed on the cross without that lovely little jingle “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” running through my head. I’m very happy for that.
