Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he's not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement.

Osmosis Iron The Divine Comedy! Christianity has never been funnier. Priceless ending!! Can't really decide between this and the "Holy Grail" as the funniest film ever made.
851222 Greetings from Lithuania.As much as "Life of Brian" (1979) is a good movie / comedy - its an intelligent movie to begin with. Yes, the absurd it shows us is kinda absurd, but on the other hand, there are even more absurdity in life and religion. I liked the performances in this movie. Directing and script were great. The ending was great. Its not a perfect movie, but i kinda was surprised of how intelligent actually it was if you think about it. Also everyone gets their "share" in this movie - Jewish, Romans and everyone else. This is a good movie overall.
Scott Summers Personally, I think this is one of the most intelligent comedies ever made. Sure, it does have its share of simple slapstick and naughty moments, but generally, the topics the Pythons tackle here are very serious - albeit dealt with in a way that makes this a true contender for the funniest film of all time. A firework of hilarious sketches, timeless quotes and clever comments on the human condition, this film was deemed too dangerous for the masses and therefore, until recently, banned in several countries. This film never once makes fun of Jesus (Christ) - but it DOES take the mickey out of blind, fanatic followers of any political movement or religion. An outstanding achievement and endlessly re-watchable.
Julian Dumitrascu I laughed hard and found this film thought-provoking in my teenage. I may have seen it in 1995, but it has the same value today. I enjoyed the acting. Some scenes surprised me and remained vivid in my memory, so that I was able to recount them. I like the final song, but haven't felt that they had chosen the right setting for it. Even in the work of its authors, such good comedy seems rare.
