[Film] Life of Brian

[sydney]

truly as applicable , pertinent or poignant today as it was all those years ago when it was banned from cinemas in sussex when it was first released .....a stunning indightment of human stupidity and in my view if was released today would still be ahead of its time .....kudos and RIP to Terry Jones , Graham Chapman A
and did i hear Terry Gillian died also .....absolute cinematic genius ......bats spleens , ocelots earlobes , otters noses.....always look on the bright side ...

My favourite film. Would have to be adapted in the modern age but is still funny start to finish. I still laugh when I shouldn't..

As an aside, has anyone ever spotted Spike Milligan's cameo ?

According to IMDB <cough>, The town of Bournemouth banned this movie in 1979. It was finally shown there in 2015, when the ban was lifted.

Spotted? it's not like it's heavily disguised

Spotted? it's not like it's heavily disguised

Many viewers still don't know he's in there. I'd seen it a few times before I realised.

George Harrison makes a cameo appearance in the what have the Romans ever done for us scene, He also stepped in to fund the film when half way through production the original backers pulled out after seeing some of the scripts fearing a backlash from the American God fearing public

[Barrow Boy]

it was banned in worthing

I saw it in Worthing when it came out at the Odeon, and I'm pretty sure that was in 1979.

Thanks, didn't know that.

Absolutely brilliant film that must have saved some from a life of religious servitude, and bloody funny as well.

 

[father_and_son]

Yeah, but what did the Romans ever do for us?
