Life of Brian (1979)
He's not the messiah...he's just a naughty boy.
Overview
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. Rife with Monty Python's signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian's life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.

A review by Filipe Manuel Neto
Written by Filipe Manuel Neto on October 6, 2023
It's an excellent comic film, but much inferior to “The Holy Grail”.
There is consensus on the impact that Monty Python had on humor, and on the way comedy is seen and performed. After a bombastic television series and a highly successful first film, they decided to make this film which, in essence, is a satire on the great biblical epics of the past. In this film, we follow Brian, a man who was born a short distance from Jesus and is constantly confused with him.
I'm not conservative enough to not appreciate a religious joke if it's good, and there are a lot of good things in this fi... read the rest.
