4/5 Python's Motion Picture Debut, And It's A Best Of What Got Them There To Boot!
  by Eric Ericson (Venice, Florida USA)
Made between the second and third season of their original TV series "Flying Circus" (probably to introduce Americans to the show), this is basically a re-do of Python's best early sketches of the first two seasons only. It's almost exactly like watching them from the series but recreated & newly connected together just without some being taped in a studio or without any audience reaction. All of your big favorites are here, and they still hold up today (okay, the "tape recorder up the nose" is old hat). I enjoy this movie because sometimes watching Python all the way through can get tiresome because most bits work but some don't in between. They truly picked a greatest hits package to represent here (be it Seasons Three and Four did have a few gems itselves. Sorry, no fish-slapping dance here). A decent motion picture start to what ended up being only four great classic films, a nice alternative to digging through all the shows just to sing the Lumberjack Song or returning a dead parrot.

And now for something just for us DVD collectors: I noticed that Sony/Columbia re-released this title in 2004 with a new Red cover with on back saying "Remastered In High Definition". But buyer beware, because the original 1999 Blue cover version with a Flipper disc inside with both the Fullscreen and anamorphic Widescreen is the SAME disc that's inside the Red, just now minus the fullframe replaced with a disc picture. There is absolutely NO difference between the two's widescreen presentation, no new remastering, menus or extras. The only real difference is the price, because I picked up the blue cover at a clearance store new unopened for only $3, but the red now goes for $14.99 or higher. And it offers even less than the '99 original. Misleading and wrong, Sony got me the same way with their one-disc reissue of The Fifth Element (boo!). But don't let that discourage you from buying this movie regardless of cover, it's worth it at any price (cheaper prefered of course!).

5/5 The other great Python "movie"
  by Tinker Bell (Neverland FL)
Though this is really just a collection of skits, a collection shot in the 1970s that for the most part had already appeared, in earlier versions, on the TV show, it is still one of my favorite movies. Where else do you get the Restaurant Sketch, the Dead Parrot, the Lumberjack Song and the Upperclass Twit of the Year?

5/5 Great product, fast shipping
  by B. Benton (Layton, UT)
This is not the original collection, but all of the skits are there. MP redid them and patched them together for this version. Still a great product, and the shipping was lightning quick.

5/5 And now for something completely hilarious

In this first monty python movie there are a lot of famous skits. Well the movie is based on the best of monty python so thats why it is such a good movie. My personal favorite skit is upper class twit of the year. It ends the movie perfectly. I recommend it to people 11 years old and up. No kids under ten. I hope if you buy this movie you will enjoy it.
