1	Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1974) more movies like this directed by Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones featuring Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones From its opening multi-language titles (that sure looks like Swedish) to the closing arrest of the entire Dark Ages cast by modern-day bobbies, Monty Python and the Holy Grail helped to define "irreverence" and became an instant cult classic. This time the Pythonites savage the legend of King Arthur, juxtaposing some excellently selected ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.50!
2	Silverado (1985) more movies like this directed by Lawrence Kasdan featuring Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, John Cleese Lawrence Kasdan's Silverado is a fond hark back to the all-star, big-budget westerns of the 1950s and 1960s. The various plotlines converge at the town of Silverado, held in thrall by crooked sheriff Brian Dennehy and his behemoth "deputies." The four disparate heroes--Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn and Danny Glover--prepare to do battle ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.79!
3	Fawlty Towers [TV Series] (1975) more movies like this directed by Bob Spiers, John Howard Davies featuring John Cleese, Prunella Scales, Andrew Sachs, Connie Booth, Brian Hall " 'Nutter' runs small hotel" is the terse-but-true description given by an English catalog to the weekly comedy series Fawlty Towers. Created by John Cleese, the series stars Cleese as Basil Fawlty, the insufferable--and insufferably inept--owner-manager of a tenth-rate British hotel. Co-starring as Basil's equally impossible wife Sybil is ... see all copies from $13.99! new only from $13.99!
4	Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983) more movies like this directed by Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones featuring Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin The Meaning of Life is without a doubt the most tasteless of the Monty Python feature films; it also happens to be one of the funniest. Life's questions are "answered" in a series of outrageous vignettes, beginning with a pre-credits sequence at a staid London insurance company which transforms before our eyes into a pirate ship. One of our ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.65!
