Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983): The comedy team takes a look at life in all its stages in their own uniquely silly way. (7.5)
Director: Terry Jones
Stars: John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Michael Palin
Well, you have to like this type of wacky humor to appreciate this movie. And, you have to watch it several times, and maybe with the subtitles on, so you understand all the lines, find new angles, etc. It is great satire. For a silly comedy with no redeeming value (or so you'd think) the final scene and the Galaxy song truly and honestly tell you the Meaning of Life. Yes, if you check your faith-based belief systems at the door, those two actually do make a lot of sense. My Rating: 7.5
