I tried to re watch meaning of life a few years ago, couldn't get through it, it's still as bad.Monty Python’s The Holy Grail - I remember watching this with my dad as a kid and just howling with laughter and it was only the titles at the beginning! (Jokes about Swedish Moose and Ralph the wonder llama).
Still a very funny film all these years later; the argument between Arthur and Dennis the socialist about ‘farcical aquatic ceremonies being no basis for a system of government’ is genius stuff.
It does drag towards the end though and the actual ending is still shite.
Got a huge pile of ironing to do this afternoon so gonna put Meaning Of Life on and see if it’s still as disappointing now as it was when it came out.
Life of Brian instead mate my top comedy of all time.Monty Python’s The Holy Grail - I remember watching this with my dad as a kid and just howling with laughter and it was only the titles at the beginning! (Jokes about Swedish Moose and Ralph the wonder llama).

One of the first films I put on for her, also one of my go to Xmas movies :)Life of Brian instead mate my top comedy of all time.
My opinion of Meaning of Life has improved over the decades, but it still drags compared to their other films. The biggest mistake they made on release was putting that Crimson Permanent Assurance trailer into it. It’s awful and slows the whole things to a crawl before it’s even started. If you can watch the film without that, it’s much better.Got a huge pile of ironing to do this afternoon so gonna put Meaning Of Life on and see if it’s still as disappointing now as it was when it came out.
I think Eric Idle was right when he said the film should’ve ended with the French waiter who says he’ll show the meaning of life, takes them on a long walk then tells them to fuck off. It was the perfect ending.My opinion of Meaning of Life has improved over the decades, but it still drags compared to their other films.

The Time Machine.
Great film, one of my favourites.
Found an interesting video on it.
Watched The Big Short, bit complicated for my limited intelligence, but the underlying message of how the hoi poloi/ rich bankers screwed millions of people for their own benefit is clear to see.
Great film !!Scent of a woman. Not bad but a bit too long. I never watched it back in the 90s as I assumed it was a romantic film
Yeh I understand the gist of it, just struggle gettin my head round all the figures, %’s, sub prime etc. left my head in a spin. Good film thoughSecond time round it won't be. In essence this was a business venture between organised crime and opportunistic investment houses
