The Life of Brian (Courtney)


Brian is born in a stable on Christmas, right next to You Know Who. The wise men appear and begin to distribute gifts. The star moves further, so they take it all back and move on. This is how Brian's life goes. The Jews are looking for a release from the Romans, Spiritual and political decay, keep looking for signs and a group decides Brian is the Messiah. He cannot convince them he is not. He joins the Peoples' Front of Judea, one of several dozen separatist groups who actually do nothing, but really hate the Romans. While not about Jesus, it is about those who hadn't time, or interest to listen to his message. Many Political and Social comments.

you, madam, know comedy. I have seen several movies from your list and laughed during every single one of them. This has to be my favorite so far, with the Judean People's Front and the People's Front of Judea, to the guard punishing Brian for his grammatical errors, this was really good, I was expecting that fat guy who explodes, but that must have been a different movie. That jerk Eric Idle ticked me off, stealing Brian's freedom like that.

I give this film........ and Awesome (5/5)

[RVR II]

That's a F'N Hilarious Movie

Ahthank you.  *tiny bow*

[mrbasehart]

It also has the best ending of any movie, ever.

I love the boring prophet.

"There shall in that time be rumors of things going astray, erm, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia-work base, that has an attachment. At that time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer, and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock."

[Fortis]

never would I have figured I would laugh at a 100 year old movie, yet here we are, congratulations Mr. Fortis, wherever you may be.

I love Buster Keaton movies, glad you liked it. It is quite hilarious.

[anais.jude]

Ya know, George Harrison produced and cameoed in that movie (Life of Brian)


also, probably the only film lots of guys like that alos has a naked guy in it.....

Dracula (1979) [Compound]

When a ship is wrecked off Whitby, the only survivor, Count Dracula, is discovered lying on the beach by the sickly young Mina, who is visiting her dear friend Lucy Seward. Lucy, her fiancé Johnathan Harker (a solicitor), and her father Dr. Seward (who runs the local asylum) try to make the Count feel welcome to England. The Count quickly takes the life of Mina, and proceeds to romance Lucy, with the intention of making her his greatest bride. Soon after the death of Mina, the Sewards call her father, Dr. Van Helsing to come to their home. As Lucy falls deeper under the spell of the Count, Dr. Van Helsing almost immediately comes to understand that his daughter fell prey to a vampire and discovers the culprit to be none other than the Count himself. Dr. Van Helsing, Dr. Seward, and Johnathan Harker work together to foil the Count's plans to take Lucy away to his native Transylvania.

('sall frenchified)

I'm not sure if this was the one you were referring to, it turns out Universal released a lot of Dracula movies, anyway, pretty good movie, I don't really know what it tries to accomplish, everybody knows who Dracula is, so it's not really a big mystery to the audience. The cast was good, no duh right, it's Lord Olivier and Donald "I was in Pewmaman" Pleasance. The movie did take some liberties with the novel, Mina Van Helsing, John's a dick, Lucy's a slut, not really a happy ending, Langella Lansbury's not as Good as Gerard Butler, but MR. Butler's not as Good as Leslie Nielsen.

while not being awesome, it is good

it gets a Whoa(4/5)

I'm pretty sure people liked American Psycho, which while not full frontal, still had nudity

Dracula (1979) [Compound][/size]

Actually, I was suggesting the 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula from Francis Ford Coppela. (The Frank Langella version's a good version, but if I wanted to recommend a good version, it would have been either the 1931 version or the Hammer version.)

I was mostly recommending the '92 version due to the great cinematography and the, er, unusual acting performances.

Compound
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Alien
Dracula (Universal)
Dracula (Coppala) (Just to contrast to the Universal version. Plus it's very well filmed, even if the acting is a bit off.)
The Exorcist
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Jaws
The Thing (Carpenter)
The Omen
Psycho
The Ring (for the current Japanese influence on horror)
The Shining

that's where I got confused

[Compound]

Whoops. Forgot that I put it on there twice.

The Universal one I meant was the 1931 version with Bela Legosi as the Count.

[esoobaC .T bocaJ]

ok

[DarthChimay]

Still, I've always loved the '79 version, from John Williams score, to Tony Haygarth's turn as Renfield, to the cameo by the seventh Doctor.

To quote Angel,

Woman: ...Bela Lugosi, Gary Oldman, they're vampires.
Angel: Frank Langella was the only performance I believed, but...

[esoobaC .T bocaJ]

I liked how Langella's eyes were never stationary
