05/03/2016 Movies
Almost 40 years since its release, Life of Brian still remains to be one of the funniest films of all time and arguably Monty Python’s finest creation. In utter appreciation for the story of the hapless Brian Cohen and his trials under the oppression of the bloody Romans, we’ve compiled a list of top 5 favourite moments in this monumental British comedy triumph:
This hilarious take on the sermon on the mount highlights some of the potential difficulties of public speaking 2000 years before PA systems were invented.
Transgender rights had a long way to go in Ancient Rome, thank goodness for 'The Peoples' Front of Judea'.
Mass hysteria can break out at any moment with an ill informed, deluded mob of fanatics such as these, desperate for salvation they'll make a messiah out of anyone, whether they like it or not.

Not so easy to be a convincing tyrant with a speech impediment. Okay, so we missed out the Judean Peoples' Front, but its impossible to narrow down all the great moments of this movie into just 5. This iconic scene from the film however has got to be the most hilarious of all and so, makes the top spot.
