Many thanks for sharing your reactions. I agree with Krimson that age and background affect our reactions to movies, As a Scot who was in his early 20s when this first came out, I very much enjoyed its puncturing of the UK class system and the absurdity of organised/mandatory religion. It was still unusual in the 80s to hear or see criticism of religion, e.g. "God - ooh - you are so big - so absolutely huge" and how the Catholic Church's policy on condoms was a terrible thing (I don't remember Jesus mentioning it). The movie is almost a documentary on how we ended up with Boris Johnson as PM. It is a very British movie compared to the other two, and I agree Life of Brian is their masterpiece, But "Oh, and Jenkins, apparently your mother died this morning" gets me every time. I am now immune to the fat bloke exploding - but "wafer-thin mint." is a totally established British meme.
