    Sad but understandable that That Obscure Object of Desire is next to last. Hope more people check it out. Buñuel is a genius.

    I shut off Life of Brian about 40 minutes in. I couldn't take it. I don't think Monty Python is for me.

    The opening musical number is sheer brilliance. Worth the price of admission.

    There were a few humorous bits...the stoning scene was the only part that really popped me.

    A lot of it was the voice of Brian's mother...made my ears want to commit suicide lol

    I loved the stoning scene were there were male actors playing women pretending to be men.
