Monty Python's Life of Brian ★★★½ Life of Brian 1979 (R)

Often riotous spoof of Christianity tracks hapless peasant mistaken for the messiah in A.D. 32. Film reels from routine to routine, and only the most pious will remain unmoved by a chorus of crucifixion victims. Probably the group's most daring, controversial venture. 94m/C VHS, DVD .
