Bring out yer laughs' I remember seeing this for my first time as a child. My English was not very good, but how I laughed! Now 26 years later, I still laugh. I think it is not necessary to record all the hillarious gags - most literate people know them anyway. Many of them have entered the English languages as cliches or quotes. I think it was this film that showed what a great actor Graham Chapman was, and the brilliance of director's Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam. Some of the scenes are very complex, but it is not obvious as the viewer is to usually too busy laughing. If it is the original screenplay that accompanies this DVD the buyers are in for a treat. In it can be followed the entire development of the film, from first sketches to the finished version, including scenes never filmed. Some sequences discarded are just so funny, but did not fit into the final film. Part of the genius of the film is the mix of the realistic and absolutely bizarre, as the realistic scenography contrasted to Gilliam's totally sick drawings. Maybe the Monty Python team better captures the meaning of life - a pointless search, with many incomprehensible and non-connected events on the way, and an ultimately disappointing ending - in this film than in their more ambitious later film of that name.
