The Meaning of Life:  really a great movie, Time has been gracious to it, looks fabulous, is much better than conventional wisdom has long allowed.

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Still have to get around to watching that one of these days.  It's the only major Python I haven't seen.
"l do not consider my music as atonal, but rather as non-tonal. I feel the unity of all keys. Atonal music by modern composers admits of no key at all, no feeling of any definite center." - Arnold Schoenberg

You've a point, of course.  But I do think that the best elements of The Meaning are as good as anything they've done.

The eternal question that's never been answered:

Where DID they get those coconuts from??
Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

I remember seeing that (and buying it) in a department store in Lodi (or it may have been Wallington, the boundaries there confuse me), New Jersey.

Especially the highly pithy dream sequence.

Recently on a crossword forum I used the word "esurient" (which occasionally pops up in crosswords) in a clue-setting contest entry.
One of the other posters (most of whom are from UK) reminded me of this old classic clip. Probably has appeared upthread, but I only scanned the last few pages (apologies).


Which prompted some further John Cleese viewing (similar apology)

It's amazing how often lines from these movies makes their way into regular conversation.  Anytime someone has a very stupid idea, I start reciting this...
