Monty Python's Life of Brian
(1979)
Some year I'm going to write a long essay about how this film really isn't blasphemous but is instead a rather conservative historicist treatment of the rise of cults and sects. But not this year, 'cause I have to get to bed early so that I can work out before leaving for tomorrow's M5. And anyway, that's not really why I watch it every Holy Weekend; I watch it because it's a worthy observance for the recovering Catholic. (There is, of course, no such thing as an ex-Catholic.) So good night, and always look on the bright side of life.
