The Monty Python comedy troupe branched off into a variety of different media after the success of their comedy television series, “Monty Python's Flying Circus.”

This class will be a retrospective which includes clips from all four features they made as a team - And Now for Something Completely Different(1971), Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979), and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983). Additionally, notable movies directed by Terry Gilliam, including Time Bandits (1981), Brazil (1985), The Fisher King(1991), and 12 Monkeys (1995) will be featured. From songs to sketches, slapstick to scatology, the Pythons have added immeasurably to the definition and direction of film comedy.
