Greatest movie ever? Hell, it's not even the best Monty Python movie.

I checked around and the original price seems to have been in the $80 range.  I think there were P
AL versions (region 0) for $15 on Borders.

Odd

I literally fell out of my seat laughing when I saw this in the theater.

They will probably be coming out with a Special Edition in the future, like they did with Holy Grail.

Not only is it out of print, but I can't find my copy.

"Grail" was better...IMHO.

I've got the VHS version....would that suffice?

I've got mine in eyeshot.

Check Best Buy, Target or the like for copies.

No word on a special edition.

The SE Holy Grail was entertaining. Especially the two Terry's traipsing around the old locations.

Life of Brian is better--but you gotta love the restaurant scene in Meaning of Life...
