I was watching the Life of Brian the other day and despite me having seen it about a 100 times before it still makes me laugh. The Holy Grail has me in stitches at times, especially at the start where the two knights decide on a draw during a duel despite the Black Knight having no arms or legs left by the end. The Meaning of Life again is very funny and not given the praise it deserves.
The Flying Circus has some great sketches, the most famous probably being the dead parrots or the Spanish inquisition.
I also love the work they've done when they've been on their own, such as Fawlty Towers which in my opinion is one of the best comedies ever. Basil is just a perfect character and Cybil compliments him so well. Eric Idle is great in the film "Nuns on the Run" with Robbie Coltraine.
Overall I just think the Monty Python was a fantastic set of comics, who can (and will) have you laughing for a very long time. Their shows don't even look dated.
