The meaning of life
Try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

I adore the bit where they're talking about woody and tinny words. I still describe words as such, it's perfect.

Someone else said The Argument Clinic and that is definitely my favorite.

But my most referenced is "And now for something completely different."

In a happier timeline, there's a Judge Dredd movie with John Cleese as Dredd. Directed by Terry Gilliam.

Also the Terry Gilliam directed Harry Potter movies.

The scene in the life of brian where he is naked after having sex he swings wide the window shutters and all the worshippers are packed in tight to see him. Its the hardest I ever laugh and my friend had to pause the movie. I was on the ground and got a laugh cramp and it was like 5 or 10 minutes before we could progress again watching it.

That a guy in a purple dress got super agroed about a movie he thought was about his crush in the name of his version of decency.
