I show this movie every semester to my Philosophy of Religion class.
Somehow I don't think most of them appreciate it as much as I do. This
semester, since The Life of Brian wasn't available, I showed them The Name
of the Rose instead -- utterly different, but a good presentation of the
conflict between Aristotelian/rationalist and Augustian/irrationalist
strands in Christianity.
"LISTEN TO ME! I AM *NOT* THE MESSIAH! *HONESTLY*!"

"Only the true Messiah would deny that he is the Messiah! All praise the
Messiah!"

P.S:: "*How* shall we fuck off, O Lord?"
P.P.S.: Brian: "Don't let me tell you what to believe; don't let *anyone*
tell you what to believe. You are all different."
Crowd intones: "We are all different."
Lone voice: "I'm not."
