10 Best Fifth Movies In Franchises

Thanks to a compilation of sketches intended for an American audience and a "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" movie, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life is the fifth feature-length release from the maddest private school kids to ever walk the Earth.

Released in 1983, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life doesn't follow a single story like The Holy Grail or Life of Brian. Although, sometimes those didn't really follow a story either.

Instead, this film is a collection of loosely related sketches, each meant to depict a different stage of one's life. Although, that definition is also pretty loose.

Famous bits from The Meaning of Life include the talking fish, a very practical sex education lesson, and, of course, Mr. Creosote. For those who don't know, he's an extremely large man who vomits everywhere before exploding.

If that makes no sense to you, welcome to Monty Python.

Though maybe not as beloved as the two more narrative-based films, The Meaning of Life still has a very strong following amongst the Python faithful. It's also the final appearance of all six original members, as Graham Chapman died in 1989.

A fitting tribute then, if you discount all the puke.
