5. Monty Pythons Life Of Brian
It seems incredible in this day and age that Life of Brian was once so controversial. Taking the story of Christ and seeing it from different points of view was seen as blasphemous, which inevitably peeked peoples interest. The film is considered to be one of the funniest ever made, with Brian going on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way he encounters everything from Romans to aliens, and finally ends up on a cricifix. Its here we get probably the most iconic moment in Pythons colourful history. As Brian is left on the cross to die, a fellow sufferer picks up everyones spirits by singing the ever classic Always look on the bright side of life. With dead people shuffling their feet and people in so much pain singing one of the happiest songs ever written, its without a doubt one of the most ironic and funny endings to a film ever.

As a pretty nerdy guy, I've loved film and television since I was a wee lad. Growing up in Ireland, The Den was the show to watch with it playing Batman The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation and everything in between. I have an MA in Radio and Television Production and have written for various sites, hope you enjoy my articles/lists for What Culture!
