    The Life of Brian - no idea if it is “uncommon” but I haven’t seen it being mentioned anywhere in ages. It has a weird and macabre but enjoyable mix of super dry English humor, whacky sillyness and actual satire, while still managing to tell a coherent story.

      Life of Brian isn’t uncommonly known by anyone, it’s still widely regarded as the greatest comedy movie ever made. That’s no small feat after 50+ years, considering it is just as brilliant now as it was then.

      If you want more uncommonly known Python, go for Meaning of Life (out of the three main films it’s the odd one out).

      Have you guys heard of this super underrated and obscure comedy group from the UK? They call themselves Monty Python.

          Tom Riddle: “Your parseltongue won’t help you now!”

          Harry Potter: “I know what does: Cockney!”

          Tom Riddle: “what”

          Harry Potter: “Oi, snake! I see you’ve been trapped in the canal for years now! Why don’t we bugger off from here for tea time?”

          Snake: “Oh my, this is a fortunate turn of events! I can’t wait for a cup of wonderful Earl Grey!”

      Why not go trough the complete Monty’s enzyklo Pythonia?

      Mony Puthon and teh Holy Grain is epic. Saw it at elementary school ages ago (early 80s) and was looking for iit for ages. (Not speaking English yet, Imtotally forgot the title) Still need to watch Jabberwocky.

      When done, Black Adder’s Christmas Carol is a belter as well. (The serie is nice as well, as id Red Dwarf)

      I’s add Idiocracy and Don’t look up as well, but alas, both are documentaries by now. :(

      For car fanatics, the Taxi series is nice as well.

    Hank and Mike.

    In a world where being an Easter bunny is a corporate gig. Two bunnies find themselves suddenly unemployed and must try their hand at other jobs. It’s live action with people in bunny suits. Alot more entertaining than it sounds and full of funny debauchery.

    Crazy People (1990)

    A feel like I can’t describe it. It blows taboo and political correctness up to expose the BS in the advertising industry. It’s fun and cute and I swear nobody has seen it.

    Black dynamite is amazingly funny. A satirical 70s action/crime movie

    Btw its written by michael jai white. And he is making a new movie… “outlaw johnny black” where he plays a cowboy/gunslinger. I am looking forward to it
