The Movie: Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979)
What Is It?: Monty
Python takes Christian dogma for a ride in a UFO, and Graham Chapman finds
humanity in the eye of a storm of brilliant absurdities. He also shows his
penis. Thank George Harrison, who funded the film after EMI pulled its funding
because of the script’s controversial depiction of a guy a bunch of dopes think
is a messiah. Chickens!
Why Today?: On
this day in 1943, George Harrison is
born.
