TWO MONTY PYTHON FILMS AT NITEHAWK CINEMA ON PROSPECT PARK WEST

Monty Python's Life of Brian

Monday, December 8th

9:15 p.m. to 10:49 p.m.

 

Director: Terry Jones  

Run Time: 94 min.  

Format: DCP (Digital Cinema Package)

Rating: R  

Release Year: 1979

Starring: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin

Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman) is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. 

 

When he’s not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother (Terry Jones), the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate (Michael Palin) and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement. 

 

Rife with Monty Python’s signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian’s life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.

 

Content expanded.

 

Cost: $10 per ticket 

 

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

Monday, December 15th

9:15 p.m. to 11:02n p.m.

 

Director: Terry Jones  

Run Time: 107 min.  

Format: DCP (Digital Cinema Package)

Rating: R  

Release Year: 1983

Starring: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin

The stages of life are told through multiple sketches and songs by the British comedy troupe. 

 

The seven parts of life cover birth, growing up, war, middle age, organ transplants, old age and death. 

 

Not all stages are singular: “Part I: The Miracle of Birth” is from the perspective of an ignored woman in labor, and of a Roman Catholic couple with too many children, and “Part VII: Death” encompasses a funeral and heaven. 

 

Added are three unrelated skits placed in the beginning, middle and end.

 

Cost: $10 per ticket
