Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Grail is more consistently quotable, I think, but I do toss out a "Follow the shoe!" occasionally. Followed of course by "Follow the gourd!" and "It's a test!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, the anarchist commune refusing to recognize the authority of the king.
Although that went mostly over my head as a child.
eta: Momentarily forgot the watery tart was in this bit.

Believe it or not, you can even increase the hilarity of this scene by studying some medieval Russian history shortly before viewing. I speak from experience.
Oh, there you go bringing class into it again.

I love the watery tart discussion SO MUCH.
I had never seen Holy Grail when I went to college, just some Python repeats on the local PBS channel. So that first semester, we went to see it, because (of course) it was shown as part of the Cornell film series. (Cornell had an awesome film series--everything from Death Race 2000 to Astaire/Rogers flicks. You could see a different movie every night of the week, for $2. ::sigh::)
And the guy in the row in front of me said every line of dialog just before the actors did.
ARGH.

Death Race 2000 was oddly compelling.

I thought that was par for the course whenever anyone, anywhere, is watching a Monty Python film. Even if you're watching alone in a cave in the remote desert, That Guy will show up and recite each line before the actors do. I seriously don't think I've ever watched a Monty Python film where it wasn't a competition among the viewers to see who could quote the most lines, the fastest, with the most accuracy.
(I also have a friend who does this with Caddyshack. I just don't watch movies with him anymore. It saved the friendship.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Also when watching Spamalot on B'way. I had That Guy right. in front. of me.

OK, doing it at a film screening is bad enough, but if this happened to me at a Broadway show I'd inform Sir Quotes-A-Lot that either he could be quiet or his strangled corpse would.

move out and draw fire
We primarily quote the Latin grammar scene, but that may just be a factor of something like 7 years of training in 5 or 6 languages.
I HATED Holy Grail the first time I saw it, because how dare you make fun of the sacrosanct myth of Arthur. Oddly I did not have that reaction to Life of Brian.
I can't really vote for one over the other without ratified definitions of "better."
