S-Tier Universal 4K. The 90s kids movie. Universal announced the 4K and it's a nostalgia buy for a lot of people.

S-Tier Universal 4K. The first Monty Python film to get a 4K release, which felt backwards given Holy Grail and Life of Brian are far more popular. The old 5.1 remix from the 2002 DVD was widely disliked, so people were hoping for the original stereo or a new remix.
dir. Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam
A-Tier Sony 4K. The Holy Grail finally on 4K in August 2025 after years of people waiting. The steelbook announcement got immediate day-one energy. It's bizarre that Meaning of Life was the only Python film on 4K for so long. The $40+ USD steelbook price caused some grumbling, but people bought it anyway.

An account of Baron Munchausen's supposed travels and fantastical experiences with his band of misfits.
Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray
Brian Cohen 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, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate 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.
