Monty Python And The Holy Grail 1975
The Holy Grail sees the team donning their suits of armour and clippety-clopping their coconuts across the country in search of Christ's Goblet. As well as being near to saturation point with absurd jokes and themes, the film also makes way for Terry Gilliam's fantastic animations, making this very nearly un-made shoestring feature a pure piece of Python history, in every sense of the word.

Monty Python's Life Of Brian, 1979
The Life of Brian is perhaps the most frequently misinterpreted of Cleese et al's work. Despite the numerous Biblical references, the film is not about Christ, but a nearly-messiah named Brian whose misfortune sees him worshipped by three wise but lost men, accrue disciples, and ultimately crucified for his efforts at pursuing a simple life. Funded by ex-Beatle George Harrison, and fiercely lobbied against on its release, this film has secured a place in cinematic history.

Muriel's Wedding, 1994
Nowhere does dysfunction like Australia, and this charming seeking-love story is no exception. Muriel is unhappy and lonely and doesn't know how to fight it. Whilst on holiday, she meets her life mentor in the shape of Rachel Griffiths, who persuades her to move home, away from the awful existence she shares with her slobbish family, in the pursuit of true happiness.

My Cousin Vinny, 1992
Bill and Stan are wrongly accused of murder whilst on holiday in the notoriously xenophobic Deep South, and are unable to afford a real lawyer. Joe Pesci plays the part of their 'attorney', though he is actually a gangster from seamy Brooklyn, which naturally doesn't bode well with the judge. Marisa Tomei's Oscar-winning performance as Pesci's girlfriend is the icing on this pseudo-gangster cake.
