You must be jokin.The life of brian is one of the best films ever made unless you'r one of those nutty fundamentalist god squad type's...........OH
The film opened at one theater, Highland Village Park Theater in Dallas, Texas. It ran for six days, and made $30 at the box office. A crew member who took a friend got a refund, so the final domestic box-office gross was $20.
Jesus returns to Earth in present-day NYC, sent by his Father to usher in 2000 years of Godly peace. Unfortunately, modern young people respond poorly to this bearded weirdo. Taking the advice of a market research guru, Jesus has a Spandex costume made and declares himself "Ultrachrist", an urban sin-fighter. Unfortunately, his Father doesn't approve of these unorthodox techniques, while the Antichrist (the NYC Parks Commissioner) ressurects an army of famous sinners to make sure Ultrachrist's mission fails.
The only thing i learned from this experience was: Never watch a film again when the writer,director and star is the same person
unless of course your talking about, in my educated through having seen thousands of films and read hundreds of book on the subject, the greatest movie ever made, the russian version of War And Peace-1967 which was directed by and starring in the lead role and who also adapted the massive novel, sergei bondarchuk. its an 8hr and 27 min unsurpassed masterpiece that was released in 4 parts,but is one movie...www.imdb.com...

Check out Takeshi Kitano he directs, acts and writes almost everything he has been involved in. I'd suggest: Battle Royal, Zatoichi, Sonatine, Violent cop, Glory to the Filmmaker! and his latest "Outrage".

Again, that's a question of personal tastes. I think Kitano is an interesting "auteur", factotum or orchestra-man, with all his excesses and strange sense of humor (japanese stuff, guys).
You can bet in the category of this thread and in the chapter of "auteurs" the spanish factotum Paul Naschy or Jacinto Molina, the "Spanish Werewolf" from the 60s. Some of his titles are little/big gems of bizarre euroterror or fantastique or simple bizarre ego exaltation in exploitation vehicles which are of very disputable inner cinematic quality, despite the funny (more or less involuntary) aspects of stories and cinematic skills. And that could be applicable to the films of other "auteurs" as spanish Jesús "Jess" Franco, french Jean Rollin or a lot of exploitation italian moviemakers.
