When the Life of Brian was brought out ın 1979 it apparantely caused alot of controversy because of its subject material. I'm not sure why because it is just a good satire on human behaviour. But nevertheless it upset many people because of its theme. There was even one town councıl ın Surrey whıch went to the trouble of banning the film even though the town didn't have a cinema. Any way I guess its the thought that counts.

Commando 2: Education. Commandos: Ohh... Reg: Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough. Commando 1: And the wine. Commandos: Oh, yes. Yeah... Francis: Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Romans left. Huh. Commando: Public baths. Loretta: And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg. Francis: Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it. They're the only ones who could in a place like this. Commandos: Hehh, heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. Reg: But apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? Xerxes: Brought peace? Reg: Oh, peace? Shut up
