Imagine what it would be like if black settlers arrived to settle a continent inhabited by white natives? In 1788, the first white settlers arrived in Botany Bay to begin the process of white colonisation of Australia. But in Babakiueria, the roles are reversed in a delightful and light-hearted look at colonisation of a different kind. This satirical examination of black-white relations in Australia first screened on ABC TV in 1986 to widespread acclaim with both critics and audiences alike. This is the story of the fictitious land of Babakiueria, where white people are the minority and must obey black laws. Aboriginal actors Michelle Torres and Bob Maza (Heartland) and supported by a number of familiar faces from the time, including Cecily Polson (E-Street) and Tony Barry, who starred in major ABC-TV hits such as I Can Jump Puddles and his Penguin award-winning Scales of Justice. Babakiueria was awarded the United Nations Media Peace Prize in 1987.

The saga of King Arthur and his knight companions is one the best know mythic cycles around the world. The Arthurian Cycle is for many people the traditional image of the chivalry world, where proud knight would go around the land seeking to defend the righteous, slay some dragons and save beautiful maidens in the name of a good/righteous king. But the most famous quest of this cycle is perhaps also one of the most unknown, as the greatest quest that the Round Table took part was the quest for the Holy Grail, one of the three holy relics of Christianity. Is a serious tale that speaks a lot of bravery, disappointment and mostly about Christian virtue and the worth of a pious life. On this masterpiece of movie, we see a complete new view of this classical world purely with one mentality: being hilarious! From small jokes only understood by fans of the cycle to generic jokes that will make you fall on your behinds laughing. Perhaps one of the most striking features for me is the fact that it was not made by foreigner, but by the greatest British comedian group (Monty Python). They were able to break away from the local lore to a completely new and amazing perspective.

I've heard a lot about this movie, so the minute it was on Netflix I gave it a watch. The first 30-40 minutes was a bit tough to get used to, but if you hold on a bit longer you will be treated to a hell of a comedy! From the Knights Who Say "NI", to a Random Historian's random death. This movie has a lot to offer that you can miss if you give up on it half way.

This movie is so quotable, and just so damn funny. It has stood the test of time and become a genuine classic.Is there a plot? Well the Python team, with Graham Chapman as King Arthur and his valiant (or not so valiant knights in the case of Sir Robin, who defeated the chicken of Bristol) in search of the Holy Grail.So many great sketches here. The Black Knight (You're arm's off, you silly sod!") Castle Anthrax and Castle Swamp, the gorge of Eternal Peril, the French Taunters. It's all here. Graham Chapman is a superb Arthur, trying to make sense of all the madness around him. But they all shine. They are, after all, the Python Team, some of Britain's greatest ever comedians.Come see the lovli lakes....

Sights and Sounds - Though the visual quality of this film varies greatly from shot to shot, but the shots themselves are actually pretty creative. Though there is a little bit of dubbing, the audio of this movie is actually pretty decent. Everything Else - The plot and the characters are all hilarious. There isn't a dull movie. Its stupid and clever at the same time. I love this movie and all that it has inspired. This film is incredible.
