10. Life of Brian

If Last Temptation of Christ got it, then this was always going to be in the chopping block too. This Monty Python movie, voted one of the best comedies of all time by critics, told the somewhat tongue-in-cheek story of Brian who finds himself at the centre of a cult of worshippers. Featuring spaceships and frontal nudity, it’s perhaps no wonder that it got deemed as a mockery of Christianity and was summarily banned in various countries.

    I was expecting another list of guilty pleasure movies paired with a whole lot of whining about a critic’s job being to tell you which movies are just good films period. Instead, though a couple entries were like that, the rest were just baffling. (You do know that Unforgiven won the Oscar, right?) At first I was wondering how I’d missed the reception that was just hands-down bad, but by The Wizard of Oz, it was pretty clear that this was just mistaking one or two negative reviews for “negative reception.” There’s basically no movie on the planet that didn’t get a negative review at one point or another. And for the record, Speed racer is not 1/10 the movie The Matrix Reloaded is, and not just because The Matrix Reloaded is alright.

    The Last Temptation is a film that could only be made about Christianity – any other religion would have (rightly) claimed that this film was defaming and just-plain-lying about them.

    I was visiting my parents in Appleton, WI (the hometown of both me and the actor once known as Bill Dafoe) at the time that “Last Temptation of Christ” was released, and was disgusted that even there, the theaters wouldn’t show what I thought was his best performance ever. Sad.
