====''And Now for Something Completely Different'' (1971)====

{{Main|And Now for Something Completely Different}}

The Pythons' first feature film (directed by [[Ian MacNaughton]], reprising his role from the television series). It was composed of sketches from the first two seasons of the ''Flying Circus'', reshot on a low budget (and often slightly edited) for cinema release. Material selected for the film includes: "[[Dead Parrot]]", "[[The Lumberjack Song]]", "[[Upper Class Twit of the Year]]", "Hell's Grannies"<!-- DON'T WIKILINK - IT'S JUST A REDIRECT TO THE MP TELEVISION SHOW -->, "Self-Defence Class", "[[How Not To Be Seen]]" and "[[Nudge Nudge]]". Financed by [[Playboy]]'s UK executive [[Victor Lownes]], it was intended as a way of breaking Monty Python into America, and although it was ultimately unsuccessful in this, the film did good business in the UK, (this still being in the era before home video would make it much more accessible to view the original material again). The group did not consider the film a success.
