I show this movie every semester to my Philosophy of Religion class. Somehow I don't think most of them appreciate it as much as I do. This semester, since The Life of Brian wasn't available, I showed them The Name of the Rose instead -- utterly different, but a good presentation of the conflict between Aristotelian/rationalist and Augustian/irrationalist strands in Christianity.
