Sitting here looking at my Monty Python desk calendar and decided it was time for my list of the best movies we'll go straight to hell if we watch. Here goes:

5. Last Temptation of Christ (1988) -- One of the first really controversial treatments of Jesus, at least in my lifetime. Martin Scorsese got vilified for this film, and who knows if that contributed to his long wait for Oscar.

4. The Passion of the Christ (2004) -- Jews hated it because it portayed them as scheming Jesus haters. Christians glorified it as a profound passion play. Still, how many of us watched it because it's the most famous snuff story in history?

3. Da Vinci Code (2006) -- Didn't much care for the book, although the novelist did weave an interesting story. My biggest question, of course, is what the hell happened to Tom Hanks' hair?!? Oh yeah, sacrilege, blasphemy, etc. etc.

2. Dogma (1999) -- One of my favorite movies, how many ways can this get you damned? Chris Rock an apostle? George Carlin a cardinal? A Black Jesus? God a woman? If you've never seen this movie, by all means go rent it and see Jay and Silent Bob in their first major roles. It'll give you something to chuckle over while you spend eternity in the fiery pit.

1. Life of Brian (1979) -- This movie was the catalyst for this post. What a laugh riot -- Brian is a kid born a couple of mangers down from Jesus, and experiences odd events in his life strangely familiar to Biblical scholars and Sunday school rejects alike. Sprinkle in some typical Python moments and you have a recipe for eternal damnation comedy-style.
