As ButterThumbz pointed out none of the others can touch Palin in terms of acting chops.


Also surprised to see how popular Eric Idle is on here, only because my ranking would be thus:

1. Michael Palin
2. Graham Chapman
3. John Cleese
4. Terry Jones
5. Terry Gilliam
6. Eric Idle

Also Terry Jones deserves respects for his directing prowess.

Yeah, I'm surprised by that too. I couldn't say I rate anything post-Rutles, his filmography is atrocious and he's milked everything he can out of Python.

For his post-python career, it's pretty terrible, yes. But his work with the Pythons was excellent.

He and Gilliam were both stellar in that regard. Looking forward to his next movie too!

Terry Jones for me. He was the most prolific writer and director in the bunch but never got the cred he deserved.

It's either Gilliam or Cleese in my book, I went Gilliam since hes less appreciated. Gilliam's definitely the best filmmaker out of the bunch anyway.

In further defense of Idle, I'd like to point out nearly all the songs in Monty Python media were written by him, including their best song...

Do we really need reminding that Idle is responsible for this? He hasn't stopped sing it since!

All of them, though, in my book, as far their post-Python careers are concerned, nothing compares with "Fawlty Towers" (Cleese).

I got the impression he is from watching interviews with the members of Monty Python in bonus materials from some of their movies.
