I don't know if Monty Python's "And Now for Something Completely Different" or "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" are available where you are, but those might worth checking out eventually as well. They're basically just collections of them redoing sketches from their TV series (the latter in a live format), but are still great, as is all their stuff.

If you have absolutely no knowledge of Python, or just want to look up more after Grail, Different is a good watch on its own, as sort of the Essential Wikipedia of great Python TV sketches, but Hollywood Bowl is basically a concert film, with only a few rare sketches that have since gone to video elsewhere. But for those who don’t know Python, Grail’s a good first gateway, and again, Life of Brian will probably make a lot more sense in context.

I feel as though we're ignoring "The Meaning of Life" -- the last (original) thing they ever did together. It's not as good as "Grail" or "Brian," but still worthwhile. I've still only seen one other person react to it (and she hated it 🤔).
