You mean as in "Brian Cohen, Reluctant Messiah" ???? :-) The Life of 
Brian is one of my favorite movies, though I actually remember a lot 
more lines from other MP movies:

*Jabberwocky: "Cart for the dead! Cart for the dead! Throw your dead 
out here!" (IMHO Jabberwocky was one of the most realistic portrayals 
of Probable Real Life in the Middle Ages, or perhaps the Dark Ages)

*MP & the Holy Grail: "What is the capital of Argentina? What is my 
favorite color?" and of course "NI! NI! NI!"

*Meaning of Life: "Every little sperm is sacred" (a wonderful 
production number), "We're here for your liver" and of course the 
ineffable Mr. Creosote ...(Ka BOOOOOM)
