OVERALL: Draw

The Immaculate Edition from the US and the UK has a slew of extras that make this a must buy including "The Story of Brian" documentary and a storyboard walkthrough. It also has 5.1 sound.

Do note however, the Criterion should also not be overlooked with "The Pythons" documentary and most of the others extras featured on The Immaculate Edition.
