Plot: From its opening multi-language titles (that sure looks like Swedish) to the closing arrest of the entire Dark Ages cast by modern-day bobbies, Monty Python and the Holy Grail helped to define irreverence and became an instant cult classic. This time the Pythonites savage the legend of King Arthur, juxtaposing some excellently selected exterior locations with an unending stream of anachronistic one-liners, non sequiturs, and slapstick set pieces. The Knights of the Round Table set off in search of the Holy Grail on foot, as their lackeys make clippety-clop sounds with coconut shells. A plague-ridden community, ringing with the cry of bring out your dead, offers its hale and hearty citizens to the body piles. A wedding of convenience is attacked by Arthur's minions while the pasty-faced groom continually attempts to burst into song. The good guys are nearly thwarted by the dreaded, tree-shaped Knights Who Say Ni! A feisty enemy warrior, bloodily shorn of his arms and legs in the thick of battle, threatens to bite off his opponent's kneecap. A French military officer shouts such taunts as I fart in your general direction and I wave my private parts at your aunties. Rabbits are a particular obsession of the writers this time around, ranging from the huge Trojan Rabbit to the killer bunny that decapitates one of the knights. Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin collaborated on the script and assumed most of the onscreen roles, while Gilliam and Jones served as co-directors. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

"HELP! HELP! I'M BEING REPRESSED!"
Added 10/24/2009

You know what, I'm 28 years old and I've never seen this movie until yesterday. LAUGHED harder than I've laughed at a comedy in a good while! I can see why this has always been hailed as a classic. Its like every scene is memorable and one of my favorites was with "Tim" and the rabbit. Also loved the king yelling "Ni!" at that old woman for a shrubbery (and I thought she played her part perfectly) and then a "shrubber" just happens to be riding by. So many running gags but not over done. This is a real gem and I'm glad I popped it in!

The result of a great comedic team
Added 10/3/2009

Monty Python and the Holy Grail was the first feature length work of the great comedy team Monty Python. The result is a treasure of wit. I have seen this film many times and it never fails to entertain me. It certainly holds up with time and repeated viewings.
