MCT:August 26, 2008One of the best movies on earth that makes you laugh. My favorite parts are when they sing. I expecially love the Sir Robin Song!!
-
MCT:August 24, 2008This movie was weird, OK? Just plain weird. The funniest thing to me was the whole thing of they don't have horses, just guys banging coconuts together. It was kind of a letdown after hearing a lot of people build it up as one of the funniest things ever.

This is by far, my favorite work by Terry Gilliam and the Monty Python crew.
In college, I used to get together with friends, watch it, and quote it. I think I've seen this movie about 657 times. I'm pretty sure I can quote the whole script, even if that does up my geek factor. -

This is Monty Python's masterpiece. Their style of comedy was executed to absolute perfection in this film. While it was stupid, it wasn't obnoxious. In point of fact, it was absolutely hilarious. I loved it.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is another great film by the Monty Python team. the story: this is an absurdist send-up of the legend of King Arthur and his knights' quest for the Holy Grail. possibly the best Monty Python film made. the Monty Python team, (Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Terry Jones) done great acting as well as making up the comedy side to this film. if you like Monty Python films, then you will definetly like this.

"
King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis:
[interrupting]
Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. "
A Landmark film of it's genre.
A Classic Masterpiece....
The Most Ridiculous Film Ever.
(In a good way)
A week ago one of my friends sent me his review of this movie that completely captures my attention.Then I remember saw this title in the IMDB's Top 250.
After I had watched I was completely shocked.Why it took me so long time to see this one of the funniest movies on earth ?.
In this modern world of bad movies we have several hundred classics which made it through that are worth remembering. This is one of those films.This is a movie that makes me laugh out loud from beginning to end, any and every time I see it. Usually, even the funniest of movies can make you laugh out loud only on the first and second viewings, and then the jokes aren't so new and so only make you smile, but this movie is the rarest of exceptions. So many of the jokes and lines are quotable over and over, or at least until your unenlightened friends (those who don't appreciate Monty Python, the poor deluded souls) stop inviting you over.
Every last person of Monty Python team deserves all the credit.
The following will reveal the story
The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit with him at Camelot. He finds many knights including Sir Galahad the pure, Sir Lancelot the brave, the quiet Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot. They do travel "on horses",Through satire of certain events in history (witch trials, the black plague) they find Camelot, but after literally a quick song and dance they decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search. While they search for the Grail, scenes of the knight's tales appear and why they have the name they have. Throughout their search they meet interesting people and knights along the way. Most of the characters die; some through a killer "monster" (which they defeat with the holy hand grenade), others from not answering a question right from the bridge of Death, or die some other ridiculous way. In the end, King Arthur and Sir Bedevere are left and find the Castle Arrrghhh where the Holy Grail is. They are met by some French soldiers who taunted them earlier in the film, so they were not able to get into the castle.
I really don't wanna give a full review,because it would contain so much spoilers.It would be real hard to write a long review with no spoilers.
So I would like to encourage everyone of my friends to SEE THIS.
(Monty Python will always be loved or hated depending on your personality. And this is Monty Python at its typical best. If you like daft jokes, killer fluffy animals, bad accents and intelligent discussions that will most likely go over your head the first time round.................
...then you will love The Holy Grail.)

"King Arthur:
[after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms]
Look, you stupid Bastard. You've got no arms left.
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: *Look*!
Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound. " -

Absolutely hilarious. The black knight scene is so funny. If you don't even chuckle, your brain is broken.
-
MCT:July 25, 2008are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
~this movie should not be judged until it is watched and least twice. -
MCT:July 25, 2008
This may possibly be my favorite movy ever, not because it has a well formulated plot, nor because any of the actors are insanely good, but because of the way everything comes together with a simple ludicrousy that leaves me laughing the whole way through it.
from the killer bunny to the philisophical mud peasant to the writers heart attack to the french men and their catapults and their poop, this movie is a cinematic joyride that requires no though, but just leaves you to laugh and cheer as the bumbling heroes bumble eve nfruther :D
I AM dissatisfied with the ending though :P I wonder if they ran outa money? -
MCT:July 21, 2008
Monty Python and the Holy Grail shows to us how thin is the line that
divides a movie from being stupid and being genius and a landmark of
comedy genre. Even though conservative critics might rather rate
negatively a movie featuring coconuts instead of horses, the standard
movie-lover will find this as a hilarious chill out.
I haven't watched the other Monty Python movies, but no film I have
seen compares to this. Scary Movies may come to mind, but not even the
first two are comparable to Monty Python's language and situation gags.
The story is basically that of King Arthur and three of the knights of
the round table going through numerous adventures as they seek for the
cup from which Jesus drank on the Last Supper.
It is to jot down that this movie contains a lot of language and
British humor, which may not be suitable to the audience which finds
laughter on stupid falls or hits in the head or other parts.
As a conclusion, I think that although you do not end up liking the
movie, you still would appreciate to have seen how a movie with low
budget is exactly done. -

what the.........
this is the weirdest movie i have ever seen in my life. it's so random! and there is absolutely no point to it! -
MCT:July 20, 2008
"I Fart in your general direction!" This movie is hilarious, but the story is non-existant. Its good for a laugh but nothing more.

Oh, the Black Knight. And the poor minstrels (And there was much rejoicing.. Yaayy!)...
And then all the great Frenchman lines. :D
And of course, "Run away!!"
What a great movie. I bash people whenever they say they haven't seen it.posted 497 days ago -
This has got to be one of the greatest films of all time. I'm always quoting something from it. ANY fan of British humour, or comedy in general, MUST see it at least once!

Taunting Frenchmen....... Constitutional peasants..... closeted maidens who like being spanked......... and of course, The Knights Who Say Ni.
This film has hilarity and it has it in spades. Inspired lunacy in the best British tradition for inspired stupidity.
Even the opening credits get you giggling like a naughty schoolboy.... They start off being subtitled in faux Swedish, go from there to a description of how the title writer's sister carved her initials on the back of a moose, and somehow morph into Reg Llama of Brixton and 57 Mexican Whooping Llamas.... Only the Pythons could do it.
I saw this movie when it was first released. I must have seen it a hundred times since, and I still find new things to laugh at that I didn't notice before.
So remember, be careful if you ever visit Camelot. It is a silly place.posted 505 days ago
