I have to say that "Monty Python and The Holy Grail" is one of the funniest movies i´ve ever seen. In pretty much every scene there is something hilarious, if it´s a long conversation about birds or animators who suffers heart attacks, it kept me laughing the whole way through. This is Monty Python at their best, they show that a low budget film can be entertaining like not many other. The acting is great, fantastic timing. The script is funny as I mentioned. If there is something though that I didn´t like it is the directing. It wasn´t bad but not good either, but sill, with sutch a hilarious script and great actors, this is a movie you wont forget.

It had me in stitches all the way through. There are just so many ridiculous moments such as the black knight and his refusal to give-up the fight, the rude Frenchman atop a castle, and of course the ferocious killer rabbit. If it actually had money in production it probably wouldn't have that rugged ridiculous look to it. Its just pure British comedy gold all the way through. The performances of all the Pythons are as usual brilliantly done and each of them adds something different to it. I love this film. Its definitely my favourite comedy out there - I'm a huge fan of over-the-top ridiculousness, and if you are too then you won't find a better film anywhere.

Monty Phython and the Holy Grail is one of the funniest films I have ever watched, and definetely one of my all-time favourite films. Randomness has never been this well-written- or this well executed. Monty Phython and the Holy Grail is the ultimate spoof comedy with a difference.

What's different from Monty Phython from most spoof comedies out there is that these jokes have a real reason for why they are funny, wheras most comedies like this don't. Holy Grail's main intention is create modern satires and twists on the histroric accounts, and it's done with sheer brilliance.

"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries".

Deceitfully droll in some places, but offers a solidly done and absolutely hilarious tale of knights searching for the Holy Grail. From beginning to end this movie has plenty of laughs and just plain funny moments to make it a gem.

Who doesn't love this movie? I'd say Monty Python was at their finest without money, like the first season of the Flying Circus, or this, the first movie. Absolutely timeless.

In my opinion this is one of the greatest movies of all time! The Holy Grail is Monty Pythons version of King Arthur and the mid-evil times. I have seen this movie more then 100 times and I still laugh at every joke! I could even act out most of the scene's from this movie. Go rent this movie.. If you don't...You don't know what you are missing!

"Own It - An amazing comedy, that still stays fresh no matter how many times you take it in."

In my opinion required viewing for any member of the English speaking world. Simple laugh out loud humor.

  Nobody ever placed brilliance in the service of silliness quite the way the Python gang did. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is stuffed with both.

  Basically an excuse for set pieces, some amusing, others overdone.
