The all time funniest.

Monty Python has got to be one of the funniest movies of all time. Cheesy acting and funny jokes fit together great in this film. The writing and story is great and it keeps you moving the whole time. The ending is understandable if you knew anything about their budget for this movie. It is great!!!

If You Like the Pythons, You Have to Own This One - DVD

I loved this movie when I first saw it right after it's release. The DVD version is crisp and clean for an older movie. The sound is not up to today's standards. But it is still one of the funniest movies ever made. You've got to own it if you like funny movies.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

This is SO funny! I love it! My family and I are such fans of this movie that we know all the words to the Camalot song, a.k.a. Knights of the Round Table! We have entire scenes memorized!

This movie is about King Arthur's quest to find the Holy Grail. He is joined by Sir Lancelot, Sir Robin, Sir Galahad and the rest as they search throughout England for a holy cup. Their quest begins when King Arthur has finally rounded up his knights of the Round Table and they are given an assignment from the Lord. Arthur and his knights encounter a taunting French guard, knights that say "Ne" and lots more! Filled with funny songs and catchy lines, this is one movie you won't want to miss!!!!

RUN AWAY, OR I SHALL SAY NEE!

The only reason not to see this film is if you are as cowardly as the-less-than-brave Sir Robin. Beware watch this movie only if ye be folks of valour, for in it are such things as men have never seen and lived! Watch when you have your shrubery in hand because you must get past the knights of Nee(guardians of the sacred words nee, ping and nuvomp) to reach the enchanter Tim and his sizzleing staff. Watch out for the black beqast of augggggggggg.

--Awesome Movie!!--

This movie has got to be one of the funniest movies I have ever seen!! I laughed throughout the whole thing! Trust me, if you like comedies like Ace Ventura, Bubble Boy, or any other type of silly comedy, you will love this one! Come on now you've gotta have a silly sense of humor sometimes. This is a classic on my movie list, enjoy!

Brilliant

It takes a genious to write something so completely and hilariously random. I absolutely LOVE Monty Python And The Holy Grail! It is most likely my favorite movie! If you have never seen it i urge you to watch it right now and join in the writers' and actors' wonderful masterpiece.

The Funniest Movie I Have Ever Seen

Absolutely bloody hilarious. It's a riot. This film from those funny English lads the Pythons, follows King Arthur and his Round Table searching for the Holy Grail. This quest provides some of the funniest, silliest, hilarious moments ever on film. The Knights Who Say, The Black Knight, The Bridge Of Death all brilliant classics. The ending is also very funny. King Arthur and what's left of the troupe are charging a French castle but are stopped.... by the cops! They load King Arthur in the back of a police van and we end with a cop blacking out a camera! Very very funny. I first saw this when i was 6 and have always loved it. If you can laugh at something silly this is for you. It might be nonsensical if you aren't familiar with the Python's work but this is a great place to start. Laugh Out Loud! It's healthy.10/10

Can't-Get-Enough-of-It Masterpiece!!!!!

This is truely the funniest movie I have ever seen! The cast and writers of Monty Python are such genieses to create such hilarious and origional characters. I expecially LOVE the hilarious son of the king! And the knights that guarded him and his castle were just sooo stupid and funny. All of this is in the Story of Sir Lancelot, which are the parts that I could watch over and over again. Nice work, Monty!

Surreal shenanigans of the highest calibre

I can't say anything about this that hasn't already been said. I just wanted to add my voice to the legions of you who have praised this film. I would say that the Pythons are definitely like Marmite - you either love 'em or hate 'em.The non-fans (like my husband) simply don't get their humour. It must be an inherited thing as my Dad and brother love them too. The first time I saw this I pee'd my pants laughing. I couldn't even pick out a best bit as it is all wonderful, although I think John Cleese as the French knight is worth a mention and the Knights who say 'Ni'. My only complaint about this film is that nerds tend to go about quoting bits as if they were the first (and only) people to ever see it. They think they are so original and amusing !! I know that 'Life of Brian' seems to be regarded as the finest Python movie but I love this the best.

And Now For Something COMPLETELY Different!!!

Well, my dear friends... I have to say that this movie is absolutely brilliant. It is even more that funny - it's wacky, strange, uproarisly silly and off-the-wall crazy. It brings so much joy and happiness, so it certainly will recharge your batteries, even if you're are dead. (Remember the second scene, huh?)What else can I say? This film is an instant classic - with outstanding performances by Graham Chapman as King Arthur (I'm still so sorry that he's dead!), John Cleese, who is supposed to be my favourite foreign actor (it was him who brought so much joy and pleasure in the movie), Eric Idle (his long nose and eyebrows will drive you mad!), Terry Jones (one of the Directors) and Michael Palin (I'm so hooked with his craziness!). And, of course, the bizarre Direction and offbeat cartoon bits by Terry Gilliam. Watch it immediately. It will bring some sense into your boring miserable life. I promise! And please - do not offend Frenchmen, o'kay?

GREAT MOVIE

I think this movie is an excellent addition to any home library. If you don't have it you should really look into it. it is very educational. You learn everything from how to identify a witch to different types of "shrubbery". it is deffinatly worth your while!!!!!!

Caution- do not watch while drinking anything

This movie is totally hilarious. Even more funny late at night when you are sleep deprived. This movie is such a spoof of all things British you know it will tickle your funny bone. From the limbless black knight (come back here, I'll bite your kneecaps off) to the obnoxious French soldiers, this movie is a classic and should be watched atleast once a year.

A Film As Necessary To Our World As Oxygen (Quite Seriously)

Certainly one of the best films ever made, the rare comedy that will make you laugh as many times on the 50th watching as on the first--and probably more on the 50th. True genius. A comedy landmark and a great summation of why Monty Python remains as one of the top names in all comedy history.

Lets face it this film is unique

Watch this after a few drinks and die laughing. Interesting that the Americans voted it higher than all the other countries (Python have a very British sense of humour). I suppose if I had to compare it to any other film it would be Blazing Saddles. Enjoy

PURE COMIC GENIUS!

(...)Well all I have to say to that is you do not know the meaning of comidy you cheesy second hand electric donkey bottom biter!I mean,really if you look comedy up in the dictionary it will read as follows: MONTY PYTHON and the HOLY GRAIL.See? Now I've made my point that this is the best movie is the
movie in the comic genre that is known by mankind. The special edition DVD has two discs the first of the movie and the second of the special features. On the special features if you go to the singalongs and go to the lego knights if you are a true MONTY PYTHON fan you will engoy the brief little somthing from the television show... hint hint nudge nudge wink wink (the parrot scetch). The only reason I give this movie four stars instead of five is because of the ending(you'll see what I mean). I think I've said enough,but keep in mind that this is a great movie (one of the best).

Black knight loses limbs

Other knights only say "ni"

All in a day's work

Ever Genre Has A Movie That Defines It...

Is Monty Python and the Holy Grail the funniest movie of all time? Yes. Should it make you cry with laughter? Yes. If you don't laugh are you dead? Yes. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is so absolutely hilarious! I was seriously crying in some scenes, it's that funny! What's not to love? Coconuts instead of horses, knights dancing at the round table, a bridge of death, insulting french, farm animals being launched from a castle, and a killer rabbit. Belive it is as funny as it sounds, and there's more! Monty Python and the Holy Grail could be one of those movies that defies a genre. Science-fiction has Star Wars, suspence has Psycho, horror has The Exorcist, comedy has-you guessed it-Monty Python and the Holy Grail! If you havn't seen it, see it now! If you don't think it is funny, see a docter, fast. Oh I forgot, there are knights that say "Ni"!

Top ten funniest... it may lead the list!

Monty Python -- what we laughed at B.D.(Before Dilbert). The Far Side of British humor. Monty Python and the Holy Grail -- their first feature film -- it's a good romp. I wondered before I bought the DVD if in this fast food, fast paced, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" times if it would still be as funny.

The duel with the Black Knight would stand up.... but what about the Killer Rabbit? The banquet scene a la songfest... "Whot? THE CURTAINS?" The French guard... "Run away!" "Run away!" "Help! Help! I am being oppressed!" Yes, no, not even the Killer Rabbit paled with age. Someone get me a tissue -- I laughed until I cried.

The DVD quality is astonishingly good for an (originally) low budget flick. You are offered the options of 5.1 Dolby, Dolby Digital or good old mono. Like everything Python, even the number of commentary and subtitle options are beyond the beyond. I particularly enjoyed the cast bitching. Excellent. Just excellent.

The bonus materials add an exorbitant amount of value. The Monks sing-a-long segment is extremely well done. I was able to figure out the difficult hand movements immediately. "THWACK"

There is a lovely travelogue. Michael Palin and an old guy go wandering around some Scottish castles and glens. You get to see the inside of the castle on the island in the middle of the lake. "Do they host B&B guests?" was my only question.

Legos. The singing knights recreated in plastic animation. Near 'bout priceless.

But, even with all the extras: moaning and groaning, dancing Legos and at least, every bit of 10 minutes of additional animations -- not to mention the incredibly useful short about coconuts -- I think it is worth buying just for the film. Just to have it in your possession. So at anytime, you are a mere flick of the remote away from "Ni!! Ni!!"

And I would positively say this, even if they had left out the additional 24 seconds: it's worth it. It is cheaper than a single hour with a mental health professional, even after you have met your deductible.

Monty Python's Best!

this movie is Monty Python's best. From the arguing about the swallow and the coconut to the Holy Hand Grenade. It is probably one of the funniest movies ever made.

Contains spoilers! Monty Python and the Holy Grail, directed by Terry Gilliam in 1975, is a story set in 932 AD. Gilliam used the off-the-wall humor that is the staple of the Monty Python films and shows. It follows British King Arthur as he searches for knights to join him at the round table in Camelot. The film begins with Arthur coming into the scene on what sounds like his horse. We soon find out that he has a companion merely clicking coconut shells together to make the sound; we see this throughout the movie. Eventually Arthur finds a knight and asks him to join his party. But the knight refuses, and also denies Arthur passage through the forest. A classic battle ensues with Arthur dismembering the knight leaving it only its torso and head. Comically, the knight is not dead and continues to bad mouth Arthur as he rides off. Along the way he does finally acquire a group of knights, most notably Sir Launcelot, Sir Galahad, and Sir Robin. As they venture to Camelot they receive a quest from God: to find the Holy Grail. They split up and each head on their separate searches for the grail. Each group encounters many strange challenges along the way. The `brave' Sir Robin, most notable for being a coward, is accompanied by his minstrels. They sing praise of his bravery along the way until the finally come about a three-headed knight. They eventually sneak away while the three head are bickering. The minstrels continue to sing; only now about his cowardly fleeing of the knight. During Sir Galahad's search, he sees an image of a grail flashing above a castle. He runs to the castle to find it occupied with sex-deprived women, but no grail. Just as Galahad is happily about to engage in various acts with the women, Launcelot comes and takes him away, thinking that he's saving Galahad. Next, Arthur's clan encounters the Knights of Ni. The Knights of Ni are tall creatures with masks in all black whose vile attack is saying `ni' to passers. They request Arthur find them a shrubbery. When Arthur returns with the shrub, they request another one as well as ask them to `cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring.' Arthur is saved when Robin stumbles along and they begin to talk. Robin uses the word `it' at sometime, which happens to be the Knight's weak point. Many other odd encounters occur along the way to their unsuccessful quest for the Grail. All of which are equally ridiculous as the ones I described. The whole crew of Monty Python does a wonderful job using their outlandish senses of humor to make this one of the most hilarious movies of all time.
