Product Description
The quest for the Holy Grail by King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table is retold in inimitable Python fashion.
Amazon.com
Could this be the funniest movie ever made? By any rational measure of comedy, this medieval romp from the Monty Python troupe certainly belongs on the short list of candidates. According to Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide, it's "recommended for fans only," but we say hogwash to that--you could be a complete newcomer to the Python phenomenon and still find this send-up of the Arthurian legend to be wet-your-pants hilarious. It's basically a series of sketches woven together as King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail, with Graham Chapman as the King, Terry Gilliam as his simpleton sidekick Patsy, and the rest of the Python gang filling out a variety of outrageous roles. The comedy highlights are too numerous to mention, but once you've seen Arthur's outrageously bloody encounter with the ominous Black Knight (John Cleese), you'll know that nothing's sacred in the Python school of comedy. From holy hand grenades to killer bunnies to the absurdity of the three-headed knights who say "Ni--!," this is the kind of movie that will strike you as fantastically funny or just plain silly, but why stop there? It's all over the map, and the pace lags a bit here and there, but for every throwaway gag the Pythons have invented, there's a bit of subtle business or grand-scale insanity that's utterly inspired. The sum of this madness is a movie that's beloved by anyone with a pulse and an irreverent sense of humor. If this movie doesn't make you laugh, you're almost certainly dead. --Jeff Shannon

I purchased this dvd in hopes that it would come to my house before the weekend. I placed the order on a Tuesday and received it on Thursday. I was quite pleased with the product and have had no problems with the dvd. It was a good purchase and I would buy from them again.

Alexis Gipson (Bellefonte, PA)
I was looking for a copy of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" to introduce my son to the genre (and see the movie myself again). This item is the movie, absolutely no problems with the product, good price too.
The Holy Grail of Films July 11, 2010
B
Out of the 4 Monty Python films there is only 2 worth watching, this and the Life of Brian. It has the combination of the Monty Python randomness, the best bits of there comedy, a great adventure and a good story line. A very funny comedy.
If you like random/odd endings (especally Monty Python endings) then you will love this ending, if not you will probably hate the ending. But don't let you think this is a bad film it has laugh's all the way through and is one of the great comedy's of all time if not one of the top ten films of all time. If you like to laugh just buy it.
