This is another of my favorites. Along with The Life of Brian and the Parrot sketch and oh my gosh I could go on for days. I actually had a friend in high school that could recite some of the sketches word for word! ;D Terry Gilliam is definitely an aquired taste is some areas. But he definitely earned my respect after Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. (I guess if I say I'm a Hunter Thompson fan that shouldn't surprise one single person in here ;D)

Yeah, I agree, this movie is pretty funny. . .I like it better than I like The Life of Brian. We're actually watching this in my Arthurian Legends and Lit class this week. . . which should be fun. It'll be interesting to see now that I know a lot more about Arthurian Literature.

I thought that "Monty Python and the Holy Grail " was SOOO FUNNY! I favorite part with the cave & the bunny! Oh my goodness every time I go to play with George (my foster bunny) I can't help but think of that scene! BBC America is always playing something that Monty Python did. Here's some of my favorite lines lololololololo!!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim: There he is! King Arthur: Where? Tim: There! King Arthur: What? Behind the rabbit? Tim: It *is* the rabbit! King Arthur: You silly sod! ... [after Bors is killed by the killer rabbit] Tim: I *warned* you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you *knew*, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little *bunny*, isn't it? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [the cartoon Knights are being chased by the animated Beast of Aaaaauuuugggggghhh] Narrator: And as the Black Beast lurched forward, escape for Arthur and his knights seemed hopeless, when suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack! [cut to the animator shown cringing] Animator: Ughck! [falls backwards in his chair] Narrator: [back to the cartoon] The cartoon peril was no more. [Beast of Aaaaauuuugggggghhh disappears] Narrator: The quest for the Holy Grail could continue.

So, we did watch this in my class, and I do get more out of it now that I know more about Arthurian Legend and Lit. . .it is actually pretty accurate in its satire of Arthurian customs/legends. For example, one of my new favorite parts: 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 (the peasant): 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. What King Arthur says in this bit sounds almost exactly like something from Thomas Malory ( Le Morte D'Arthur), and that just heightens the humor for me!

Yes this is a very quotable movie. Quite fun to watch with a friend or a whole group of friends.. You must watch it more than once to really get the best laughs. Watching this one alone is really no fun cause there is on one to laugh with.
