Find your grail, but be warned, it's filled with laughter!

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2015)

It's very fortunate that "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" has become mainly a camp classic thanks to the extremely funny Broadway version "Spamelot" which lovingly preserved it and has since gone on to great status to where it certainly is going to eventually be made into a movie itself. With a few songs used later on in the Broadway version (which also included one song from "The Life of Brian"), "Holy Grail" on its own is worthy of being perhaps one of the funniest movies of the 1970's. And it all starts with coconuts!
Whether it be head chopping rabbits, cows flying off the roofs of forts, forest guards demanding shrubbery's, men in all the women's roles, not quite so dead corpses or riddle asking bridge guards, there's something always going on to keep this interesting. Of course, if you've listened to the music of the Broadway version over and over again, this might seem a bit dry for American tastes, but with additional viewing, it does begin to come together. Like the same year's "Rocky Horror Picture Show", this has a script with dialog that quickly becomes individual favorite lines, and even with some very gory scenes, it never ceases to be hysterically funny.
