A Comedy Classic

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2001)

A few weeks ago I went to see the re-release of "Holy Grail".

I had, of course, seen the film countless times. I saw it originally at a sneak preview where they handed out coconuts to the first 200 in attendance. They also had a scale model of the Trojan Rabbit in the lobby.
From the subtitled opening credits to the abrupt "film break" which closes out the film I was in stitches. More than that, it holds up. Some comedies you can watch once or twice and you're done. Not this film.
A couple of words about the new Deluxe Edition DVD: buy it. It is packed with extra features which will keep you busy for some time. I like the option which provides Shakespearean subtitles "for those who don't like the film".
