Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2005)

Hilarious. Raunchy. Odd. Ridiculous. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a movie that was introduced to me in an advanced English class in high school (the "end of senior year/last day of class) treat"). I could not believe I had never heard of this fantastic movie! The twists and quirks DO NOT END. Ever tried to straighten out a slinky? Perfect parallel comparison to The Holy Grail. There are spoofs on and references to: religion, peasants, Robin Hood, Camelot, King Arthur, knights in general, and enchanters. This is a movie I have watched four times since that day in high school, and twice since I bought it for my boyfriend, Andrew, as a birthday gift (yesterday). The movies I can stand to watch twice are rare and few between. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, however, I could watch twice in one sitting (with an intermission, of course ;) ). A true "diamond in the rough". I highly recommend it.
