The Holy Grail of Comedy!

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2015)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975): Dir: Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones / Cast: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Ildle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones: A masterpiece in comedy brilliance. It is the famous Monty Python troop attacking King Arthur and the knights of the round table. Graham Chapman plays King Arthur who is tasked to tracked down the Holy Grail. Terry Gilliam plays Arthur's trusty sidekick Patsy, who famously uses coconuts to give off the illusion of horse galloping. John Cleese plays brave Sir Lancelot whose sword is mightier than a thought. Michael Palin plays Sir Galahad the pure whose ventures take him to the castle Anthrax guarded by virgins. Eric Idle plays Sir Robin the not so brave whose minstrels sing songs of "brave retreats." Terry Jones plays the loyal Sir Bedevere whose hilarious plan of building a Trojan Rabbit backfires when the French taunters "taunt them again."Brilliant comic collaboration by all involved with such hysterical moments such as the black knight who"always triumphs." Then there is the vicious killer rabbits that can only be countered by the holy hand grenade. And let us not forget the dreaded Knights Who Say "Ni!" Directed by fellow Pythons Terry Gilliam, who also provides animated segments, and Terry Jones. The result is a comedy full of memorable elements that are so funny that it is easily one of the greatest comedies ever produced. Score: 10 / 10
