Classic comedy actually deserving of the phrase

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2002)

Its hard to be objective about the Holy Grail. I've seen it enough times that it now has nothing new to offer- but I'd watch it again and again just for the sheer joy. Be it soldiers with a keen interest in birds, exceptionally rude Frenchmen, giant wooden rabbits, a sociological analysis of feudal Britain, some backhand live dead-body dealing, a dismembered Black Knight not willing to give up or prehaps just some Knights standing around saying 'Ni' and hankering after a shrubbery, every single second that is spent watching the Holy Grail is spent either recovering from the last laugh or being goaded into a new one. As such, there is little doubt that it truly can be crowned the Greatest Comedy Film Ever (TM)- except that The Life of Brian is probably cleverer, if not more funny.
