Review: this is onbe of the greatest comedy's ever fimed, this shows that you can make a funny movie with a very tight budget, i believe it takes real talent to make a movie like this, and this movie will stand as one of the great comedy's for generations and generations of humans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ni!
Review: This is one of the most hilarious DVDs I've Ever seen. The extra features on this DVD are really great too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You're All Silly Twits
Review: Every Pythonite should own this DVD, I don't care if you don't even own a DVD player; just buy it and watch it at a friend's house. Countless hours of one's life can be wasted on this single purchase alone. Not that it's a bad thing.

I dare anyone to find the newly added 24 seconds of film!! It'll take you at least that many times watching it through to find it. This set is loaded with awesome special features and anyone remotely interested in Python will enjoy them to the fullest.

Lastly, I read the first review and I have no idea what the glitches are because I've yet to encounter any. Everything ran smoothly, and just being able to repeatedly watch your favorite Holy Grail scene without constantly rewinding/fast-forwarding deserves to be in everyone's DVD collection!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Comedy
Review: One of the best Monty Python movies, and a great comedy besides. Lots of memorable scenes and dialogue. I think I should have waited and bought the DVD version though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Minimum three viewing required, (or is it three copies?)
Review: There are been a lot of clever flims out there. Films to make you laugh, films well written, well acted, well edited, with great special effects and all star casts...

...but lets forget about them and talk about Monty Python and the Holy Grail. There are simply not enough adjatives to adaquately describe this film. It is thinking humor, it is slapstick humor, it is political humor, it is irrevant humor, it parodies Arthurian Legends (with a jab at ancient greece as well) documentaries, spectacles, and itself all in one package.

It does all of this on a shoestring budget and a cast basically consisting of the six pythons, and a few extras thrown on here and there for speciality scenes.

This movie isn't so much watched as experienced. For maximum viewing pleasure don't let anyone tell you about the film. Let them sit you down, turn on the VCR and be amazed.

Like A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM you will miss funny things if you don't watch it multiple times; Unlike FORUM it is not due to editing but do to little backround things that are easy to miss. I think three viewings minimum are necessary to catch all of the backround stuff. Of course if you are not Leonard Malton then you will watch this movie three times out of sheer pleasure. If you haven't bought it yet, shame on you! Don't you know that people are starving in the BBC residuals department!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ni! and other such silly words
Review: Oh my God! I love this movie! Admittedly I am a Python addict, owning all of their first season as well as some other python related items(ie the cardinals cape and a dish rack)But I must say this my absolute favorite(excluding of course the dishrack, as it is both fun AND functional). On that note, this movie is definately one of the funiest ever made, and if you don't like it, tough! From the rather rude frenchman("your mother was hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"), to the ballad of Sir Robin, you won't stop laughing, or if you do, it will be from something other than this movie. Now, the only problem is, as funny as the subtitles are, I simply can't find a way to turn them off--helpful hints, anyone?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: And now for something different. . .
Review: I once read in a review that one had to either love or hate the Pythons, that there were no in-betweens. Well, that was wrong. My opinion was of them was somewhere in-between, at least until seeing this movie. I'm totally in *LOVE* w/the Pythons now! The Holy Grail is so freakin' hilarous that I was literally rolling on the floor laughing. I took a course in Medieval History and to have everything I was taught made fun of, saterized and totally torn to pieces (and done in so great a way) was fabulous. A great movie for anyone who wants a great spoof on medieval lore or just wants to have tons of fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Too funny!
Review: I just love this movie! It is just too funny. From Roger the Shrubber to Bring out your dead! The only draw back is that is ends abruptly...almost as if they ran out of time. But a wonderfully funny movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the all time funniest movies!
Review: This movie is one of the funniest movies ever! The humor in the movies takes a minute to get sometimes, but it is still a great movie to sit down and laugh at. Whether it is the coconut horse sounds, or the knights who say "NI" this movie is great. If you need to laugh, or just want a movie that will take your mind off of the real world for awhile, this is the one!
