Summary: "Yes! We All Shall Be Spanked!"
Review: I Know, I Know. We all agree that this is quite possibly the Best Comedic Movie of All Time. The Knights that say Ni!, the Killer Rabbit, the Bridge of Death, The Rude Frenchmen... It's all Brilliant.

But what I've noticed is that few of the reviews talk about how memorable & quotable it is! This is a movie that will stay with you ( & your friends) until the day you die! You will be quoting lines out of this movie for the rest of your life. That's how good this "The Holy Grail" is.

Buy This Movie. Watch it Repeatedly. Ni!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Widescreen Edition)
Review: It never fails, regardless of where you live, there is someone that knows Holy Grail punch-lines verbatim. The reason, of course, is because it's one of the funniest movies ever made and if you haven't purchased this movie (or even seen Monty Python to begin with) I would whole-heartedly recommend this movie. Even from the start with the opening credit jokes, this movie sets the standards for all-time creativity with comedy. If you don't find this movie funny, I am trully sorry for you, because you might not have a sense of humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If I could, I'd give it (on DVD) 6 stars!
Review: This movie is outrageously hilarious. If "Excalibur" is the definative movie-telling of the Authur Legend, then Monty Python's Holy Grail is the Ultimate Parody.

From the "horses" that lead to a discussion of sparrows, to the three-headed giant, to the French Knights, to the Brave Sir Robin, you will be left laughing til your sides hurt.

The DVD version of the movie restores the portions of the screen cut off by the pan-and-scan process. The Python troupe notoriously used the big screen to their fullest advantage. You can now SEE things that could only be heard in the VHS version. And hearing gets better too thanks to Dolby Sound.

Granted, this is dry English humor with a bit of gratitous violence... so it may not be for everyone... but:

If you are a fan of the Aurthur Legend or just like off-the-wall comedy, this is a must see for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gaspingly funny nonsense
Review: Over-the-top Monty Python insanity about... well, Python movies are never ABOUT anything. "Grail" freely cannibalizes from Anglo-Saxon myth and legend to create gleefully anarchic insanity that doesn't need a plot to justify its existence. Almost every line is classic by now. The ending, with the cops busting everyone, is probably the only one that could possibly have worked.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: hillarious!
Review: This moie is soooo funny! you can't ge through it with out having to go to the bathroom at least once! But the thing that you must remember when watching this movie is that the people who wrote it are geniouses. No, really... They all graduated from Harvard with degrees in World Studies and History! And can anyone think of a better way to use education? Truly brilliant!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Walk away, just ignore them
Review: But don't walk away from this DVD! It is by far the funniest movie ever made. MP and the Holy Grail is a diamond in the rough of comedy. Only two shows come to mind that may stand a chance at being in the same room as the Holy Grail and they are "Ghostbusters" and "Galaxy Quest".

If you like MP, this is a must for your collection. Don't hesitate, buy it! Or, I'll say "Ni!" to you! Don't be like Sir Robin who, "Bravely ran away, he did. Oh, brave Sir Robin."

Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nothing beats The Holy Grail
Review: This comedic classic takes the cake as Monty Python's best work.

Those unfamiliar with the Holy Grail may need to watch it a few times to fully enjoy the humor, while those who have seen it before will fully enjoy its wacky characters and memorable scenes.

-Lancelot's ill-fated wedding slaughter. -The Knights who say "Nee". -The insulting Frenchmen. -Tim - the Sorcerer. -The killer rabbit. -And so much more.

Senseless British humor at its best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love it!
Review: Out of all the movies I have ever seen, this must be the funniest out there! It has an actual plot, and although it's corny, that gives it half the flavor! I mean come on- a lady banging a cat against a wall for no apparent reason? The swallow discussion? All those 'not quite dead people'? This isn't just a guy movie -Hey- I'm a girl- This is a movie for anyone with a sense of humor!You will find yourself memorizing quotes like no other! This is a very unique flick, scenes that are just crazy enough to work! I think it should've been rated PG-13 though!

Now go buy it you sons of a silly person!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The FUNNIEST Movie
Review: This movie was hilarious, from beginning to end. Some of my friends laughed until they almost choked, which makes me wonder if they had paramedics standing by at the theatres when it first came out. Funny play on Olde Worlde England was my favorite feature, and utter stupidness of some of the people even more funny. If you are in for a (rather gross) comedy, this is the one to get

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: To the what's with the ending review
Review: The reason why the movie cuts of like that is the tradition of most of the great Monty Python gags. They feel that a good bit should run its course, and than not need an ending. It may not make sense to a first time MP viewer
