Could this be the funniest movie ever made? By any rational measure of comedy, this medieval romp from the Monty Python troupe certainly belongs on the short list of candidates. According to Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide, it's "recommended for fans only," but we say hogwash to that--you could be a complete newcomer to the Python phenomenon and still find this send-up of the Arthurian legend to be wet-your-pants hilarious. It's basically a series of sketches woven together as King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail, with Graham Chapman as the King, Terry Gilliam as his simpleton sidekick Patsy, and the rest of the Python gang filling out a variety of outrageous roles. The comedy highlights are too numerous to mention, but once you've seen Arthur's outrageously bloody encounter with the ominous Black Knight (John Cleese), you'll know that nothing's sacred in the Python school of comedy. From holy hand grenades to killer bunnies to the absurdity of the three-headed knights who say "Ni--!," this is the kind of movie that will strike you as fantastically funny or just plain silly, but why stop there? It's all over the map, and the pace lags a bit here and there, but for every throwaway gag the Pythons have invented, there's a bit of subtle business or grand-scale insanity that's utterly inspired. The sum of this madness is a movie that's beloved by anyone with a pulse and an irreverent sense of humor. If this movie doesn't make you laugh, you're almost certainly dead. --Jeff Shannon

 I got the Special Edition vs. the "foo foo" version ... September 3, 2008
Listening to previous reviewers here on Amazon, I ordered only the "special edition" vs. the "foo foo" version that came with the book and other thing.
I'm glad I did.
The quality is fine, and it's so wonderful to be whisked away into Python-land once again!
I still remember the dialog word for word - my fellow "Rhebo's" from HCHS would be proud ... !
Python is silly and irreverent, which makes it such a nice aside from the "dumbness" of reality TV. Makes me want to keep it loaded in the DVD player so on a moment's notice I can escape the ridiculosity of now into the silly of then.
If you're thinking of getting it, just do it. You'll be glad you did when it's been discontinued and you DO have your copy ... !
perfect condition! good service! August 18, 2008
C'mon! You all know about this movie!!! I only bought it b/c I wanted to own one of the classics!
Great movie, all sorts of extras August 14, 2008
Holy Grail is a classic and a must-own. This version has good video and audio quality. I haven't watched the extras yet, but there is all sorts of good stuff for DVD-extra-junkies.
What more can I say? August 12, 2008
It's the brilliance of Monty Python and it's hilarious.
What more can I say?
King Arthur had it coming . . . July 28, 2008
Well, this is a DAMN GOOD comedy! Almost ever scene is comic gold:
*The Black Knight
*"She's a Witch!"
*French Taunting
*Killer Rabbit
*Anarcho Cynicalism
*The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch
*Castle Anthrax
Well, I won't go into details, but if you haven't seen this movie, then you don't know what you're missing. So watch it!
A+
