1975     89 min     Universal Rated PG In the early 1970's the Monty Python troop (Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, and Terry Jones) began producing, with the help of a fundraising concert headlined by Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, initial photography on what would later become the single most unforgivably sidesplitting, enormously irreverent, shrewdly perceptive, unremittingly uproariously aggressive, gruesomely hysterical, and endlessly quotable comedies EVER. Endlessly stockpiled with hauntingly hysterical sketches that will probably never leave your mind including, The Knights Who Say Nei, The Self-Abusing Monks, The Black Knight, The Trojan Rabbit, the Ever-Appearing Verbally Abusing French, The Enchanter Named Tim, The Killer Bunny, The Bridge of Death, The Old Woman Named Dennis, and so many countless more great sketches to include here that I'd die trying. Monty Python and the Holy Grail remains an ever-enriching mirthful cult-classic that just seems to improve with age. 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. --Bruce Stein
