Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
Movie
Released
The quest is easy to remember; the interruptions, strange background habits and escalating arguments are where another viewing pays off. It repeatedly finds new ways to puncture the dignity of a supposedly grand adventure. Knowing the famous encounters lets you listen to the supporting voices and notice how cheaply made scenery becomes an active part of the humour.

About Monty Python and the Holy Grail
King Arthur, accompanied by his squire, recruits his Knights of the Round Table, including Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot and Sir Galahad the Pure. On the way, Arthur battles the Black Knight who, despite having had all his limbs chopped off, insists he can still fight. They reach Camelot, but Arthur decides not to enter, as "it is a silly place".
