    Synopsis

    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".

      New Times (L.A.)

      What we have here is an historical document of inestimable value, describing in no uncertain terms the terrible and beautiful times before AIDS.

      It's still the Holy Grail of crazy comedy.

      Boston Globe

      Nobody ever placed brilliance in the service of silliness quite the way the Python gang did. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is stuffed with both.

      A medieval-on-your-ass laff-riot.

      The material is superb, Neil Innes’ music is tremendous and Gilliam’s animations are timelessly brilliant.

      Chicago Tribune

      An incredibly silly film of great humor, brilliant design and epic insanity.

      Los Angeles Times

      Has a sense of humor that is intellectual, even academic, at heart.

      Chicago Reader

      Silly, sophomoric, and slapped together, but would you want it any other way?
