    Remember Flying Circus and how there would often be moments of barf-inducing hilarity interspersed with moments of akward silliness. Well, there's none here. No, really none whatsoever. The film is pure comedic genius form start to finish.

    This is THE greatest comedy of all time, this movie is made to be watched twice for full effect, and once a month therafter to remind you how hilarious it is! Without a doubt, my all-time favorite comedy!

    If you haven't seen it, you don't know what you're missing. If you've seen it and don't get it, you don't know what you're missing. No person on this Earth should die before seeing Michael Palin's scene as the politically astute peasant Dennis. Absolutely priceless.

    This is the definition of comedy. Insanely silly humor that pulls out all the stops. No-one has come close to representing the humor of all the Monty Prthon series.

    Actually, this movie is more like a 10+ but I guess I'll have to settle for loally 10 b/c some English pig-dogs didn't create the option of higher rating choices. Grrrr... Anyway, about the MOVIE... First of all, see it. Second of all, see it again. Third of all buy it along with copies for your friends. I guarantee you won't regret it. Soon Monty Python and the Holy Grail will be the topic of conversation. Unless of course your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries...… Expand

    This is absolutely the most fabulous, zany movie which it has ever been my extreme fortune of viewing! The humour is one of a kind, a real work of art! With fabulous twist and turns and cazy jokes! The perfect movie for the entire family! A must see!

    A timeless, brilliantly silly film. *The* standard for any modern medieval comedies. Who better to parody the fabled king of the Britons and his knights than the british comedy troupe Monty Python?

    This is THE funniest comedy I've ever seen. I loved how they made everything look so fake on purpose, the making the galloping horse sound with coconuts, the monks chanting and hitting themselves in their faces with boards... it was so funny... now I can see why people love this movie so much!

    I had to watch this movie twice in 1975, because I was laughing so hard I missed some of it. It still cracks me up today, after seeing it a couple of dozen times. Easily the funniest movie ever!

    Great movie!!! I laughed through out all of it, and was amazed and shocked about how the director of this movie was pushing the envolope on insanity in this movie!! It is a must-see movie!

    Of the three Monty Python movies (not including And Now For Something Completely Different, which was essentially a "best of" for the series) I still think The Life of Brian is the best, but this is still a classic movie. Even people who never knew that Monty Python started out on television (or had several other movies) have seen it. The black knight, the swallows, the killer rabbit...just about everything in it is hilarious and memorable.… Expand

    Quite simply the best comedy movie ever. It doesn't get any funnier or you would bust a lung. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time! Silly English bedwetting types!

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

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