4 out of 5 stars 'Tis but a flesh wound!    December 15, 2008

I love it! I've watched it many times and it still makes me laugh hysterically. Ni!


5 out of 5 stars "It's Not the Real Grail?" - Highly Recommended!    December 6, 2008
CFH (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA)
Somewhat of a guilty pleasure, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is one of my top 5 movies. Those that like Monty Python will like this movie, but I have shown it some folks who do not "get it" or are offended by the religious and sexual content.

That being said, this movie contains some of the funniest scenes ever put into a film and is very quotable. My wife and I find ourselves saying, "It's not the real grail?", "I shall taunt you a second time", "One, two, five...", and oh so many others as the occasion fits. We have not allowed our children to watch it, so the quoting is fairly annoying to them, but sooner or later they will watch it and "get it", just not with me.

Highy recommended!


5 out of 5 stars great representation and price    November 10, 2008
Kim Cyr (San Diego, CA)
We found this to be a great price compared to buying in a store. We were happy that it was so easy to order and came very quickly after we ordered it. Of course it was in great condition too.


3 out of 5 stars Not quite great edition    October 8, 2008
Ranting Thespian (Wisconsin)
Well, the movie is awesome, the second DVD is awesome, all the little extras on both DVDs are great. Of course the film is grainy and such, it was meant to be that way.

Now, this version is not as good as another. The Extraordinarily Deluxe Edition. It has the DVD and the second DVD. It also includes the old album that was released of the film ow on CD. It is packaged nicely (it looks better than this version).

I think it is kewl that they were adding in the Script, but it is already on the DVD itself. Plus if you just google, you can find it online very easily. So it really isn't worth it to have it included for this much. The Extraordinarily version is the one I recommend. It's packaging looks much better as well as aranged better, it has the extra cd, and it costs less. With the money you save, you can get some coconuts and play along with the movie.


5 out of 5 stars My absolute favorite movie EVER!    September 23, 2008

For mindless entertainment I love to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. There is no rhyme or reason to the movie, just a bunch of people doing stupid stuff and making it hilarious. There's no need for neverending flatulance jokes (which is overplayed in almost every comedy of today) or a need to make fun of different races and cultures just to get a cheap laugh. What it is is pure stupidity that makes you practically wet yourself when you watch it. I couldn't tell you how many times I have watched this movie and laugh hysterically every time (as if it's the first time I'm seeing it and hearing the jokes). This movie is perfect for those who feel like today's comedy's are overdone. It's full of fresh comedy (which no one since has even tried to copy) and doesn't bore you with repetitiveness

This movie, however, is NOT for everyone. ESPECIALLY OVERANALYZERS!! You need to watch the movie for what it is.....a silly comedy. There is no need to analyze why there's coconuts and no horses or why a woman is getting weighed. If you want something to ananlyze watch a documentary or a serious movie and go to a coffee shop afterwards to swap notes. Don't do it while watching the movie and definitely DON'T WATCH THIS ONE!
