"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" Talkback (Spoilers)

[Lord Dalek]

AND NOW! AT LAST!
Another film completely different from some of the other films which aren't quite the same as this one is!



"On second thought... lets not go to Camelot... it is a silly place."

Release Date: May 10, 1974
Studio: Python (Monty) Pictures Ltd./EMI/Columbia
Directors: Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam
Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1
Starring: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Carol Cleveland, Neil Innes

Plot Summary: The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit with him at Camelot. He finds many knights including Sir Galahad the pure, Sir Lancelot the brave, the quiet Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot. They do not travel on horses, but pretend they do and have their servants bang coconuts to make the sound of horse's hooves. Through satire of certain events in history (witch trials, the black plague) they find Camelot, but after literally a quick song and dance they decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search. While they search for the Grail, scenes of the knight's tales appear and why they have the name they have. Throughout their search they meet interesting people and knights along the way...

Yet another one I've been meaning to do for years.

Probably one of the most quoted movies of all time. The DVD editions have nice extras, and set the standard of how movie commentary should be done.
