May 3, 2009The knights who say "Ni" + the killer bunny rabbit + the extraordinarily rude Frenchman + The Bridge Of Death over The Gorge Of Eternal Peril + the three-headed knight = genius.

April 1, 2009Surreal and raving mad extravaganza.
An irreverent, nonsensical and above all hilarious catalog of characters and situations.
A real blast. -
March 17, 2009although a bit too lost in itself sometimes, holy grail is still a hilarious classic comedy. usually comedies set outside the realm of "real world" situations fall flat for me, but this one rides along side blazing saddles as the best examples of this style of film. all charact... ...( read more )

January 30, 2009I have nothing bad to say about this movie. This film is such a classic and its skits are legendary. Words fail me to do this film justice; I can barely talk about it without rehashing all the routines. My only complaint might be the incomprehensible ending. But yes, other than t... ...( read more )

April 17, 2007Oh, the Black Knight. And the poor minstrels (And there was much rejoicing.. Yaayy!)...
And then all the great Frenchman lines. :D
And of course, "Run away!!"
What a great movie. I bash people whenever they say they haven't seen it. -
April 15, 2007This has got to be one of the greatest films of all time. I'm always quoting something from it. ANY fan of British humour, or comedy in general, MUST see it at least once!

April 10, 2007Taunting Frenchmen....... Constitutional peasants..... closeted maidens who like being spanked......... and of course, The Knights Who Say Ni.
This film has hilarity and it has it in spades. Inspired lunacy in the best British tradition for inspired stupidity.
Even the opening credits get you giggling like a naughty schoolboy.... They start off being subtitled in faux Swedish, go from there to a description of how the title writer's sister carved her initials on the back of a moose, and somehow morph into Reg Llama of Brixton and 57 Mexican Whooping Llamas.... Only the Pythons could do it.
I saw this movie when it was first released. I must have seen it a hundred times since, and I still find new things to laugh at that I didn't notice before.
So remember, be careful if you ever visit Camelot. It is a silly place.
