Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
Perhaps the holy grail is the laughter we found along the way.
Presentation:
You’ve never seen King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table like this. Arturian tales typically have a serious reputation, which is why this film is such a riot. The distinct English humor with episodic sketch comedy is one of a kind, influencing many films to come. Although there is some story as our heroes embark on a quest to search for a mythical holy grail, it’s the slapstick parody along the way that will have you splitting your sides and forgetting about it all. But don’t worry, it’s just a flesh wound.
Conclusion:
An adventure full of laughter and silliness, the memey humor is probably even more relevant today than it was in the past. If you wanted to lighten up your day, this one will make you laugh. If you want something similar you can also check out This is Spinal Tap for the music equivalent. But even if you somehow don’t die of laughter, its iconic story and impact is legendary. Merlin’s beard!
