Monty Python and the Holy Grail
1975 | Comedy | UK | Directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones
Overview
King Arthur quests on a shoestring: coconut hooves, a killer rabbit, knights who say ni, and an anarcho syndicalist peasant. Funded partly by rock musicians, shot in mud, it became the most quoted comedy in the English language. The Broadway musical came three decades later. Logical absurdism at terminal velocity. What is your quest, indeed.
